Georgia deathcore band Attila are like herpes – there’s a stigma about them and they’re embarrassing, but they’re also infectious and catchy. They also return when you least expect them. Perhaps that’s why the band today officially announced that the “party metal” band have announced their sixth album, Guilty Pleasure, will be released on Monday, November 24th. The new album arrives less than a year and a half after their last album, About That Life, which was released in 2013.
By calling the album Guilty Pleasure, the band is admitting that they’ve got plenty of haters to go along with the growing fan base that pushed About That Life to a #22 debut last year. Frontman Chris “Fronz” Fronzak addressed that in the press release for the album’s announcement:
Whether you were a fan of About That Life or a fan of Outlawed, this album will appeal to everyone. Even if you pretend to hate our music, you will love this album. It will be your guilty pleasure.
The band promise some changes as well, with Fronz stating that it’s the heaviest album they’ve written, but has a “new refreshing twist.” He also says he’s written the most personal song he’s ever written. Hmm, which would that be, “Pizza, Sex & Trolls,” or “Horsepig?” Here’s the track listing of the album:
1. “Pizza, Sex and Trolls”
2. “Hate Me”
3. “Rebel”
4. “Guilty Pleasure”
5. “I’ve Got Your Back”
6. “Proving Grounds”
7. “I Am Satan”
8. “Break My Addiction”
9. “Horsepig”
10. “Dirty Dirty”
11. “Fake Friends”
12. “Don’t Be Basic”
13. “The Cure”
