Attila

Main article: Attila (metalcore band)

When he was 14 in 2005, Chris met at high school in Atlanta Sean Heenan, Sam Halcomb, Matt Booth and Kris Wilson and formed Attila. He decided to name the band Attila in reference to Attila the Hun, which he came across in a book. [1] Since 2007 with Fallacy, the band released seven records with two different record labels, Artery Recordings and SharpTone Records, before to decide to become an unsigned band. As indipendent band, they release in 2019 their last album, Villain.[2][3]

Fronz recently started a Trap metal side project named Bone Crew. He officially announced the project on 27 July 2018. They have released a self titled album, which was released 3 August 2018 through Stay Sick Recordings.[4][5] On April 27, 2019 Bone Crew will perform live for the first time ever at So What Music Festival in Dallas[6].

In 2012, Fronzak was featured in the In Dying Arms song "Bathed in Salt", which appeared on the band's album Boundaries, released in September 2012. He also featured in the song "Love, Sex, Riot" from Issues' debut EP Black Diamonds, which was released on November 13. Fronzak was also featured in the We Are the Blog! song "Shwash" in their EP Decadence. Fronzak featured in "Mimic" from Upon a Burning Body's 2012 album, Red.White.Green. He also featured in My City, My Secret's song "The Forefront", in their debut EP Dream Being. In 2013, Fronz was also featured in Sleeping With Sirens song "The Best There Ever Was" off their third album, Feel.

On December 11, 2013, it was announced that Fronzak would be heading into the studio in the following month to begin recording a hip-hop album.[7] On April 1, 2014, he released his first song, entitled "Turn It Up", under the stage name Fronzilla as part of his hip-hop side project.[8] Another single, "They Still Talk", was released in March 2015,[9] along with the announcement of the album. The album, Party People's Anthem, was released on July 2, 2015 under Artery Recordings.[10]

Stay Sick

edit

On July 16, 2014, Fronzak launched the imprint label Stay Sick Recordings, created alongside Artery Recordings, and announced that the label had signed pop-punk band Old Again.[11] The band has since signed metalcore outfit The Plot in You, deathcore band Enterprise Earth, electronicore band It Lives It Breathes, and post-hardcore/metalcore band Vesta Collide.[12]

Controversies

edit

Chris Fronzak during his life was involved in different controversial situations.

A famous controversy regards Senses Fail's singer, Buddy Nielsen. In 2014, Nielsen attacked Attila for the song Proving Grounds, stating that the song insulted the LGBT community. Fronz replied to Nielsen "If you think I'm homophobic in any way possible, you're clearly either an idiot or you're in a washed-up band that nobody cares about".[13] During Warped Tour in 2015, Attila and Senses Fail toured together and Fronz accused them of leaving a sign at the Attila merch table calling them "homophobes"[14], moreover he accused Buddy Nielsen to spent every day on stage "to talk shit about Attila"[15].

In April 2015, during a concert in Perth, Fronz was assaulted on stage and he eventually responded by retaliating against an innocent bystander[16].

In the album About That Life published in 2013, the song "Callout" called out people like Jonny Craig, Ronnie Radke, Christofer Drew, and Mike Reynolds for different reasons[17]. On February 15, 2018, Attila self released a diss track called "Callout 2" in which Fronz called out more than 50 people for different reasons, including Buddy Nielsen, Emmure, Denis Stoff, Danny Worsnop and Tyler Carter, causing a lot of reactions by the community and the people involved[18][19]. Fronz eventually explained some days later the meaning behind the song[20].

On August 22, 2018, during a concert, he punched a security guard, claiming that the guards were choking the fans[21].
