This album is not safe for children or Grandmas. These southern outlaws released their newest and fourth album, Outlawed, this past summer. It is their first album that was produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Joey Sturgis. This album is Rage (which you can read my review on that on here as well) Part Two but is much nastier and a hell of a lot better. Attila has continued their partying attitudes and are all about the sex, drugs, and violence.
The drumming is near perfect with a ton of downbeats to keep you moving and dancing. The guitar riffs and solos are nasty with their southern twang. They have also even added more faster paced breakdowns in Outlawed. They have showed that they are versatile and can play more than just basic metal riffs. Lyrically, Outlawed is the same as Rage: it is all about violence, women, booze, and weed. Now on to one of my favorite vocalists and the main reason I listen to Attila, Fronz.
Fronz beasted the vocals on Outlawed and out did himself. Every song vocally sounds different then the next, he has showcased more vocal range on Outlawed then he did on Rage, Soundtrack to a Party, and Fallacy combined. His vocals have improved tenfold, and they will only continue to be getting better. Fronz does not seem to be forcing his vocals as much as what he was on Rage. He also improved greatly on his highs; they are not as whiney as what they use to be. They have created an even better party album than Rage, and possibly the best party album ever; they bring the heat and energy.
I give this album a 9.1/10
