Atreyu Looking To Shred Their Faces On Projekt Revolution

Atreyu are currently enjoying tremendous success with the release of their latest album "Lead Sails Paper Anchor" and now the band will look to ride that momentum on the upcoming Projekt Revolution Tour. Projekt Revolution, which is Linkin Park's brain child returned in 2007 after taking a few years off and 2008's lineup certainly will be bringing a wealth of great music to their fans across North America. Besides Linkin Park and Atreyu, this years lineup will feature sets from The Bravery, Ashes Divide, Chris Cornell as well as 10 Years, Hawthorne Heights, Street Drum Corps and Armor for Sleep on the Revolution Stage.

Video clip :

We caught up with Alex Varkatzas of Atreyu to get his thoughts on being a part of the legendary lineup in 2008 and what fans can expect from the band.

Atreyu On Touring With Legendary Projekt Revolution Lineup

"We're touring with legendary dudes and I don't know, it's awesome. We're going to try to shred our faces everyday and watch amazing bands and do that every single day and in the end sit back and go 'Dude, what happened? That was gravy!' And that's the way it should be."

Projekt Revolution North American dates start July 16th in Mansfield, MA and extend until August 24th in Woodlands, Texas.

lol..... "We're going to try to shred our faces"

Maybe when they wear a little less eyeliner. Atreyu went in the total opposite direction of the successful route.

dan jacobs can't shred.. I've seen him live and he can't even play his own solos properly

[phishfan08]

Too bad this band is horrible and Project Revolution is gonna be just as bad. Crue fest is gonna blow too.
But hey, music is going down the crapper anyway.

[screen21]

LOL

[The Spoon]

Projekt Revolution was fun last year. This year, no band really interests me

[whitebluesboy]

I was really mislead by this article and I thought they were gonna like mutilate themselves on stage like Iggy Pop. LAME.

[Powerpro]

Dan Jacobs can Shred, no doubt he can play. He sure is a little dude though huh. Goes to show you don'thave to have Paul Gilbert Hands to shred.
Oh yeah, Linkin Park blows

[kamjam7]

Projekt Revolution does really suck this year, not that atreyu suck though, they're not that bad. it wouldn't kill them to put in some better punk bands, and even more nu metal. like maybe AFI, good charlotte, and maybe nu-ish metal, like papa roach or something.

anyways i think if they wanted to they could play some good concerts. idk what they mean by legendary guys though, besides linkin park.

Uh, I'm pretty sure the only one in the band who wears eyeliner now is the drummer. I may be wrong, though.

And didn't there used to be a lot of hip-hop on this tour? It's pretty much just rock now.

[arbocalaviv]

OMG LMAO "We're going to try to shred our faces"

[C-C Beatroot]

aww I was hoping the headline was literal

Checked.

[royalrocker311]

Atreyu's older stuff was pretty screamo. And screamo scares me just a bit. :P
But their latest album is actually very good. The first five songs or so are all excellent.

[theocao]

lol yngwie malmsteen is somewhere reading this and laughing his ass off then he forwards it to steve vai.(atreyu shredding).

[metalcore123]

I'll be there in mansfield. cant wait to see atreyu and linkin park.

I would rather see that than watch them try to play music.

[Dimefan69]

When i saw them at taste of chaos they did awesome! Dan Jacobs CAN shred. You can say he cant when you can play everyone of his songs perfect! They put on an awesome concert. I met them too. They're pretty cool. Don't dis them!

[maninzil]

Atreyu can play and PR is probably the best tour of the year.

[iksero]

the tour has chris cornell!! that HAS to count for something.

[deafening]

"legendary lineup"

literally lol

[noodlegts]

You must be joking... Dan Jacobs can't shred?? Go listen to "When two are one..." listen all the way to the end... and THEN tell me he can't shred.

And Atreyu was never screamo... Taking back Sunday is screamo. I think the term you're looking for is "metalcore" (I didn't invent it...). Their newest album is different, yes, but personally I think it's amazing (and yes I do own "The Curse").

[dethskar0]

Who on this tour is "legendary?"

I don't like Lead Sails, Paper Anchor much. They changed their sound too much, a lot of the songs sound the same, and he doesn't scream enough anymore. Oh well. PR is nowhere near the best tour of the year. Gigantour and Rockstar Energy Mayhem. And a lot of people would argue Ozzfest, but I hate Metallica.

[JR2204]

That like, might be like, the dumbest interview that like, Ive ever seen.

[realhorrowshow]

C-C Beatroot :
aww I was hoping the headline was literal

hahaha me too, although i quite like atreyu personally

[Richee]

I wish that line-up came to the UK as well.

Lmao, anyway i used to like Atreyu. Not anymore. Since Lead Sails Paper Anchor they've been going down hill!!

[henza_x]

yeah lead sails paper anchor doesn't show how good dan jacobs can be.

[jetfuel495]

[HeavenlyVirus]

That's not shredding...and they can't shread. When I saw them, he could barely keep up with the tapping intro in Lip Gloss and Black, or the sweeps in Bledding Massacara.

[eujej]

atreyu's new album was a blower... whatever happened to the old atreyu?
gravvvvyyyy

Not screamo, metalcore.

I like there old stuff, the new stuff is okay-ish I suppose.

Saw them earlier this year, they were pretty good actually, although the guitars weren't loud enough. (soundtechs fault)

Pfft no.
Gigantour and Warped Tour own the shit out of this year's Projekt Revolution.
I love Atreyu and all, but that's about it.

i agree with you about the first part but PR the best tour of the year??? no way Mayhem Festival with slipknot and disturbed is the best of this decade
