ATREYU has released a music video for the song “God/Devil”. The track is taken from the band’s latest EP, “The Hope Of A Spark”, which came out on April 14 via Spinefarm. The clip was directed by ATREYU bassist Marc “Porter” McKnight. “God/Devil” laments a loss of identity, self and faith, a desperate cry for help from a higher power when the greatest power is already within.
“‘God/Devil’ represents the intense feeling of hopelessness that leaves us as humans feeling so helpless and scared that we reach for anything that will help us alleviate the pain/sadness we are going through,” said ATREYU. “When life shows its saddest darkest side, we desperately reach for anything we can grasp to help us, and ‘God/Devil’ is the audible version of that.”
The four-track EP embodies everything that ATREYU has come to be, to mean, to represent, marking the beginning of the next chapter in the band’s story, with assorted pieces of an expansive puzzle still taking shape, form, and focus.
Produced by longtime collaborator John Feldmann, the new music explores reflection and rumination on the pressures, pleasures, and pains of modern life with each track representing a snapshot of deeply personal lived and shared experiences.
