Attila
with Chelsea Grin, Emmure, Sylar
You know you want this. Its been far too long since a heavy metal band could get the party started the way Attila can. Drinks will be pounded down, blunts will be blown, panties will be thrown, and everyone will have the time of their lives once the Atlanta quintets sixth full-length album, Guilty Pleasure [Artery Recordings/Razor & Tie], pipes through the speakers. Hell, you dont even have to admit you love ithence the titlebut we know you will (or at least your girlfriend will)...2013 became a landmark year for the groupChris DzFronzdz Fronzak [lead vocals], Chris Linck [guitar], Nate Salameh [guitar], Kalan Blehm [bass guitar, backing vocals], and Sean Heenan [drums]. Their fifth offering, About That Life, snatched #22 on the Billboard Top 200, #5 on the Independent Chart, #4 on the Hard Music Chart, and #5 on the Rock Chart, moving over 14,200 copies first week. In the midst of sold out headline shows around the States, the band began working on what would become Guilty Pleasure at the end of the year. This time around, Fronz possessed a clear vision that included embracing seven-string guitars, adopting lower tunings, and nodding to turn-of-the-century classics from Slipknot, Korn, and Limp Bizkit. DzWere never going to write the same album twice,dz he declares. DzWere always going to maintain our sound and style, but we bring something new to the table for our fans to keep it fresh and interesting. Lyrically, I expanded. Its not all about partying and being crazy. I touched on some real shit. I dropped some knowledge. I wanted to be more real because I owe it to our audience. The songs are more meaningful.dzOnce again, the boys retreated to the studio with Joey Sturgis [Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men] in Michigan. Together, they amped up everything across the board. DzIts a heavier and more fun Attila,dz smiles Fronz. DzIts rap metal at its finest. There are elements from our older albums as well as new flavors.dzThats apparent on the first single DzProving Groundsdz. The guys ignite an atomic hook bolstered by succinct riffing and a percussive slam. DzProving Grounds are areas that the government would test nuclear and atomic bombs,dz he goes on. DzAnyone can relate to this because we all have doubters. You have to take that doubt and leverage it do better. Proving people wrong is the ultimate satisfaction.dzOn DzRebeldz, Fronz spits incendiary bars over a barrage of chugging jackhammer guitars. Everything culminates on an anthemic refrain thats equally ballsy and blistering. DzIts about being yourself, doing what you love, and not giving a fuck about what authorities, parents, or people tell you that youre supposed to do,dz he proclaims. DzThats an important message. You cant always live by the rules. If you really want to do something, you just have to do it. I want to encourage kids to use their ambition and do what they love.dzThen, theres DzHorsepigdz. Boasting brash delivery and another sizable groove, its a special one for Fronz as it proved to be a family affair. DzMy three-year-old son actually named that song,dz he admits. DzOne day, I showed him a flashcard of a warthog. He knew what it was, but he wanted to change the name to Horsepig since a warthog looks like a horse and a pig. Later that day, we wrote the song, and I had to use the word he invented for its title.dzAlong the way, Attila have turned Dzparty metaldz into a bona fide art form. Formed in 2005, theyve continually clawed their way towards heavy music domination. In addition to being a headliner on Warped Tour 2014 and touring alongside everybody from Suicide Silence to Asking Alexandria and Memphis Mayfire, these mayhem mavens have sold over 131,000 records to date. Theyre preaching a new kind of gospel too...DzOur generation is killing rock n roll by writing all of this pussy-ass music,dz he leaves off. DzThis kind of music is about breaking the rules and pushing the limits. Thats what Attila has done and we will continue to do. Were breaking rules. We dont give a fuck if people like us or not. Were doing what we love and having the time of our loves. The world needs that. Were happy to be your outlet. Have a fucking blast. Were your Guilty Pleasure".
