Atreyu
最早听到他们的歌是在史密斯夫妇里,翻唱Bon jovi的you give love a bad name,当时觉得很搞笑,把Bon jovi的歌翻唱成这样,同时也佩服他们大胆创新的思想,也被主唱SCREAMO的嗓音给吸引了,但是后来没去调查这个乐队叫什么名字,毕竟我还是喜欢原版的you give love a bad name…
后来在某个WOW的视频上,再次听到了他们熟悉的声音,可惜我忘记那视频叫什么名字了,也忘记那首歌是什么样子.只是记得主唱那嚎叫的嗓子..后来在某个论坛上,再次听到这个嗓子,歌名叫the crimson,没有乐队的名字,我马上去搜索,但是百度和google上的结果不能另我满意,无法知道乐队叫什么名字..最后居然让我在土豆上搜到了,哈哈,而且还知道他们出了一首单曲MV.还知道了这个迷人的嗓子来自一个叫Alex的热血青年(我原以为是长发而且留着长胡子的中年)..
我说下SCREAMO的意思,可以翻译成-情绪尖叫,是金属音乐中表现力很强的演唱方式.在众多的重金属乐队中,我个人觉得Atreyu的嗓音是最个性的,因为很好认,一听就能听得出来.而且比其他screamo更加screamo,所以我诠释为纯种screamo…
除了Alex外,鼓手的嗓音也同样的迷人,清嗓基本是由他来完成,一清一浊,我觉得也是这支乐队表现能力强的地方..
乐队简介:
2001年，Brandon Saller，Dan Jacobs，Chris Thomson，Travis Miguel和Alex Varkatzas五个热爱金属音乐的小伙子在美国加州的Orange County组建了Atreyu乐队。不久，Atreyu依靠娴熟的配合以及硬朗的曲风逐渐在当地小有名气。2001年，乐队在Tribunal厂牌发行了共包含五首歌的EP《Fractures in the Facade of Your Porcelain Beauty》，开始得到了业内人士的关注。随后，Atreyu成功与Victory厂牌签约并在2002年6月发行了首张正式专辑《Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses》，获得了一致好评。
在一轮大范围的巡演之后，Atreyu乐队的人员有了一次小小的变动，新贝斯手Marc McKnight接替了乐队原贝斯手Chris Thomson的位置并开始参与到Atreyu第二张专辑的录制当中。2004年6月，Atreyu乐队发行了第二张录音室专辑《The Curse》，发行首周名列Billboard 200专辑榜第32位。由于反响强烈，Atreyu又在2005年重新发行了《The Curse》专辑附带DVD的限量版本。
2006年，Atreyu乐队事业再上新台阶，不仅为《Underworld: Evolution》的原声大碟创作了一首歌曲，而与亚声调乐队（Deftones）和Thrice乐队合办的Taste of Chaos巡演更是火爆异常。3月28日，Atreyu发行了第三张正式专辑《A Deathgrip on Yesterday》，创纪录的名列Billboard 200专辑榜第九位。

MV
Becoming the Bull
Right side of the bed
The crimson
i feel it welling up inside and Robert Smith lied
boys do cry
and with blood tears in my eyes i’m an Anne Rice novel come to life
i can’t hide the monster any more
one can only feel desolate for so long
until one starts to change into something the mirror doesn’t recognise
i metamorphasize
the darkness has been biding its time to claim its latest victim
fresh meat for carnal desire to become what i became
i viewed the sun for the last time
will you still hold me when you seen what i have done?
will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victims blood?
so crimson and red i feel it flowing from your lips
my heart is dead and so are you
and it pulses through, the desire to chance
to deconstruct all of my past failings
but where to begin because when you live in sin its hard to look at saints
without them reflecting their jet black auras onto you
and all i have is hope
my inner burn’s not fading
i’ll wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day
and all i have i hope
and all i need is time to bury in pine under six feet of time the lies i told about myself
claw my way out
pick the splinters from under my fingernails
i won’t lose hope
i won’t give in
just live and breathe and try not to die again
The Remembrance Ballad
These days are closing in
The end has become apparent
We’re only here for so long
Will anyone remember my name
When time has washed away the dust of our ashes?
When my head rests in a velvet lined casket?
What’s out there?
What is my eternal fate?
It only just recently hit me
That this life is just a state
Mortality fading, like the innocence of love
I’m scared to death of what’s to become
Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame
Will you remember?
Will your heart sing with pain?
Who calls out my name?
Who can tell me what happens
When my eyes close for the last time?
Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness
What of my soul, what of my soul?
All those things you couldn’t say
You should’ve said
All those I-love-you’s lost
Weighed more like lead on your chest
What if I could take back all those misspent days?
Every second of anger, I would wash my sins away
