ATREYU frontman Alex Vakatzas has hinted that the band's next album will arrive in the fall. Back in March, AVENGED SEVENFOLD singer M.

"And let me just tell you, first off, we don't have a new record and it's not gonna be good. So definitely don't wait till the fall of this year, because there'll be nothing for you to expect then."
