Attila part ways with guitarist Nate Salameh

Right after the band recently released the first single from their new album, Attila guitarist Nate Salameh (pictured far right) has announced his departure from the group.

In a post on his personal Facebook account, Salameh said that he has no bad blood against the band and is trying to focus on living a drug/alcohol-free lifestyle. “It is obvious that this was not the environment that I needed to be in to ensure that I live a clean, healthy and happy life,” Salameh wrote.

Attila recently premiered a new single, “Proving Grounds,” on AltPress. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming sixth full-length album, Guilty Pleasure, which will be released November 24 via Artery Recordings/Razor & Tie Records. 

You can read the full statement from Salameh below:

I'm making this post to inform everyone that the boys in ATTILA and I have decided to go our separate ways. I have no bad blood against the guys at all. It was apparent to the people who are close to me (including the guys in the band) that I wasn't happy. I couldn't keep lying to myself. It just took some recent events for me to realize it. I had rrecently decided to make a lifestyle change to clean myself of all drugs and alcohol and it is obvious that this was not the environment that I needed to be in to ensure that I live a clean ,healthy and happy life. I'm blessed to have made so many friends and I am truly appreciative all the life lessons that the road has ttaught me. I wish the best for ATTILA in all future endeavors. This is not the end of the road for me. This past year I have found a new passion for recording so I will be perusing this strongly. I love all you and thank you
