Becoming the Bull is the 4th track and first single on Atreyu's 4th album Lead Sails Paper Anchor. It is their 2nd highest-charted single to date on Modern Rock Format (#5 on the Mainstream Rock Chart and #11 on the Modern Rock Chart), surpassing Ex's and Oh's. Additionally, the song was featured in the EA Sports game Madden 08, where it was incorrectly listed as being called "Becoming".[1]
The song has been released by Atreyu in a computer game where players have 20 sound clips and must put them in order in the fastest time. Atreyu made the game a contest where the contestant with the fastest time by August 6, 2007, would win a signed guitar, a phone call from the band, a copy of the CD before it was in stores, and a free membership to Atreyu's exclusive fan club. The top 10 runners-up were given a copy of the CD before it was in stores, and a free membership to Atreyu's exclusive fan club.
Atreyu has since made the single available on their MySpace[2] page.
The band shot the video with acclaimed director Kevin Kerslake.[3] The video was released on MySpace Music on August 16, 2007. The video can be found on YouTube.[4] The song itself was used to promote UFC commercials on Spike.
