Originally named Retribution, they changed their name to “Atreyu” after the character from fantasy book “The Neverending Story.”  The name change came because of a change of members and progressive musical styling. In 1998, Atreyu released an independent seven-track EP, “Visions.” The album was sold at their live performances. Their second release, was a short five-track EP, “Fractures in the Facade of Your Porcelain Beauty,” released by underground label Tribunal Records and featured tracks that would be re-worked for later releases. Atreyu signed with Victory Records in 2001, and their most critically acclaimed works would be to come from these releases.
