Attilla

It's always exciting when a band who you've most likely never heard of starts acting really entitled. Such is the case with Atilla. The Atlanta deathcore band's frontman, Chris Fronzak, took to Twitter last night to boast about how great the new album is, and in the process came off like a total douche: (more…)

Maybe so, but I can't imagine that it's worse than Rage, the new album by an Atlanta metal act that shares the name of Mr. Joel's old band. (more…)
