Attila

Attila is a metalcore band from Atlanta, United States, active since 2005. The group works in deathcore, experimental and metalcore, and is a US metalcore band.

History

The band forms in Atlanta in 2005, with members meeting at high school and through mutual friends. Their shared interest in music and partying leads to the band’s formation. The name comes from a book about Attila the Hun that the members find in a bookstore. Over time, the lineup changes, but Chris Fronzak remains a constant member alongside Sean Heenan in the earlier years.

Line-up

The group includes Chris Fronzak, Chris Linck, Kalan Blehm and Bryan McClure. Earlier lineups also include Nate Salameh and Sean Heenan.

Recordings and labels

Attila releases Fallacy and Soundtrack To A Party on Statik Factory Records before moving to Artery Recordings, the fourth imprint on the Artery Foundation/Razor & Tie joint venture. Rage is the band’s Artery Recordings/Razor & Tie debut and appears in 2010. The group’s discography also includes Outlawed (2011), About That Life (2013), Guilty Pleasure (2014) and Chaos (2016).

Tours and style

The band tours full time and, by summer 2010, has spent two years on the road almost continuously. They tour with Arsonists Get All The Girls, See You Next Tuesday, Chelsea Grin, American Me and We Are The End. Their music combines heavy sounds with a party-oriented approach, and the title Rage is presented as having a double meaning: anger and partying.
