Today,
ATREYU have unveiled their new single, “Children Of Light,” featuring the ex-Sepultura vocalist,
Max Cavalera. The new track is taken from ATREYU’s upcoming album, ‘The End is Not the End,’ set for release on April 24, 2026 via
Spinefarm.
ATREYU explains the reasons behind the track is inspired by a particular Classic metal act:
“‘Children of Light’ was created with a primal spirit in mind. A ‘festival’ song. Heavily inspired by classic Sepultura, though it seemed like an untouchable ask, we wanted Max involved. We’re honored to share this song with a legend.”

‘The End is Not the End’ has been described as “
ATREYU’s heaviest album ever and their most adventurous”, according to a press release. “
We realized what made ATREYU great in the beginning was that we didn’t sound like anyone else,” frontman
Brandon Saller explains.
“We didn’t really make sense anywhere. We weren’t an emo band, a metal band, a punk band — but somehow it all worked. We kind of just carved our own path.” Guitarists Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel, bassist Porter McKnight, drummer Kyle Rosa, and Saller created several of ‘The End is Not the End’s songs on creative trips.
“
Tokyo made us feel like kids again,” Saller says. “We’d write for a few hours in the morning, then go out and get lost in all this inspiration. The first song we finished was ‘Dead,’ and we knew we were onto something.” After the Japanese sessions, the band and their producer left for to
San Juan Island, off the coast of Washington, where isolation inspired their creative juices. “It was the polar opposite of Tokyo. We didn’t leave the house for four days and wrote some of the heaviest songs on the record.”
Produced by Matt Pauling, ATREYU’s tenth album is vibrant, inventive, and aggressive.“It’s our heaviest, most metal record we’ve made,” Saller points out. “But it’s also the biggest musical journey we’ve taken in years.” The album moves between soaring melodies to a more muscular metallic weight, with cinematic overtures and atmosphere, all tied together by a driving, raw intensity. Tracks like “Dead,” “Ghost in Me,” “Children of Light (featuring Max Cavalera),” and “Afterglow” sound both timely and timeless.
