Atreyu has announced the release of The Pronoia Sessions, which includes a collection of eight reimagined greatest hits and two tribute covers. The album is slated for streaming release on October 25th while hard copies will come on November 8th. To coincide with the announcement of the new album comes one of the tribute covers… Audioslave’s hit single “Like A Stone.” The decision to cover Audioslave came from a place of love and respect with the band saying:
“The covers on this album presented us with the opportunity to take some of our favorites and make them our own. The album has an overarching, somber feel. We wanted songs that would stay in that realm. ‘Like A Stone’ is one of the most iconic rock songs of our time. Chris Cornell’s vocal is a treasure. We hope to have done right by his legacy.”
The band released a statement saying:
“This album, to us, was something that initially came from the fans. During COVID, we started toying around with doing acoustic performances for the first time in our career. Since the release of ‘Gone (Reimagined)’, the outpouring of love and interest from our fans was overwhelming. It got us thinking…what if we didn’t just make some of our classics acoustic, what if we took them to a whole new place? We feel with this album we have carved out a new home for these songs to stand on their own. They are new entities in our musical landscape. Making this album brought us such a sense of joy and creativity. It was as if the universe handed us this moment and it was meant to happen…hence, ‘The Pronoia Sessions’.”
