Attila - "Rolling Thunder" (full album)
Attila: Αμερικάνικο heavy metal συγκρότημα που έδρασε στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα. Κυκλοφόρησαν τρία demos κι έναν "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο ("Rolling Thunder" 1986), ενώ συμμετείχαν και στις συλλογές "Metal over America" - "Speed Metal Hell Vol. 1".
Προ ημερών επανακυκλοφόρησε σε cd ο μοναδικός τους δίσκος με την προσθήκη έξι bonus τραγουδιών. Στα δέκα κομμάτια του "Rolling Thunder" προστέθηκαν στα τρία κομμάτια των δύο συλλογών και τα τρία τραγούδια του demo "Strike to Kill". Τα τελευταία απουσιάζουν από τον audio player...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Attila formed in New York in late 1983 by guitarist John DeLeon. The band would go through several personnel changes before forming the perfect power trio with drummer A.T Soldier and bassist/vocalist Vincent Paul Manfredi in the ranks by the summer of ’84.
The threesome would record and issue several demos throughout the following year. Their quick and widely spreading demos combined with extensive gigs and international press exposure gained the band a strong underground following. This would lead to Attila’s appearance on the New Renaissance Records 1985 compilation album ‘Speed Metal Hell’ and Mausoleum Records ‘Metal Over America’ that same year.
By this time interest was being expressed by several independent record labels. It was an energized performance by ATTILA in a battle of the bands' competition that clinched them a deal with the newly formed Shattered Records.
In 1986 ATTILA’s only full-length ‘Rolling Thunder’, produced by Carl Canedy (The Rods) was released. A 9-song, including a cover of Alice Cooper’s ‘School’s Out’, a solid slab of grade A U.S. heavy metal that would go on to sell over 10,000 copies worldwide.
Mysteriously ATTILA would disappear and be lost in the ruins of the next decade to come. But with the dawning of the internet age and the quickly growing collector’s scene digging up long lost heavy metal gems ATTILA would be re-discovered and once again in demand.»
