'A Death-Grip on Yesterday' is the third studio album by American metalcore band Atreyu. It was released on 28th March 2006 through Victory Records. It debuted at number 9 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
In a musical environment that values style at least as much as substance, many bands embrace one over the other, or attempt to walk a tightrope between excessive showiness and serious, honest song craft. Atreyu have firmly established themselves on the side of solid songwriting, tight arrangements and musicianship with their previous albums, 'Suicide Notes And Butterfly Kisses' and 'The Curse'.
'A Death-Grip on Yesterday' takes their dedication to new heights with great metallic rock songs, mind-boggling guitar runs and the dynamic brutality they are known for. The album was produced in collaboration with Josh Abraham, known for his work with Velvet Revolver, Korn and Staind; it shows off Atreyu's trademark incendiary guitars and soaring choruses with a thunderous rhythm section framing each track. Lyrically, Atreyu comes out swinging, with solid blows against hypocrisy, betrayal and corruption.
