(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.
(4) Psychedelic group including Billy Joel that released one self-titled album.
(5) A French DJ who produces flashcore, glitch, noise, and experimental music.
(6) An Italian dancehall singer.
(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.”

(4) Attila were 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."
5) Attila is a French DJ who produces flashcore, glitch, noise, and experimental music.
(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” was released on February 24, 2015.

Attila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crazy adventures await, day after day
I don't remember her name
Oh what a shame it is, oh what a shame
Shake your ass girl, break it down and drop it low
It's a photo-shoot with me and my camera phone
I can keep it on the low if you want me to But secrets are no fun
Get up, we've got a 6 hour drive
But drivings overrated, drivings overrated
Take a hit of this and we'll fly
Fly above the highest of highs
No one can stop divine progression
Let the haters hate as they'd like
This is not an option, get out
Shake your ass girl, break it down and drop it low
It's a photo-shoot with me and my camera phone
I can keep it on the low if you want me to
But secrets are no fun
Shut the fuck up
This is not the time or place to start this war
Start this war!
The lyrics of Attila's "Jumanji" suggest that the singer is seeking wild and crazy adventures with no inhibitions or consequences. The first line conveys that the singer is leaving, perhaps to embark on a road trip or a spontaneous journey. The next line establishes a sense of excitement and anticipation for the unknown experiences that await them. However, the line "I don't remember her name, oh what a shame it is, oh what a shame" can suggest that the singer does not feel emotionally attached to the people they meet on the journey and are impulsively taking risks with strangers.
The chorus encompasses a sense of party culture and hedonistic behavior; encouraging the objectification of women and objectifying their bodies. There is an emphasis on keeping the secret, indicating that these behaviors are not socially accepted or appropriate. Additionally, the song implies drug use with lyrics like "Take a hit of this and we'll fly, fly above the highest of highs," suggesting the singer's disdain for normal societal expectations and practicalities, such as driving. The singer is convinced that "no one can stop divine progression," perhaps indicating a belief in navigating their own destiny, free from the constraints of societal norms. The closing line of the song, "Shut the fuck up, this is not the time or place to start this war," emphasizes the singer's desire for freedom and to avoid confrontation, even in situations where such conflict may be necessary.
