LOS ANGELES, CA
– ATREYU’s Lead Sails Paper
Anchor rocketed onto Billboard’s
Top 200 this week at No. 8, and Billboard’s Rock and Hard Rock Album
charts at No. 1, making it the highest-charting album of the band’s
career. The debut is also significant in that Atreyu distinguish themselves as
one among a very short list of hard rock acts to have debuted in the Top 10
this year.
News of the album’s explosive
arrival follows a flurry of headline-making moves for Atreyu, who were recently
named as a headliner on one of the biggest tours of the new year: “Rockstar
Taste of Chaos Tour.†That announcement comes on the heels of the Family
Values Tour, which saw Atreyu play third on the bill and share stages
alongside Korn and
Evanescence. Atreyu will launch a headlining tour on September 9th at the Big
Easy in Boise, ID
with openers Haste The Day, It Dies Today and So They Say.
Lead Sails Paper Anchor has been drawing rave reviews from media
outlets around the world, including Metal
Hammer, who called the disc “a truly landmark album.†Kerrang! gave the record 4 K’s and Blender gave it 3 = stars and called it “metal
that takes you to a magical bygone era.†Revolver awarded the album 4 stars and praised it for flowing “beautifully
through the speakers†and for being “a coffin-tight collection of
singles.â€
Among those singles is propulsive lead track “Becoming The Bull,†which is featured in
EA Sports mega-popular new Madden ‘08 video
game. The band and director Kevin Kerslake (Green Day, Nirvana, Smashing
Pumpkins) shot a video for the song, which was recently added at MTV2.
Dates, venues and other bands on the “Rockstar Taste of Chaosâ€
2008 tour will be released soon. Vous n'êtes pas obligés de me croire... mais faites comme si...
