New York hardcore stalwarts Madball have announced their new record Not Your Kingdom will arrive on July 24th on Nuclear Blast Records. The group tracked the effort with Andrew Baylis, Aiden Thompson, and Grady Saxman at The Boneyard Studios in Nashville, TN. Additional production was handled by Jeff “Stress” Davis and Chuck Treece at Chop Shop Studios. Lee Rouse was then tasked with mixing and mastering.
The band have released a music video for the album’s lead single “Rebel Kids”. The clip was co-directed by Dave Causa and Madball frontman Freddy Cricien. Cricien said of the song:
“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!”
