DEAD ICARUS - Sellout - ex Atreyu + Enterprise Earth (official music video)

[@SmokingBarrels88]

Alex is a true metalhead man. He stayed loyal to the genre and made an entirely better band. Nothing but respect for this band.

[@SINE382]

It’s very clear who was the writing force behind classic Atreyu. Glad we got Alex back making music, metalcore has been missing his voice.

[@IAmProbablyWrong]

"You guys don't want to make hardcore music anymore? Fine, I'll do it myself." - Alex

[@deadicarusmusic]

🤠

[@xmenwolverineX]

nailed it haha I honestly thought after long live then in our wake they might take turns on the sound but i guess I was wrong ha worked out better in the end I dont think Atreyu would ever have put out a song this heavy and it's so damn good.

[@catsandalcohol99]

​@@xmenwolverineXFacts. "In Our Wake" felt like it has less and less Alex. I thought that he was pushed out by Brandon and it felt so obvious.

[@LeVraiBabaYaga]

@@catsandalcohol99 Atreyu went the "Alexisonfire" and "Blink 182" way. Some PR bullshitter said to Saller "you know, atreyu would be nothing without you!!" annnnnd he believed it.

[@DanielConvalescence]

Best thing that could of happened.

[@xCaliKid96]

I’m sorry to say this but Atreyu died when Alex left the band. This song represents what Atreyu was supposed to evolve into but unfortunately they went a different route.

[@steffenguttler4414]

Totally agree 👍 It sounds more like old school Atreyu than Atreyu sounds themselves after Alex left. Future is bright if Dead Icarus continue that way

[@xCaliKid96]

@@steffenguttler4414 hopefully Dead Icarus stays consistent on dropping music. Really excited for what’s to come!

[@zacharylopez8362]

Eh this reminds me more of Lead Sails era. Lyrics lack depth. Atreyu died after Death-Grip lol

[@stephaniephilbeck8611]

Yeah I haven't listened to a single song from Atreyu since Alex left

[@ReprogrammedToHate]

Atreyu was already long gone even when Alex was still in the band. Long Live was an amazing return to form though

[@kylekuzminski2207]

Welcome back old friend, we all missed you!

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thanks for the support

[@Dylan-cu4ty]

Atreyu was the first metalcore band I got into at the age of 13, Im 30 now. When Alex left, I knew my time with Atreyu was done. I haven't looked back. This single brought a smile to my face, gives us more Alex 🤘

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thank you

[@anna-marieblack9466]

I was in grade 6 i think, my cousin lent me all his atreyu cds when i went to a pow wow on Manitoulin island, the whole way there , during and back! I listened to atreyu! Such a good memory for me! ❤️ Love your music alex! Even your comic book page and art page!

[@anna-marieblack9466]

And im 28 so like i was around 15 years old! I waited forever for this❤️🤣

[@Cpt_RB]

This is my journey with atreyu man. Absolute favorite band for almost 20 years, and Alex was the heart and soul of atreyu. Hearing new stuff from him brought me back and I love it

[@eliterpgadventures5116]

Same her3 man. Age and all

[@PaganChainsaw]

Gives me those 2000's vibes, how i missed those 🎉

[@deadicarusmusic]

The good ole days of metalcore hahaha

[@TheMedicinalMan]

I was 12 when Suicide Notes & Butterfly Kisses released and graced my ears, hearing those unique mid-high growls was a punch of nostalgia that made me so happy. I love the familiarity that Alex wove into this for us while spreading his wings to do what he was kept from doing for so long ♥️

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thanks for saying that

[@justingoose17]

​@@deadicarusmusicyou're awesome man

Knocked it out of the park is an understatement. We missed you dude.

This. This is what I’ve been missing since Death Grip. Thank you Alex!

[@shncrz]

This song is on repeat for me. Miss you Alex!

[@deadicarusmusic]

Awesome

[@theAshesofDecember1]

For the uninitiated, the video clips are from the very classic, “carnival of souls” and “house on haunted hill,” with just a dash of “dr jekyl and mr Hyde.”

