(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. One track, called Lucifer's Hammer was featured on the first Speed Metal Hell compilation record which was issued under New Renaissance Records in 1985.

(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.
Smokeout
Attila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pack your bags we gotta leave this town for good
Don't complain, I've never done these things before
Flashing lights in the rearview, hit the gas
If one things for sure- I will be going fast!
Smoke it out
Step on the gas
Another 127 more miles to go
And I'll be back in the city that I once called home
I will run forever, days and nights will pass
They'll never find me
Things were going well, I even left a note
We kept in touch until about a half hour ago
That's about the time my world turned upside down
One things for sure, I'll never be found!
Smoke me out now
This is an order!
Smoke me out
Step on the gas!
They're catching up to me
Don't let em get me
I don't wanna spend my life in jail
Don't let em get me
I'm going out with a bang!
I'll never know why being bad has to be so fun
Everybody's out to get me
Pedal to the metal to avoid the consequence
No one ever said I couldn't run from my problems!
We can leave this city
Lets escape our demons
They'll never catch me alive!
The lyrics of Attila's song "Smokeout" suggest a scene of someone evading the law after committing a crime or being involved in a troubling situation. The singer in the song talks about packing their bags and leaving town for good, with a firm determination to never be caught. They hit the gas and speed away, driving fast and far, with flashing lights in the rearview. The singer revels in the adrenaline rush of escaping, and orders someone to smoke them out, presumably to avoid being detected by the authorities.
As the song progresses, it is revealed that the singer had been doing well until about a half-hour ago when something happened, and their world flipped upside down. They left a note and took off, wanting to run forever, with days and nights passing them by but still determined to never be caught. As they speed away, they sing about how being bad can be fun and how everyone is out to get them. They express an unwillingness to spend their life in jail and opt for going out with a bang.
The song's theme may not be suitable for everyone as it glorifies criminals and lawbreaking. However, it is an excellent representation of the punk and metalcore genres, with powerful vocals and high-energy guitar riffs. The song has been incredibly popular among young audiences, and several music critics have praised its intensity and rawness.
