Atreyu announce album details

Alternative Press - Laila Hanson on 8/3/09 @ 1:08 PM - altpress.com

Atreyu have announced details for the follow-up to 2008's Lead Sails, Paper Anchor. The album will be titled Congregation Of The Damned and will hit stores on October 27. Vocalist Alex Varkatzas had the following to say about the record:

I wrote the line 'congregation of the damned' for one of the songs on the album and it got me thinking, It kind of feels like in a lot of ways that we, as members of a society, are just gathering around and collectively getting fucked over. When you look at what's going on in our economy and how other people treat each other, it's kind of like we're all just lemmings. We're lined up blankly staring blindly at nothing and just going along with the flow like a congregation of the damned. So this record really reflects my thoughts and feelings about that in every possible way.

I hate it when bands talk about the "problems" in the world and say extremely vague comments to try and sound educated.