[@deadicarusmusic]

💀💀💀

[@jordantaurino]

I feel a heavy weight lifting after impatiently sitting around waiting for Alex's resurgence! This is sooo good and soo worth it. I want more! ❤

[@deadicarusmusic]

🖤🖤🖤

[@nicks.570]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep going!!!!!!!

[@deadicarusmusic]

DEAL

[@monkyboy550]

I can see why you've been excited about this project. The music and the music video style seem so well aligned with your creativity. I see so much of your art inspiration (at least what I know about it) in this video. It must feel like a breath of fresh air to finally have this out in the world. I look forward to hearing more from Dead Icarus and seeing y'all on tour.

[@deadicarusmusic]

Glad you enjoy it

[@cakeisbetterthenfish]

Ive missed the vampires vibes in your music. glad to see it back.

[@deadicarusmusic]

Can’t go wrong with bats and castles and horror

[@bdubthomen]

We needed this, thank you Alex for not disappointing at all! Welcome Back!

[@deadicarusmusic]

We need each other 💪🤠

[@CrimsonxTitan]

So worth the wait

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thank you

[@O-H-I-O]

Alex Varkatzas is by far my favorite Metalcore vocalist of all time!!! Who still jams out to "Lip Gloss And Black" and "Her Portrait in Black?"

[@xmenwolverineX]

It's amazing ive followed your artistic journey since 2005 this is but another great step in that journey.

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thank you

[@blastfiendsunite420]

Love you Ektor 😉 you were my hero growing up!

[@camr8079]

Glad to see Alex back with such a powerhouse of a song! Love it! I'm a firm believer that there is no Atreyu without Alex, their last album proved that. The edge was missing, Alex was that edge. Can't wait to hear more, brother!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thanks for the support

[@DanielJTeichroew]

The wait for Dead Icarus music was definitely worth it, can't wait to hear more!

[@deadicarusmusic]

Awesome of you to say, thank you.

[@Desii0808]

PHENOMENAL. So glad that Alex is making badass music again. His voice is unmatched. 🖤

[@deadicarusmusic]

Getting good at trying not to suck. Thank you

[@brannyflakes]

Thank you so much for this. I knew Alex still had pipes. I'm so glad the passion is still there. Can't wait for the album+tour, I'll be at any show I can be!

Definitely giving me old shool Atreyu vibes. Love it! 🔥🔥🔥

[@kylebrett4125]

I am glad Alex is still making music. I don’t listen to Atreyu anymore, at least not albums without him. Looking forward to hearing more Dead Icarus.

[@xmenwolverineX]

Same. I did kinda maybe pirate that live covid thing they did just to see how they covered Alex's part and it wasn't good.

[@kcomeaux2]

So happy i could cry. And not just for this amazing music, but man, so happy for Alex! Live your truth dude and keep making sick music. I support you 100%!!!!

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thanks so much!!

[@NofearMan86]

All the comments are spot on. This is the way! Listening to the new Atreyu and this song back to back. There isn't any comparison between the two. It's sad that a band that I used to love so much sounds so different, and this, this sounds exactly what I fell in love with many many moons ago. Hoping Dead Icarus puts out more music. I am behind this!!!

[@user-pv9js1dv2s]

Yeeeeesss! So good to hear Alex scream. I am happy this morning.

[@deadicarusmusic]

🖤❤️🖤

[@AECommonThread2137]

You got some dope Jens Kidman nostalgia around 0:48 and dropping bars. I think what youre doing is so fucking cool and a beautiful way to express these times in life - even if times are what they are, your choice to bloom out of the mess and make art is beautiful. It hits me deep because i have a similar call to start putting out some tracks and ive been warming up my vocals, screams, guitar, and built a functional studio around my work office. Its been a gradual process, but Im always building up more steam and energy like i feel you captured in this track so far. Love it, man.. the people support this 🔥.

[@AECommonThread2137]

And yes, you could say some James Hetfield at that same time stamp, but i heard meshuggah first.

[@traciortiz2535]

This is the music I was missing in my life!! Thank you for being true to yourself 💜

[@deadicarusmusic]

Just finding my path 💪🖤

[@xmenwolverineX]

no joke man new silverstein sounds more like atreyu than atreyu does thankfully they still pump out albums. this one was worth the wait.

