HATEBREED's frontman Jamey Jasta says he'll start writing an album after the european tour!!

The singer says touring commitments have prevented them returning to the studio sooner, but they've now set aside time to write the follow-up to 2013's The Divinity of Purpose.

Jasta tells Full Metal Jackie: "We are going to start writing in October. That’s the game plan. We were going to try it sooner then we got offered this Slipknot arena tour, and then we got offered festivals in July in Europe, and some festivals in the States and Canada in June.

"As soon as you are ready to get out, they are ready to pull you back in. It is a good problem to have. It’s like there is still demand in the live setting, so that is cool. In September we are headed back to the UK. So, it is going to have to be the end of September, early October when we get back into writing mode."

We are happy to welcome back Bombshell Rocks​ from Västerås, Sweden to the MAD Family!

WALLS OF JERICHO Signs With Napalm Records!

Austrian Metal Powerhouse Napalm Records is pleased to announce the signing of Detroit Michigan’s WALLS OF JERICHO. The band is currently working on their new album, which is their first full length since 2008. After releasing a demo track “Restless” earlier this year, the band felt the itch again and decided to get back to recording. The resulting album be released by Napalm Records later this year.

Drummer Dustin Schoenhofer on signing with Napalm Records:
“All of us in WALLS OF JERICHO are proud and very excited to have signed with Napalm Records and are looking forward to finally finding the right partnership to release our new music with. We would like to thank both Napalm and all our Fans and Family for being so patient with us these past seven years since our last release cause its long overdue.”

Thomas Caser, Napalm Records VP:
“We are thrilled to work with one of the most exciting acts out of this genre and one of the best live bands out there! WALLS OF JERICHO have left their mark in the music industry and yet there is so much more to come for this band. Watch out for the band’s new album this year and make sure you catch them live at some point if you have not seen them!”

Seemingly overnight, stylized bands playing strains of melodic hardcore have sailed up the pop charts. But for WALLS OF JERICHO things have played out a bit differently. During the scene’s ascension, the band’s members have all but shunned the idea of a genre tag or an “image” and have instead focused their energies on making music that will survive strictly on its musical merits.

Most bands in the world can be lumped into one category or another, they are shuffled, redefined, and in that way they begin to lose the qualities that could make them important or meaningful. The greatest bands, the most influential or memorable, are the ones who don’t try to fill the role set for them, who don’t pursue anything other than the desire to make music, and the need to express that art to an audience. From the start this has been the mind-set of WALLS OF JERICHO.

NAPALM DEATH's show on February 10th in Chicago is SOLD OUT! #throughspaceandgrindtour

New York hardcore pioneers AGNOSTIC FRONT have announced the details for their upcoming eleventh album, 'The American Dream Died'.

Commented singer Roger Miret: "We chose this title because we want to open up people's eyes to what's going on in this country. We have a lot to say. Not everyone realizes that our government and the people who run this country are so corrupt, greedy and ruthless. We need to educate the ones we reach. We're losing our values. We address real issues from full blown corruption and scandals to unjust police abuse and brutality. Everything's we stood for as a country is going down the drain. But we still somewhat have our freedom of speech. We're expressing it all through this record while we can."

'The American Dream Died' was produced by MADBALL singer Freddy Cricien and engineered, mixed and mastered by Paul Miner (H2O, Terror) and will be released April 4 (Europe) and April 7 (N. America), 2015 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The record will feature guest appearances by Cricien, Toby Morse (H2O) and Lou Koller (SICK OF IT ALL).

'The American Dream Died' track list:

01. Intro
02. The American Died
03. Police Violence
04. Only In America
05. Test Of Time
06. We Walk The Line
07. Never Walk Alone feat. Freddy Cricien, Toby Morse & Lou Koller
08. Enough Is Enough
09. I Can't Relate
10. Old New York
11. Social Justice
12. Reasonable Doubt
13. No War Fuck You
14. Attack!
15. A Wise Man
16. Just Like Yesterday

These rarely confronted and always respected leaders of hardcore were established as one of the meanest-sounding bands in the emerging punk genre, helping to initiate the term "hardcore," and placing an entire uproar on the New York map by association. From the start, AGNOSTIC FRONT released a catalogue of fast and violent punk tunes consisting of distinctive and aggressive drumming, fuming guitars, overdriven bass work, and a non-stop barrage of chaotic shouting.

