Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Long live Atreyu, for the world has seemed a duller place without them and the world of Metal has certainly missed them to the point where other self anointed kings have tried to lead skirmishes and revolutions to take the place in which they hold their fans hearts high.

It might have seemed that the day might never come that the band would ever darken the corners of the genre’s admirers again, the devotees of such Metal enlightenment, of the buff well muscled toned lyrics that swagger and swathe into the limelight and the pounding, yet somehow gloriously subtle, beat that becomes enthuses with creative energy; all this has been missing from the ears until now as Atreyu plan to release their first album in four years, the excellent Long Live.
