Madball's New Album: Forging Ahead, Honoring Legacy

0:00On April 4th, Mad Ball is dropping their new album Not Your Kingdom, this May on Nuclear Blast. Frontman Freddie Chrissian says it's their first full-length since For The Calls, back in June of 2018. The record's been through some remixed tweaks and artwork delays, but it's locked in now. Fans got a taste last October, with a single tethered, and there's fan footage from recent live shows, Killing In. Chrissian describes the vibe as venturing into fresh territory, while nodding to classics like, can't stop won't stop. Writing sessions flow naturally with the crew, all hungry after years away. The band kicked off in the late 1980s as a side gig from Agnostic Front. Roger Morett handed the mic to his younger half-brother Freddie during shows, and it blew up from there. They built a hardcore legacy over decades. Last August, longtime bassist Jorge Hoyer-Rockwera stepped away, but Chrissian stresses no drama, just past diverging. For The Calls had big names like Two Mats and On Mix, and Tim Armstrong co-producing and featuring.
