Atreyu - Lead Sails Paper Anchor
Since they muscled their way onto the Orange County metal scene in 1998, Atreyu have sold over a million albums by constantly challenging themselves and their audiences with charged music and acrobatic performances that both have pushed the boundaries of catharsis and emotional exorcism.
But even those who have grown used to the unexpected from Atreyu will be blown away by the musical growth, determination and depth of the band's Hollywood Records debut Lead Sails Paper Anchor.

Atreyu have since made the single available on their MySpace page.
The band shot the video with acclaimed director Kevin Kerslake. The video was released on MySpace Music on August 16th, 2007. The video can be found on YouTube. The song itself was used to promote UFC commercials on Spike
