\"\"If there was a chill in the spring London air, the sold-out Underworld couldn\u2019t feel it. After four years of an indefinite and nail-biting hiatus for their fans, Atreyu<\/b> have returned to revive their signature heart-stopping live shows in the sweatiest venue in London.<\/figure>\n

Birmingham bruisers Shvpes<\/strong> set the tense scene for the evening, firing up the crowd with an energetic call to arms. With air-punching melodies and razor-sharp basslines, the scene\u2019s up and coming boys have proved their rightful place on the bill. (3\/5)<\/p>\n

As if they never left, Atreyu<\/strong> take to the stage with a storming opening into the anthemic \u2018Doomsday\u2019<\/em>. Immediately evident are the four years of absence, which have only perfected their ability to produce the incredible harmony of close friends standing side by side. Brandon Saller\u2019s immortal cleans burst through the contagious \u2018Right Side Of The Bed\u2019<\/em> while frontman Alex Varkatzas swiftly loses his shirt to the room\u2019s rocketing temperature. An energetic rendition of \u2018Blow\u2019<\/em> ironically raises the roof of the cramped venue, producing rapturous crowd chants this band have waited years to see again.<\/p>\n

\u2018So Others May Live\u2019<\/em>, the teaser track for their September release \u2018Long Live\u2019<\/em>, draws a surprisingly harmonic response from the crowd, proving their long-anticipated return has left fans pleading for new material, and it has definitely not disappointed. For a band whose energised, driven live performance is a core component of their existence, Atreyu<\/strong> haven\u2019t lost an iota of their spark. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a clear bond between old and new fans throughout classic \u2018Bleeding Mascara\u2019<\/em> as shredder Dan Jacobs takes the helm for a face-melting solo. Testament to their longevity and musicianship, each song conveys as perfectly as on record, with every atom of energy and dedication thrown behind every chord and every scream.<\/p>\n

The only let-down of the night lies in the length of their set. Despite playing 14 of their biggest and best anthems spanning their career, it still felt as if there was something missing. A cover such as their traditional \u2018You Give Love A Bad Name\u2019<\/em> wouldn\u2019t have gone amiss, but instead the night closes on the timeless riffs of \u2018Lip Gloss And Black\u2019<\/em>, transporting the crowd back to the simpler musical days of 2002.<\/p>\n

Atreyu<\/strong> never left, not really. By becoming less accessible, they\u2019ve given themselves an invaluable opportunity to recharge their batteries and simultaneously revitalise their fanbase, and their Underworld return to the UK justified every second of their absence. (4.5\/5)<\/p>\n
