(1) A metal band from Atlanta, GA.
(2) A traditional heavy metal band from New York City formed in 1983.
(3) A Dutch power/speed metal band formed in 1983.

(1) Party metal rockers Attila formed in their hometown of Atlanta in 2005, meeting each other at their high school and through mutual friends. Their mutual love of music (and partying) brought the guys together to form what would eventually become the fourth imprint on the Artery Foundation/Razor & Tie joint venture, Artery Recordings.
When the guys set out to name their newly formed band, they knew they were looking for a simple, one word name that didn’t imply the typical death metal cliché terms such as “blood, dying, and darkness.” One day they found themselves in a bookstore passing around a book about Attila the Hun, and so Attila was born.
Over the years Attila has gone through a few lineup changes, but founding members Fronz and Sean have remained a constant staple. For the past two years, the band has consisted of Fronz (vocals), Nate (guitar), Chris (guitar), Sean (drums) and Chris (bass). This lineup really brought together Attila’s sound and image that they are known for today. The band began touring full time and as of summer 2010, has been on the road almost non-stop for two years.
Attila released two prior albums, Fallacy and Soundtrack To A Party, on Statik Factory Records, and have previously toured with Arsonists Get All The Girls, See You Next Tuesday, Chelsea Grin, American Me, and We Are The End. RAGE, Attila’s Artery Recording/Razor & Tie debut was released on May 11, 2010, and is a unique mix of heavy music infused with elements that make each song fun to listen to and put the listener in the mood to party. “The title can be perceived in many ways, one obviously being a state of extreme anger, and the other being the 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,” Fronz commented.
While Attila certainly evokes thoughts of partying, the band is trying to expand the public’s immediate thoughts about party metalcore through RAGE. They describe the album and their overall take on music as a way of letting loose and having fun, and allowing the listener to take away that message in whatever context they find fitting. As Fronz said, “All we want is for the listener to have a fun experience, and that is the main message behind RAGE.”

