Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your games
You give love a bad name
You paint that smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A school boy s dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye. I can see her now Dancing around, her drink in hand All her baggage in tow I just want to forget and let go Of all the joy, all of the pain I took your guilt and placed it into me And now I kiss it goodbye Our last dance ended fatall.

Atreyu – The Curse Review
You may or may not remember, or care for that matter. But not too long ago, metalcore was a genre you could get excited about. Before the “scene” became infested with wannabes and shameless hacks, there was actually a strong stable of bands whose music bled with a sense of urgency that seemed to be lacking in a lot of metal. Atreyu was not one of those bands, but they hung around well enough. Their Victory Records debut Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses was a competitive piece of melodic metalcore. I’m not ashamed to admit that I gave that album a considerable amount of rotation, despite its somewhat limp wristed production and unabashedly sappy lyrics. Regardless of all its flaws, its intentions were sincere. And that sincerity finds a way to the surface almost every time.
A lot has changed in the year and a half since the release of Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses. Metalcore’s rise to prominence in the States has led to a nearly complete homogenization of the entire genre. And while this may have spawned a few quality releases, the excitement is almost entirely gone. Unfortunately, Atreyu’s latest release, The Curse does very little to restore my enthusiasm. All the pieces for a “solid” album are there. The production is crisp. The musicianship is tight, and in many cases, superior to Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses. Even Vocalist Alex Varkatzas seems to have sharpened his once almost unbearable vocal approach. It’s all very well done. So what’s the problem? Well, the problem is I can’t walk into Newbury Comics and throw a rock without hitting another album that will affect me in the exact same way as The Curse. Too many times the streamlined approach on this album comes at the expense of the band’s dynamic songwriting and memorable riffing. Many of the tracks are either directly derivative of ideas that have been done to death long ago, or too afraid of their own potential to make any significant imprint on the listener. As a result of their attempts to make a “proper” metalcore album Atreyu essentially corners themselves into producing an extremely forgettable piece of music.
That’s not to say that The Curse isn’t without fair share of moments. The album’s opener “Bleeding Mascara” features some impressive melodic lead work. The band’s trademark clean vocals, delivered expertly by drummer Brandon Saller, sound great. “My Sanity on The Funeral Pyre” is probably the album’s strongest, as it displays the band abandoning the album’s predominant verse-chorus-verse pattern and instead embracing their capabilities rather than shunning them in favor of simplistic song structures. It also features one hell of a simple yet effective guitar solo.
The Curse is by no means a bad album. Fans of modern metalcore will be hard pressed to find a more successful execution of this musical formula. In the end, however, The Curse is little more than just that. It’s well played, but it’s stifled. The band is too aware of the rules by which they play and it results in songs that lack character or any sort of replay value. Atreyu has the talent to write another great album. They just need to throw the rulebook to the wind and embrace what they are truly capable of when they chose to play by their own rules.

Reviews for "Embracing Your Dark Side: Exploring the Shadow Self of the Dame Good Witch"
1. Emily - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Dame Good Witch". The story started off promising, with a unique premise and interesting characters. However, as the plot progressed, it felt like the author was just throwing in random magical elements without any clear direction. The writing itself was also quite sloppy, with numerous grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures. Overall, I found the book to be confusing and frustrating to read.

I couldn't finish "Dame Good Witch" - it just didn't capture my interest at all. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the characters were bland and one-dimensional. The magical aspects of the story were poorly explained, leaving me with more questions than answers. The author seemed to rely heavily on clichés and predictable plot twists, making the story feel uninspired and unoriginal. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a captivating and well-written fantasy novel.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
"Dame Good Witch" had so much potential, but it fell flat for me. The world-building was weak, leaving me struggling to understand the rules and limitations of the magical elements within the story. The protagonist lacked depth and her decisions often seemed illogical. Additionally, the dialogue was cringeworthy and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the characters. I found myself skimming through the pages hoping for some improvement, but unfortunately, it never came. I was left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied with this book.
