Brandon Saller

Brandon Kyle Saller was born on June 24, 1983, in Los Angeles, California. His musical career began at the age of 13 when his older brother invited him to join a band with friends Dan Jacobs and Alex Varkatzas. This group, initially known as Retribution, evolved into Atreyu by 1998, adopting a heavier sound. Saller played a crucial role in forming the band and contributing to its musical direction. Early in his career with Atreyu, Saller focused on drumming but gradually expanded his role to include clean vocals, which became an integral part of Atreyu’s sound over time.

Atreyu signed with Victory Records in 2001, releasing three albums: “Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses” (2002), “The Curse” (2004), and “A Death-Grip on Yesterday” (2006). The band later transitioned to Hollywood Records, under which they released “Lead Sails Paper Anchor” (2007) and “Congregation of the Damned” (2009). Following a hiatus, Atreyu reunited in 2014, releasing “Long Live” in 2015. Saller also led his side project, Hell or Highwater, as the lead vocalist, releasing “Begin Again” in 2011 and “The Other Side” EP in 2013, followed by “Vista” in 2017.

A significant turning point in Saller’s career occurred in 2020 when original vocalist Alex Varkatzas departed Atreyu. This led to Saller assuming the primary vocalist role, alongside Porter McKnight, further showcasing his versatility as a musician. Throughout his career, Saller has consistently been involved in songwriting and has demonstrated proficiency across multiple instruments, including drums, vocals, percussion, keyboards, programming, and guitar. His contributions have been central to Atreyu’s continued success and evolution within the music industry.