[@dee11unnoticed]

I'm digging this new band. 😎 Can't wait to hear more!!

[@HappyPurpleNoob]

!! This song is insaneeee ! ! ! I can't wait to hear more but for now it's this one on repeat damnnnn tunes

[@deadicarusmusic]

💪🖤

[@Los4rmLos]

Not sure it's what you want to hear Alex but you ARE Atreyu! I love this new song. I was so bummed when you left and for years wondered if you'd ever come back. If not to Atreyu, at least something like this. So glad that you're back! Can't wait to see what's next!

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thank you

[@robjohnsonmusicandgaming]

Finally, we get the content we've been waiting years for. No one makes music like Alex Varkatzas. I finally have metal to look forward to again! Atreyu looks very fake heavy now, for sure. To all of you who are here, you've taken the right path for amazing music that has more heart than anything else on the market.

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thanks for the support

Atreyu was my favorite band up to Lead Sails. I can't listen to them anymore, and hearing this feels like a missing piece finally being placed. Thank you Alex you're killing it 🤘

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thank you

[@toothgrinder2760]

Ditto. Lead Sails was my last Atreyu album. Dead Icarus is what Atreyu should be.

Thanks for supporting DI

[@mikeschmit897]

Alex!!!!! Let’s go! I’m so stoked for this project!

[@deadicarusmusic]

Right on us too

[@jessehutchings]

I'm also looking forward to hearing Alex's vocal hooks and choruses now that it's all him. I'm really digging the intermixing of everything from growls and screams to cleans. Wonderfully balanced singing with lots of punch. Pulling off our beloved metalcore vampire man with class.

[@deadicarusmusic]

Thank you

[@ReprogrammedToHate]

Was looking forward to this project for many years but didn't know what to expect. I wasn't informed that this project includes the boys from Enterprise Earth, i mean that solo and that drumming! Glad to know Varkatzas aligned with the correct people.

[@deadicarusmusic]

Gabe and Brandon are RIPPERS !

[@modernmetalheadcoversanded3238]

I had a feeling that it had the Enterprise Earth guitar player in it because of the double drop b in the breakdown and solo because it reminded me of Enterprise Earth when I heard it. This is technically a Deathcore collab since he did the guitar work and being part of dead Icarus as a whole. I already know Dead Icarus is going to be another one of the most heaviest bands ever

[@sethjenkins9263]

So excited you are continuing on with music Alex !!! Can’t wait to hear more. Atreyu was my favourite band since I was a teenager. My email was incorporated into it lol. Unfortunately since the split I completely unfollowed everything. It’s not the same. I know people change, grow apart and this happens frequently in the entertainment industry. I wish it where more amicable. I’m just thrilled I can continue to listen to your voice and music Alex !

[@deadicarusmusic]

Sometimes things just shake out how they do. All we can do is pickup what’s left and keep rocking

[@2sicksasmr210]

After the curse this is definitely how atreyu should have continued.. now there like some weird rock band even more after Alex left, but him leaving was definitely a gift to us OG fans

Atreyu is stronger then ever. Not dead. Brandon is now doing lead vocals. Can't wait to hear dead Icarus. Hope we get an atreyu collab with dead Icarus because it would feel like an atreyu song in the style of the older stuff

[@steffenguttler4414]

​@@modernmetalheadcoversanded3238For sure Atreyu is still doing well. But it's not what I once felt in love with anymore. That's my point. From "Visions" up to "Long Live" everything is fine. After that I lost the connection even if Alex still was featured on "In our wake". This song here brings back the old vibe I was missing with the latest Atreyu releases. So yeah...for me Atreyu is dead...even though the old stuff still kicks ass

[@modernmetalheadcoversanded3238]

@@steffenguttler4414 I'm hoping that Brandon saller and Dan Jacobs will feature in a dead Icarus song. It would definitely bring back the old atreyu sound and it would feel like an old atreyu song just like this one feels like the old atreyu. Also Alex doing Low screams is something I've always wanted to hear I never thought he would scream like that and it was just pure amazing
