Attack, Sniper, Sturmtrupp...new material

"Fade Away." the new album from Attack is out now. Released by Rebel Records of Germany. When the band was recently asked about the choice of a German label, the reply was simple, the band wants everyone to access and enjoy their music.

Getting to speak with Chris and the guys briefly at this year's Uprise, they agree the direction of the band is becoming more progressive and less preaching to the choir. Perhaps that is why famed Cannibal Corpse/Deicide guitarist Jack O. joined the band in recording this album?

The overall theme of the album is supposedly based on the lyrics of famed frontman Forrest, while he was touring Iraq with the US military. The photography in the booklet of the CD is by Forrest while in Iraq. We definately anticipate checking out the whole CD soon, and be sure to keep checking back for an upcoming interview with the band.
