Metalcore veterans Atreyu have announced that their first album in three years, In Our Wake, will be out on October 12 and they've given us two tastes of what to expect with a very trippy music video for the title track and another song called 'Anger Left Behind'. You can check out both below!
Explaining the meaning behind the music video, bassist Porter McKnight said:
"Most of our videos have been story-based or life-based. But with this, we just wanted the subtle thread of humanity’s growth and decline. It starts with water, then earth, nature, cityscapes, then slowly decaying humanity. We have a choice as a species to start giving a shit about ourselves and the world around us, and what we choose to make of this life.
We wanted to leave the viewer with a feeling of 'What the fuck did I just watch!?' and then play it again to deduce what went down."
Vocalist Alex Varkatzas echoed the statements:
"It's a deep one. We looked up to Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington and their deaths were fresh during the writing process. It made us think of what we'll leave in our wake. We have a choice to change the lives of others for the better."
Atreyu's last album Long Live came out in 2015 and was the first release after they took a hiatus in 2011.
