ATREYU: Video Interview With DAN JACOBS Available

December 10, 2008

Angel of Metal conducted an interview with guitarist Dan Jacobs of the California-based rock band ATREYU in late October in Manchester, England. Watch the five-minute chat below.

ATREYU's latest single from its current album, "Lead Sails Paper Anchor", is called "Slow Burn". Singer Alex Varkatzas told The Pulse of Radio that the track could be the most diverse offering yet from the band. "Oh, it's a rad song, like, it's got a totally different feel than anything we've ever kind of written before, and it's got a real, like, to me almost like a U2-type, like, rousing drum beat chorus," he said. "It's just kind of like another outside of the bubble song for ATREYU on 'Lead Sails Paper Anchor', which, I think the whole record is kind of outside of our bubble. Another weird song that we wrote and we play. We don't even play it that well."

"Slow Burn" follows "Falling Down" and "Becoming the Bull" as singles from "Lead Sails Paper Anchor".

The group issued an expanded version of the album this past April, featuring newly recorded cover songs, 10 videos and profiles of each band member.