(3) Attila was a power/speed metal band formed in 1983 in Amersfoort, Utrecht Province, Netherlands. They released two demos, two EPs, and two full-length albums titled Triad (1989) and Attila (1990).
(4) Attila was also the name of a band featuring a young Billy Joel. Billy was a member of a band called the Hassles; he and the drummer, Jon Small, broke away from the Hassles and formed this duo. The instrumentation was mostly organ and drums, with Billy Joel also handling the bass lines with a keyboard. Their creative partnership ended when Joel allegedly ran off with Small's wife.
They released only one album, "Attila," in 1970, later reissued by CBS in 1985. Attila is often selected by critics and other music journalists as one of the worst rock albums of all time; however, although it's not an easily accessible album, its unique jazz-metal fusion has become a cult favorite amongst Joel's fans. One track from the album, "Amplifier Fire, Part 1 (Godzilla)," appears on Joel's 2005 boxed set "My Lives."
(6) Attila (Davide Musca, 1986) is one of Italy's most important and active voices of the italian dancehall and reggae. Musically he grew up in salento, Italy's most important reggae scene, but when he was 17 he moved to Milan so he could try and make his dream come true: make his voice known through all the most important soundsystems in Europe.
He became known as Pupiddhru thanks to his skills as an MC and a freestyler, but it when he started winning contests he changed his name to Attila. In 2009 he met Mighty Cez and a winning combination was born: they released “The EP” that contained to big hits, “Promises” and “Oh Mamma Mia!”.
Thanks to those singles they got to go around Europe and play with big name sound systems like Pow Pow, Heavy Hammer, Sentinel and Kalibandulu; but the reggae scene wasn't the only one to notice them. The italian hip-hop world started to get interested and Attila became part of the Roccia Music collective, founded by none other than Shablo and italian rapstar Marracash. He collaborated with Marracash on the very popular “Genesi” mixtape and with one of Italy's top producer's Deleterio on his album “Dadaismo”; he also released an EP called “#CULO” with italian duo Ackeejuice Rockers.
Attila sound is the sum of three things: the reggae traditions, the power of dancehall and hip-hop rhythms. In his frst album, “You Neva Know Me”, these three elements really come through; with it's 16 tracks, all produced by Mighty Cez, it sure to make a big impact on the reggae scene and maybe not only that.
“You Neva Know Me” e\was released on February 24, 2015.
About That Life
Attila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuck church, hit a bong, then go smash a fucking bottle
Got a few sluts to help me roll a few blunts
And they never question me cause they know I hate cunts
Oh
Eat my words and swallow my sentences
Here we go you fucking asshole
Living off the dirt on my shoes, does it keep you alive?
What about that life
Hold me accountable
You're itching for the money that I use to wipe my ass
Here's some shitty Benjamin's
Too bad they'll never help you buy some fucking class
Trapped in a world where money controls you
Hustle hard or be a piece of shit
Watching the tears rolling down your face
I'm throwing away diamonds
I like a bad bitch
She fucks me all night
Then she counts my money while I'm on my play station
Every moment's always filled with sensation
Always fucking blazing America's my nation
I wouldn't have it any other fucking way
I'm about this fucking life I hustle hard and then I play
Put your lips on my dick so you can taste success
That's the shit swallow and don't spit
What about that life
Trapped in a world where money controls you
Hustle hard or be a piece of shit
Watching the tears rolling down your face
I'm throwing away diamonds
On and on it never stops till the money's gone
Rip this bong and get yo money bitch start stacking the paper
I had diamonds but I threw them away 'cause I don't give a fuck
Suck my fuck
She rides my dick like it's a merry go round
And I just bust my nut on her
Let me tell you something
Tighter than a virgin
Making money like a surgeon
And we stack it to the roof
Because my pockets started hurting
Balling and hauling and taking over like I'm Stalin
Got a few fucks but I do not give them to anyone.
Holy shit
I guess I'm really just about that life
Suck my fuck
The lyrics of Attila's song "About That Life" are very explicit and contain a lot of profanity. The song portrays a lifestyle that revolves around money, sex, and substance abuse. The chorus of the song, "What about that life," suggests that the song's protagonist is living a particular way that not everyone understands. The song is about living life to the fullest, doing what you want, and not caring what other people think.
The opening lines reveal that Attila is not a role model. He is not someone that you should look up to or try to emulate. He smokes weed, drinks alcohol, and has sex with women without any emotional attachment. Attila is selfish and misogynistic; he hates women and refers to them as "cunts." He seems to take pleasure in treating women poorly and views them as objects to be used for his pleasure.
The rest of the lyrics talk about money and power, and how they can control your life. Attila is critical of people who are not successful, calling them "pieces of shit." He talks about throwing away diamonds, which implies that he has so much money that he doesn't need to care about material possessions. The final lines of the song end with "Suck my fuck," which is a vulgar and insulting phrase that sums up Attila's attitude towards the world.

Stupid people.
Seriously, if you don't like it, don't listen! Simple as that.
Do you just come here to hate? To make hate comments?
You must have a boring life if so.
I hate many songs/bands, but I'm not commenting saying It's bad and all.
Stop with the negative hate shit.
Some people enjoy it, some don't.
Some like this song, some don't.
We don't have to like all the same music.
@Maddy-yl3ok
Congrats.
Do you want a medal?
This is awful music? Nonono.
Some people like it. We don't have to like the same music homie. b
MENTALLY CHALLENGED? Man that's fucked.
I actually have Autism/Aspergers.
Wanna know what's shit? You are.
For dissing people who like this music, and saying I'm mentally challenged.
Please grow up.
And realize some like things, some don't.
We don't have to like the same thing as you do.

My favorite parts of this video were the deep lyrics, how humble they were regarding their finances, and how they respected all the women. Number one Christian band of all time!
