The self-proclaimed Party-Death Metal boys from Atlanta, Georgia released their third album in May of 2010. It was, however, their first release through Artery Recordings. In order to enjoy their music, you have to have a good sense of humor and a love for life. These southern boys love to party and have fun. The first thing that you will notice about this band is the vocalist Chris Fronzak aka Fronz. I have never heard such a wide range of screaming vocals in my life. He can do the gutturals, the highs, the lows, and he can even rap scream faster than most rappers can rap. His lyrics are all about having fun, getting wasted, and smoking dope. The breakdowns that the guitarist play are your typical breakdowns, but they are still breakdowns and they are not sloppy; you have to love it! You can tell that the drummer is a beast when you listen to their songs that make you nod your head.
Not everyone is going to enjoy these guys, because not everyone is into partying or death metal. I would like to see more versatility in their lyrics and branch out and show more anger like they do in the song Girl's Don't Lie; but I would still love to hear the party hard lyrics. Also, it would have been better if the album was longer than twenty-six minutes.
Their lyrics are something that, for me personally, I can relate to more than any other deathcore or death metal band. These guys do not care what people thing about them or their lyrics as shown in the song Make It Sick: "I don’t give a fuck if you like this song/Is it heavy, is it heavy!?/I don’t give a fuck if you like this song/Is it heavy enough for you?" Attila is not your typical metal band by any means, Fronz knows how to use his vocal range and utilizes it to the maximum level. If you want music to listen to while you are raging, this is the album to rage to.
Songs to check out: Make It Sick, Rage, and Girl's Don't Lie. These catchy songs will be running through your head for hours on end or even days on end.I give this album an 8.6/10
