Madball Debut “Rebel Kids” Video, Announce New Album ‘Not Your Kingdom’

Hardcore veterans Madball have officially announced their tenth studio album, Not Your Kingdom, which is scheduled for release on July 24th through Nuclear Blast. Coinciding with the announcement, the New York hardcore staples have also premiered the album’s first single, “Rebel Kids,” alongside a newly released music video co-directed by vocalist Freddy Cricien and Dave Causa.

According to Cricien, the track played a major role in shaping the direction of the record as a whole.

“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!”

Recording sessions for Not Your Kingdom took place at The Boneyard Studios in Nashville, Tennessee with Andrew Baylis, Aiden Thompson, and Grady Saxman handling production duties. Mixing and mastering for the album was completed by Lee Rouse, while Jeff “Stress” Davis and Chuck Treece oversaw additional production for the album’s interludes at Chop Shop Studios.
