On the same day Atreyu released their new album Baptize, ex-Atreyu vocalist Alex Varkatzas announced his new band Dead Icarus. No music is yet available from the band, but I'd imagine we'll hear something soon enough. As of right now, the relationship between Varkatzas and his former bandmates doesn't seem...

In what is surely not a coincidence, Alex Varkatzas, former screamer for Atreyu, has announced that he’s launching a new band, Dead Icarus… on the same day that Atreyu release Baptize, their first album without him.

Yesterday (7th), Mors Principium Est stated without much detail revealing guitarist Andy Gillion is no longer with the band. The split doesn’t appear to be amicable, as there are definitely two sides to what went down leading to his removal. Shortly after the group’s public statement, Gillion shared his side of the story, which stems back to last summer before releasing the group’s latest effort, Seven. Vocalist Ville Viljanen has updated his initial statement on the band’s page, adding more to his viewpoint.
