Hurray for the future, sweet Oli Sykes be praised for this open field where all old barriers between genres and sounds and haircuts and ages have been floorpunched to mush, and people who in a less enlightened age I disparagingly referred to as ‘fr00tz’ and even in a far lessenlightened age, ‘fagg0tz’, are able to drag music kicking and screaming into the bedroom, where all the coats are, to be drunkenly raped and afterwards accused of being a slut. Music in 2010 is a non-stop frathouse keg party and so Atlanta’s Attila, who promise to merge Dirty South hip-hop with brutal deathcore, are ticking all the boxes to becoming my favourite band.
So far so good yo, our (slightly too happy) crew hang in the ghetto
with some sluts in school uniform.
Sadly, they huff some serious d0ng. Dirty South hip-hop and deathcore are natural allies and yet so seldom wed, like uber-nihilistic d-beat metallic crust and tree-dwelling US black metal (anyone?), they like bootshaking, foil-print, hotpants, calling out haterz, bitchez and bassdrops, and a gumbo of both brands of testosterone-filled misogyny in the form of ‘party deathcore’ will make any peepee harder than an angry Australian paedophile.
Where Attila go horribly wrong is that their hip-hop influences are entirely limited to talking about it, growling about parties and how much they don’t give a fuck if you don’t give a fuck, and what remains is just boring mid-tempo death metal, only with shrieking, like Jungle Rot having their balls kicked into their colon. Even their merch is just the standard lazy gorecore garbage and their promo shots a load of shiny-happy Easycore starjumps, ‘party deathcore’ is a total missed opportunity frankly.
“Yeah, cool party bro, lets go indoors and choose a balloon animal
- word is that Cuddles the Clown can do a dope seagull.”
Fuck you Attila, why can’t you be Deez Nuts?
My thoughts exactly! I really WANTED to like this band, and many people have emailed to suggest they would be my favorite band. Sadly, as you said, they are just not very good :( In fact, they are awful, neither getting the deathcore nor southern rap parts right. Instead, it's a just a big shit sandwich with my ears in the middle.
Maybe they should get one of the bros in Attack Attack to produce their record??
I liek them :(
BMTH bring the party far harder than this shitfest.
Reminds me a little about I set my friends on fire.
Good concept, just needs better execution and more rap influences.
Before I give it a listen; does it contain (parts with) rattling 808 hi hats and slapping 808 snares/claps?
If not, too bad, because I would really like to see a band that perfectly mixes Three 6 Mafia – influences with, let's say, Whitechapel or anything like that. Juicy J has to produce this stuff, because he's sportin' Iron Maiden shirts, which make me think he actually likes metal.
Holy shit I lol'd at that Australian Paedophile. He was HIGH LARE EEEE OUSSSSSS
their singer was on an episode of mtv's "made". to be made into a male model.
Saw this band back in December, walked out after 3-4 songs
I'll back you up on that crust/post-Weakling black metal thing. It fucking blows. Lets combine the taking yourself and your ridiculously simplistic political views way too seriously of crust punk, and combine them with 20 MINUTE LONG SONGS of wolves in the throne room! Gee, that sounds like fun!
Srsly, Weakling was the worst thing to happen to black metal.
Skinniest band I've ever seen.
Fuck it I like this band. Most shows here in the south suck but these guys can actually get a decent pit going so their great in my book. Also I once did an interview with the bands singer check it. outhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQjie4LOWKE
Lets try that again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQjie4LOWKE
Can't get the damn thing to copy right so if any one gives a fuck put in Attila interview on youtube and mine is in the middle by DJBree 13
can't say I'm mad at it….the black metal rapper vocalist is kinda cutting edge
Disappointed by the future again?!?! It's like Dippin' Dots all over again.
Dude, wtf? I love Attila, a lot actually They really don’t give a fuck and it’s nice to fuck to also.
