When Attila announced that their new album, Guilty Pleasure, would be coming out on November 24th, the band’s frontman Fronz said that it was the “heaviest album they’d ever written.” Is it? Well, you’ve got a song to listen to to give you an indication now, at least. The band have premiered a song, “Proving Grounds,” on Alternative Press, and the deathcore band are, well, still sounding like Attila. Your mileage may vary on this, depending on your thoughts of deathcore, or the band’s self-described party metal.” They do have songs called “Pizza, Sex and Trolls,” and “Hate Me,” though. And those are just the first two songs on the album. Anyone that preorders the album from iTunes or Amazon as of today will get an instant download of “Proving Grounds.”
