Celebrating 20 + 1 Year Anniversary of ‘The Curse’
Today, ATREYU are proud to share the striking new music video for their single “Dead,” a powerful visual companion to their first release in over two years. Known for their signature blend of crushing riffs, soaring melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics, ATREYU continue to push the boundaries of metalcore while staying true to the sound that has earned them a devoted global following.
Recorded by Matthew Pauling, “Dead” captures the band’s relentless energy and musical evolution, offering both longtime fans and new listeners a vivid glimpse into the next chapter of their career. The video was directed, filmed, edited and produced by Sean Stiegemeier
On the new video for “Dead,” ATREYU shares:
“‘Dead’ lyrically is about a very real and very dark question. It was important for us for the video to match that energy. This video may be sensitive to some but to us it was important to match the reality and the gravity of what ‘Dead’ is about.”
In addition to the release of their new music video for “Dead,” ATREYU are currently on tour, celebrating the 20 + 1 year anniversary of their landmark 2004 album ‘The Curse.’ For the full list of dates, please see below.
A true breakthrough moment for the band, ‘The Curse’ delivered staples like “Bleeding Mascara,” “Right Side of the Bed,” and “The Crimson,” songs that helped cement ATREYU as one of the defining forces in the mid-2000s metalcore scene.
