Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses by Atreyu

Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses is the debut album by American metalcore band Atreyu, released on June 4, 2002, under Victory Records. The album featured re-worked versions of the songs "Living Each Day Like You're Already Dead," "Someone's Standing on My Chest" and "Tulips are Better", which originally appeared on the band's 2001 EP, Fractures in the Facade of Your Porcelain Beauty. "Ain't Love Grand" and "Lip Gloss and Black" were released as singles and music videos were also made for these two songs. The latter video found significant airplay on Headbangers Ball and Uranium in fall 2003. The album has sold more than 240,000 copies worldwide (according to March, 2006 Nielsen SoundScan data) and continues to rise. It's the only album to feature bassist Chris Thomson. The album was originally to be released under the title of "The Death Rock Diaries". The album name change simply came from the band liking Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses more as a title.
