MADINA LAKE will release their new studio album WORLD WAR III, September 13 on Razor and Tie. After performing during the U.K.’s Download Festival at Donington Park and a string of Vans Warped Tour shows, the group will kick off a North American tour the same day the album is released. The group’s first single “Hey Superstar” will impact Alternative Radio on August 8th and is available now on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hey-superstar-single/id449033712
WORLD WAR III was produced by MATEO CAMARGO and MADINA LAKE, except for the song "Imagineer," produced and written by Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins and MADINA LAKE. WORLD WAR III closes one chapter and opens another. The Chicago quartet of twin brothers NATHAN (Vocals) and MATTHEW LEONE (Bass, Vocals), MATEO CAMARGO (Guitar, Programming), and DANIEL TORELLI (Drums) has endured more in the past two years than most artists will experience over the course of an entire career. Last June, MADINA LAKE bassist MATTHEW LEONE was hospitalized after intervening in a domestic violence incident in Chicago involving a man beating his wife. In critical condition, LEONE’s injuries included a fractured skull, broken jaw and a swollen brain as doctors removed one-third of his skull while waiting for the swelling in his brain to go down. National and Local musicians and came together to raise money for MATTHEW’s hospital bills with The Smashing Pumpkins playing a benefit show in Chicago raising over $80,000. A lot of uncertainty followed, with doubts that MADINA LAKE would ever play again. Fortunately, MATTHEW’s recovery in the last year has been nothing short of miraculous leading to an exciting next chapter in the band’s history, which brings us to the group’s most anticipated album yet, WORLD WAR III.
“In a way we created this record subconsciously,” vocalist NATHAN LEONE explains. “So much was going on around us we didn’t have the energy to over-think the music, at the same time, every single moment counted. It’s by far our heaviest record to date.”
Over the years, MADINA LAKE has toured with Paramore, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday Gym Class Heroes and many more in addition to taking part on several runs of the Vans Warped Tour. Expect more tour dates to be announced soon.
