I’ll say this about Attila’s Chris “Fronz” Fronzak: the dude knows exactly what he’s doing, and I kinda (kinda) respect him for it. He’s learned precisely how to make IMNs like us flip the fuck out, and he uses it to his advantage, like The Wizard of Oz pulling levers behind the curtain. For every hateful write-up Attila get, if even less than 0.1% of people who read it become Attila fans that’s a major win for him and the band.

This is not to say I’m suddenly Attila fan. I think they suck. But you don’t just sell 18,500 records first week accidentally; everything connected to this band is all very carefully calculated and choreographed! And it takes a lot to execute all that properly.

So: here’s a smooth R&B cover of Attila’s trademark anthem “About That Life” that Metal Insider posted. The cover was done by the Cleveland “R&B Metal” band Atlas Uncharted, and you should listen to it right now if for no other reason than to hear the lyrics “she rides my dick like it’s a merry go round and I just bust my nut on her” in smooth R&B form, which, come to think of it, is probably the most appropriate musical form of all.
