Following his previous reviews of records he actually enjoys, Dom has finally found an album that he doesn’t, and it’s Attila’s new album Chaos. Fronted by the controversial troll-baiting Fronzilla (not his real name), the album treads the line between deathcore and try-hard offensive rap.
No stranger to the band itself, Dom even went to see Attila once, in the below review he casts his caffeine-powered eyes and ears over Attila’s seventh(!) album. And despite thinking that the album is “not as horrifying as it could be”, Dom (unsurprisingly) has a few problems with the lyrics and Fronz’s fascination with the word ‘bitch’.
Although “there’s nothing wrong with a bit of stupid” when it comes to the “dumb” straightforward deathcore, being a “lyrics guy” Dom is keen to point out the absurdity of Fronz’s words, giving a special man-from-the-seaside rendition of Public Apology. If you’re yet to listen to Attila, you need to watch this review.
