Art of Attrition is a band that redevelops "the typical" deathcore sound by delivering aggression with melody, atmosphere with intricacy, and brutality with technicality. Combining ferocious work ethic with refined musicality, their songs challenge the notion that deathcore cannot evolve or be unique. Art of Attrition intends on exploring and creating music they love.
““…And It Will All End Forever” rises to the surface with the speed and dexterity of bands like Archspire. Mesmerizing lead guitars shine brightly above the powerhouse rhythms, momentary silences between anvil heavy sections giving fleeting respite. A gargantuan monolithic breakdown is the last thing you might expect to hear on a track with such stunning lead guitars, but the band brought it and it is nothing short of brutal, contrasted perfectly with the delicate piano fade out. It’s hard to fathom how this band are not on a major label because this record is sublime [9/10]” – metal Noise
Following the success of their debut album, “The Void Eternal”, Art of Attrition has released their highly anticipated sophomore release, “…And It Will All End Forever”. With the success of the E.P, they continue to make waves in the local and international deathcore scenes.
