Alex Varkatzas (Atreyu)

That's right; that one metalcore band that first broke you into 'heavy music' if you were a teenager in the mid 2000's is still alive and kicking. Coming back from a lengthy hiatus, ATREYU are releasing "Long Live" at long last. Laura had a short chat with frontman Alex, about their fans' reaction to their return, the feeling of returning to a stage, and maximizing their aggressive, 'metal' side on the new record, and him completely dropping clean vocals.
