If you were left heartbroken in 2011 when Atreyu announced they were going their separate ways, then the news in 2014 that they were reforming and recording new music must have felt amazing. For me, I had not really given Atreyu the time they deserved before their hiatus and their reformation passed me by. In fact the first time I'd really given these guys the time of day was at Reading Festival a few weeks ago.

That day they made me stand up (well I was already stood up, but you get what I mean) and take notice. It's hard enough to make new fans for the first time live, but doing it at a festival where people are drunk, tired and drunk is even harder. After that show I decided to give their back catalogue a listen and shortly after starting that, Long Live dropped into the Mind Noise Network inbox.

Long Live is the band's sixth studio album, coming thirteen years after their debut and six years since album number five. What has that gap done for the band? Well, from my experience it has enhanced and perfected their sound. A prime example of this is Do You Know Who You Are, a slower track with a 'We Will Rock You' vibe, bringing an element of Sevendust to the clean vocals and showing just how the band have developed over the years. It's recorded to perfection, without losing what it is that makes Atreyu...Atreyu.
