Atreyu is a Metalcore/Post-Hardcore rock band formed in Orange County, California in 1998.

It consists of vocalist Alex Varkatzas, guitarists Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel, bassist Marc McKnight and drummer and vocalist Brandon Saller.

It is unclear when their debut EP, Visions was released. It was sometime in 1998 or 1999 and was recorded with original bassist Brian O'Donnel. Their second EP, Fractures in the Facade of Your Porcelain Beauty, was released in 2001. Both were released on an underground label named Tribunal Records, owned by Matt Rudzinski of Greensboro, NC.

Atreyu signed with Victory Records, and released their debut album Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses in 2002. It spawned two singles, "Ain't Love Grand" and "Lip Gloss And Black".

Atreyu's second album, also recorded while signed to Victory Records, was The Curse in 2004, with singles released from the album being "Right Side Of The Bed" and "The Crimson".

In 2006 they contributed a track to the soundtrack to Underworld: Evolution and in the same year in March their third album entitled A Death-Grip on Yesterday was released with singles being "Ex's and Oh's", "Shameful", and "The Theft". This album started the bands downhill slope for the band when they decided to take the song "Her Portrait In Black" off the album and only release 9 songs on it.
