 (12 Customer Reviews)
With the release of the SoCal metalcore outfit Atreyu's sophomore album, it's time again to embrace Brandon Saller's galloping kick drum triplets and Alex Varkatzas's throat-shredding guttural lead vocals. THE CURSE expands mightily on the promise and power of their debut, SUICIDE NOTES AND BUTTERFLY KISSES. The loneliness and seclusion of life on the road (SUICIDE NOTES sold nearly a million copies, leading to the inevitable year-long tour and separation from friends and loved ones) here brings forth an explosion of creativity. THE CURSE's opening salvo of "Bleeding Mascara" is closely followed by the morbid imagery of "This Flesh a Tomb", while the headlong metal rush of "You Eclipsed By Me" is best felt, not heard, at full ear-crushing volume. "My Sanity on the Funeral Pyre" again references the results of the band's aforementioned debilitating tour schedule, but when enforced seclusion begets a set of songs this good it's hard to resist the thought that Atreyu's punishing work ethic may not be such a bad thing for their music.
Atreyu: Brandon Saller (vocals, drums); Alex Varkatzas (vocals); Dan Jacobs , Travis Miguel (guitar); Marc McKnight (bass guitar).

Entertainment Weekly (p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[I]t creates true headbanging nirvana. And those guitar solos? Pure awesomeness."
CMJ (p.19) - "[M]elodic, dual-vocal hardcore with classic thrash riffs and supersized breakdowns..." Curse Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Prototype Metalcore
Simply put, this is one of the albums front to back that I own in the metal genre, among over 400. There are lots of metalcore groups out there these days, but Atreyu's melodies can't be beat. There isn't a bad song on this album.

Yeah man Atreyu is where it is at, I like hardcore deathmetal myself, but drift to stuff like a7x, trivium and atreyu, which is mostly nu-metal, everyone is like disgusting metal pretenders, well they go **** themselves, because this cd and the last one are worth listening to, try the new 2006 album too that has a new sound which is kickass!

Cool.
Hey, this is a pretty good CD.... All the songs are pretty cool, once you get used to the odd screaming, you'll find it REALLY kicks a$$. The only thing about it that I didn't like (which doesn't matter now) is how the guy did the screaming. Being an old school metal fan, at first it was hard to digest. But I had the same problem with probably my favorite new band, Shadows Fall, and now I don't even notice it, much less have a problem. Give it more than a listen if you're not one to frequent this genre, because if you keep at least a semi-open mind like I did, you'll find that it IS a good piece of music and it deserves a chance to impress you. That said, all the songs are good, but the first four or five are REALLY happening. Bleeding Mascara is my favorite, the solo in the begining is so cool... I play guitar, and the minute I heard it I started figuring out how to play it. It sounds AWESOME once you learn it. Pick up The Curse, listen to it, and love the awesomness.

 $10.69  
Initial pressings included a bonus DVD featuring live performances and behind-the-scenes footage.
By the time Atreyu's 2002 debut full-length SUICIDE NOTES AND BUTTERFLY KISSES was released, they'd already built a devoted following in their native Orange County, California, with their polished yet punishing brand of metalcore. An EP, FRACTURES IN THE FACADE OF YOUR PORCELAIN BEAUTY, had established the band's sonic blueprint, and Atreyu reworked three songs from the EP to place among the newer material ...

Even though Avenged Sevenfold's first two albums clearly got them lumped into the emo camp, the California quintet always hinted at the heavy metal influence of bands like Iron Maiden. With their major-label debut CITY OF EVIL, not only have they fleshed out these tendencies via the intricate riffing of dual guitarists Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates, but they've begun ...

| | Geordie No Sweat CD (1983) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Curse CD music
$10.45
After watching former singer Brian Johnson strike it rich with AC/DC, '70s relics Geordie speedily re-formed in a blatant but understandable attempt to capitalize. Never mind that nearly a decade had passed since the band's last effort, 1976's Save the World; for most children of the '80s Geordie may as well have been a brand new concern, and 1983's No Sweat gave nothing away by peddling the sort of commercial hard rock that dominated the era. The opening title track does model itself on a suspiciously familiar (if hardly patented) AC/DC riff, but to Geordie's credit, new singer "Doctor" Rob Turnbull's cleaner vocal delivery sounds nothing like Brian Johnson's, being more reminiscent of Saxon's Biff Byford, if anyone. Ensuing first single "This Time" also dispels any worries of an all-out cop-job with its ...

$6.35
Following a pair of label-less releases (a common affliction for Dutch death metal bands who are regularly overshadowed by their Scandinavian neighbors), Detonation were approached and signed by leading French metal label Osmose Productions prior to 2003's An Epic Defiance -- a decent enough, if overly predictable example of their chosen melodic death metal style. For its 2005 follow-up, Portals to Uphobia, the band confirms its intentions to stick to its creative guns, but does so with a significant improvement in songwriting ...
