Attila is slated to release their Artery Recordings /Razor & Tie debut, Rage, on May 11th. The band, made up of Fronz (vocals), Nate (guitar), Chris (guitar), Sean (drums) and Paul (bass) is the fourth addition to the Artery/Razor & Tie joint venture. A self-proclaimed "party death metal" band, Attila and Rage are sure to spark interest and energy amongst the metal scene.Coming from Atlanta, the members of Attila were influenced by a wide and eclectic range of artists from dirty south rappers to assorted metal bands. Their new album showcases the impression the Atlanta music scene left with the band. When speaking on the meaning behind Rage, lead singer Fronz stated, "The title can be perceived in many ways, one obviously being a state of extreme anger, and the other being is its more obvious slang meaning – to party! I have always been a fan of play-on-words and double meanings, and that's what drew me to this title more than anything."
The party metal band hails from Atlanta, but have spent the past two years touring full time. After wrapping up a four week tour in Europe, Attila is jumping right into a summer long US tour with Drop Dead, Gorgeous starting April 8th. Despite the toll of constantly being on the road, Fronz said, "We are all enjoying the touring lifestyle, and we are looking forward to constantly progressing and participating in bigger tours."
