A 20th anniversary reissue of Atreyu's 2006 album A Death Grip On Yesterday, their first Top 10 record, with Ex's And Oh's. Out October 30, 2026.
Atreyu's third album debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 in 2006, the band's first Top 10, and "Ex's And Oh's" made it into Madden NFL 07 and Guitar Hero II. Craft Recordings has it back on vinyl for its 20th anniversary.
Josh Abraham co-produced the record, and the band went for something bigger and more melodic than their earlier screamo, with Brandon Saller's clean vocals trading off against Alex Varkatzas' roar. Saller later called it "the first album we made where we took fearless leaps into the unknown".
"Creature" kicks the door in, "The Theft" and "Our Sick Story (Thus Far)" are the deep-cut favourites, and "Ex's And Oh's" remains the one that soundtracked a great many Grade 10 breakups. It even turned up on Jersey Shore, which is more than most metalcore can say.
