ATREYU Unleashes New Single "Ego Death"

Today, following the success of their recent single "Dead," ATREYU return with "Ego Death," a bruising but cathartic new track that digs into the idea of shedding who you were to become who you're meant to be. Built on crushing riffs, a surging groove, and a massive, melodic hook, the song balances the band's heaviest instincts with one of their most emotionally resonant choruses to date. As the band puts it, "Sometimes a piece of you has to die in order for you to truly live. 'Ego Death' is peace."
ATREYU's riffs, hooks, melodies, and relentless energy remain a driving force in heavy music, with over a billion streams worldwide and a fanbase that keeps growing. The Southern California band recently wrapped a triumphant co-headlining U.S. run and tore through massive festivals like Download, Hellfest, Welcome to Rockville, and Inkcarceration.
Since forming around the turn of the millennium, ATREYU have pushed well beyond their DIY roots-earning multiple RIAA Gold records, Top 20 Billboard 200 debuts, and spots on major film and video-game soundtracks. Their latest album, 'The Beautiful Dark of Life' (2023, Spinefarm), debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard's Top Hard Rock Albums and has already racked up over 75 million streams, with singles like "Gone" and "Watch Me Burn" lighting up rock radio and flagship playlists like Spotify's "Volume" and Apple Music's "The Riff."
