“Guilty Pleasure” by Attila is a high-energy metalcore track that captures the band’s unapologetic, party-fueled attitude while highlighting a polished modern production. Produced by Joey Sturgis, the song benefits from his signature approach to heavy music: tight low-end, hyper-focused guitar tones, and punchy, sample-enhanced drums designed to hit hard on any sound system. Sturgis’ production elevates the track’s aggression while keeping it clean, loud, and instantly impactful.
Musically, “Guilty Pleasure” features crushing downtuned riffs, groove-driven rhythms, and commanding vocals that shift between aggressive screams and rhythmic spoken delivery. Joey Sturgis’ meticulous editing and layering techniques help create the track’s precision and clarity, ensuring every element from the percussive guitar chugs to the bass drops cuts through the mix. The result is a modern metalcore sound that feels both raw and club-ready.
