Alright, let’s all take a moment to appreciate the glorious chaos – the kings of metalcore ATTACK ATTACK! are BACK with a tour so extra, they’re calling it the “One Hit Wonder Tour” (because nothing says “one hit” like a band dropping their second self-titled album, “Attack Attack! II”, out August 9, 2025 via Oxide Records). Mark your calendars, because tickets for this circus drop May 23. Bring a helmet.
Oh, and they’ve been busy: they just dropped two tracks – “Dance!” (featuring Will Ramos of LORNA SHORE’s unholy vocal cords) and “Chainless”. The former starts with a fake country remix to troll fans before unleashing pure chaos – because who doesn’t want a deathcore vocalist screaming over crabcore riffs in 2024? Meanwhile, “Chainless” is the anthem you’ll blast while accidentally breaking your neighbor’s windows.
Fresh off their Welcome To Rockville gig and the Roadside Rumble Tour, they’re now threatening to “bring the most unhinged setlist ever.” Their words, not ours. Pro tip: stretch before the mosh pits.

Fun fact: If you owned a studded belt, posted MySpace selfies with “rawr XD” captions, or bought a Hot Topic membership card in 2009, you legally owe this band your paycheck. They invented the “crabcore” stance, dropped electronic breakdowns before it was cool, and dipped in 2013… only to resurrect like a phoenix with more drama than a Netflix reboot. Also, their 2020 comeback? Legend has it they heard someone called metalcore “dead” and took it personally.
