Among the pillars of NYHC, Madball have announced their landmarks tenth studio album with the confirmation of Not Your Kingdom. Arriving on Nuclear Blast Records July 24th, the release reaffirms the band's position in the hierarchy of hardcore and continues their legacy as one of the genre's most vital voices.
Introducing the album, Madball have shared the single, "Rebel Kids," an effort that reemphasizes the band's signature sound while speaking to the ethos of nonconformity that drives hardcore.
Madball Freddy shared of the track, "Funny enough, Rebel Kids was the first track written for this album and actually was completely put together probably 2 years ago … or so.
The sentiment, vibe and message of the song really became the catalyst for what came after. We all loved the song immediately but I couldn’t have known it would be the first single. We have several songs that we feel could be first “out of the gate”. But in the end Rebel Kids made the most sense musically, lyrically etc. We look forward to releasing this song and album. It’s a special one for us and we’re hoping the rest of the world feels the same once they hear it!"
Not Your Kingdom was produced by Andrew Baylis, Aiden Thompson, and Grady Saxman, with final mixing and mastering handled by Lee Rouse. The album's cover art features photography by the legendary Cornell Capa, courtesy of Magnum Photos and the Cornell Capa Estate.
In support of Not Your Kingdom, Madball are set to take on several live dates spanning headlining plays and festival appearances both home and abroad. See the list of confirmed dates and cities below.