After the successful albums "Miles & Memories" (2009) and "To Live And Die For" (2012), which brought them numerous headline and support shows across European and Asian venues and festivals, ALL FOR NOTHING is set with "What Lies Within Us" for the next level and ready to take their music around the globe in the years to come. As usual with their heart on their sleeves, energetic sound, rife with sing-along choruses and anthems galore whilst oozing a positive vibe that will no doubt induce circle-pits and stage dives.
New boundaries will be explored and crossed.

The band states:
"Wow! Well we had every faith in the fact that we've recorded a very strong albumand we had every faith in our label Nuclear Blast that they
would work their asses off - but this is AMAZING news!!! This even more impressive when you consider that our album 'leaked" a month before
the release date AND that we didn't target the charts in the Summer when it was "soft" and easier to chart high.
CARCASS was up against some strong mainstream releases this past week! Thanks to all the listeners who bought the album- it goes to prove to
all the cynics out there wrong - people DO still buy albums -especially Metalheads! If you bought the album you should be proud of yourselves!
Again thanks from us!"

NAPALM DEATH frontman Mark 'Barney' Greenway checked in with the following comment: "We realise that there will be a fair percentage of people at these shows who have never heard of NAPALM DEATH - let alone would go to see the band - and so the task for us is to do our utmost to give people a truly extreme experience sonically and of course offer some ethos. There will be noise in the purest sense of the word and we appreciate being asked to do our bit."
Children Of Bodom added the following: "Touring the UK & IRE with NAPALM DEATH feels great! We are honoured to have these pioneers with us and looking forward to seeing them live every night!"

Not long ago a part of Germany was affected by heavy flood water. A lot of cities and villages has been damaged by the flood and a lot of people lost their goods and chattels.  M.A.D. Tourbooking decided to collect some donations to help out. We asked some of our artist to support us and we received great goods that we can auction off. The records, cds, shirts, etc. can be bought at auction via eBay. The whole proceeds will go to the AJZ Chemnitz, a youth club in East Germany.
We decided to donate the money to the AJZ Chemnitz as we want to support a live club and a alternative youth center at the same time. How the AJZ was affected you can read below.
A big Thanks goes out to NAPALM DEATH, COCK SPARRER, SICK OF IT ALL, DEADLINE, DIE KASSIERER, H2O, RYKERS und RAWSIDE!!!
The things you can buy are partial very limited and hand signed. So take the chance and bid for it! And please don’t forget that this is for charity!

5&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESCX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562At the beginning of June 2013 after weeklong heavy rain in the region of the Erz Mountains in Saxony/Germany we, the Alterative Youthcenter (AJZ) in Chemnitz, were hit by a strong flooding. The central heating unit of our building, placed in the cellar, was drowned and destroyed, band's rehearsing rooms, workshops, sanitary facilities and parts of the building were severely damaged by water and mud. It's our near aim to continue with our normal business in autumn this year, with concerts, social work with young people, parties, bands that rehearse, worshops etc.
The decisive goal is to rebuild the damaged facilities to be better prepared for futures possible floodings. The insurance for our building will not cover all the costs for repairing all the damages.
The auction, initiated by M.A.D., to help us against the flooding is a great idea! We got a lot of help and support in the last weeks, nevertheless we still depend on help to repair everything and to keep our center up. That's why we are very pleased about M.A.D.'s support with this auction auf rarities.

Husker Du's "Makes No Sense At All" as recorded by THE MAHONES for their 11th album, Angels & Devils.
"If you know Finny McConnell, you know he loves Husker Du. When he arrived in the recording studio during the Angels & Devils sessions in summer 2012, he was wearing his Husker Du Land Speed Record t-shirt for inspiration. He pitched up at the crack of noon (9 AM musician time) and drummer Dom "The Bomb" Whelan was waiting for him. Dom announced that he was going to record barefoot that day, like Grant Hart from Husker Du. Finny decided it was a sign, so they picked Makes No Sense At All as that day's warm-up tune, because they both love the amazing drum break. They played the song twice, and moved on.
When it came time to mix the album, they listened to it, and they liked it so much that they decided to include it on Angels & Devils as a bonus track."
Here it is - THE MAHONES' tip of the hat to the legendary HUSKER DU! Enjoy!

NASTY released a new video for their song "Look At Me And Fuck You".
