(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.”

(2) Attilla was a Heavy Metal band which was formed in the city of New York in 1983. During their active career, they released three demos and a full-length titled Rolling Thunder in 1986.

(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.

Attila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuck the law
I've been to every fucking city
And I've seen it all
If you got a fuckin' problem
Let the whole world know
Break every fuckin' thing
That you see at this show
This is not a request
It's an order
Are you fuckin' listening
Attention defict disorder?
Close your eyes
Close your fists
And imagine that your enemy's in front of you
Now what would happen?
Break shit
Fuck the law
Fuck this shit
Punch that bitch
Break shit
Fuck the law
Fuck it
Punch a fuckin' bully
In the god damn face
Or just hit 'em with a brick
Or two just in case
They decide they want to fuck with you
And do it all again
You put the madness to an end
Take a deep breath
And hold it in
Break down these walls around you
Release your inner demons
And show me what the fuck you got
Total extermination
Fuck everybody
Wreck this place
Fuck it
I've got an anger problem
This is how it gets fixed
If you got a fuckin' problem
Let the whole world know
Break every fuckin' thing
That you see at this show
Break shit
Fuck the law
Fuck it
Break shit

Fuck this shit
Punch that bitch
Break shit

Fuck it
Take a deep breath
And hold it in
Break down these walls around you
Release your inner demons
Spread your evil throughout the room
Take a deep breath
And hold it in
Break down these walls around you
Release your inner demons
And show me what the fuck you've got
They're always trying hard
Just to push you down
But when its all said and done
You're gonna run this town
You hurt their pride in front of everyone
So finish the job
You poured the gasoline
So set it off
You smash their fuckin' face
And watch them suffer
Just like they did to you
But make it worse
Retaliation is a must
They caused an issue
Violence will solve it all this time
Throw the fuckin' match
And watch the motherfucker Burn
Burn!

Attila you guys just keep doing what you're doing! There will always be haters along the way but thats just because they take shit too seriously, if they care about the lyrics that much then they can go listen to so fucking Sleeping With Sirens. You guy's music is about partying and just not giving a fuck, you dont have to be like all the other bands :) this is a kick ass song!
its me colby
Wether or not you like the lyrics or screaming, this band is very capable and extremely talented. The musicalities and riffs and solos are nothing sort of incredible even on live performances so give them at least that much respect.
Rodrigo Pérez
I hope you're trolling.
If by riffs you mean fuckin' generic breakdown with no dynamics, yeah, they are pretty good at that.

I do listen to lots of oldschool metal bands like Pantera, Metallica etc. and even Dream Theater. But sometimes I just want to turn myself off and listen to not very complicated stuff and just chill out :-D Attila is the perfect band for this. Fronz is pretty good screamer I have to say
