Brandon Saller (Atreyu) 20th Anniversary Audio Autopsy of "The Curse" - Talk Toomey

Brandon Saller of Atreyu sits down with Joshua Toomey and Talk Toomey for a 20th Anniversary Audio Autopsy of "The Curse". The Curse solidified Atreyu's place in the metalcore scene with its aggressive sound, melodic elements, and deeply personal lyrics. The album explores themes of heartbreak, personal struggles, and emotional turmoil, with standout tracks like "Bleeding Mascara" and "Right Side of the Bed" exemplifying the band's ability to blend intense riffs with memorable choruses. Alex Varkatzas' raw, emotional vocal delivery and Dan Jacobs' intricate guitar work are key highlights. The Curse also features contributions from producer Garth Richardson, who brought a polished yet powerful sound to the album. The music videos for "Right Side of the Bed" and "The Crimson" garnered significant attention, featuring cameos from the Bella Twins and adult film star Crystal Steele, adding to the band's visibility and appeal.

First. I miss Alex. They haven't been as good as the early days. They were heavier and had more passion. Now they remind me of a bad hair metal band. Brandon is a cool guy, met him at the Warped Tour 05. I hope they make heavy music again

Atreu and As I Lay Dying both say they are the originators of Metalcore.
