Bio:
MAD MAX is a Münster melodic Hard Rock outfit debuted with a line-up of vocalist Andreas Baesler, guitarists Wilfred Schneider and Jürgen Breforth, bassist Thomas Hoffman and drummer Uwe Starck, cutting a self-financed, eponymous album for issue in 1982. This offering was subsequently re-issued via Roof Music in 1983. The band signed to Roadrunner Records and new singer Michael Voss, then just nineten years old, featured on the second album ‘Rollin’ Thunder’, released in October 1984. ‘Rollin’ Thunder’ was also granted a valuable US release on the Metal Blade label.The band then replaced Hoffmann with new bassist Jürgen Sander. MAD MAX evolved further when both Schneider and Starck vacated their positions to join fellow Münster Heavy Metal band Carrie. 1985’s ‘Stormchild’ album witnessed new recruits being drafted in the form of bassist Roland Bergmann, drummer Axel Kruse and guitarist Christopher Wegmann. The single ‘Fox On The Run’, from 1986, was a cover of the Sweet classic.MAD MAX guitarist Chris Gerhard (‘Angel’) Schliefer was eventually to join SINNER for their ‘Comin’ Out Fighting’ album in 1986 and has also enjoyed stints in the ranks of Pretty Maids, Bonfire and the rejuvenated Sabu. Drummer Axel Kruse currently plays with German Melodic Rock outfit Jaded Heart.Their final Roadrunner album release, the Dirk Steffens produced ‘Night Of Passion’, arrived in 1987.Mad Max debuted in 1982 with their self-titled album and managed to gain a lot of success in Europe and Japan in the mid-80's before fading away in 1989. Michael Voss and Jürgen Breforth reunited and put out a comeback album in 1999. Six years later the whole band has reemerged again and put out three albums in 2006 and 2007 and Here We Are in 2008.Mad Max will be supporting German heavy metal guitarist Axel Rudi Pell during the Circle Of The Oath Tour during April & May in 2012
Album:
Idealism is, as we all know, an inherent character trait that you can neither learn nor unlearn. In other words: you either have it or you don't. Mad Max musicians Michael Voss (vocals, guitar), Jürgen Breforth (guitar), Axel Kruse (drums) and Thomas Bauer (bass) doubtlessly have that unshakable idealism that ensures that the band still delivers optimum performance even after 35 years, without ever giving in to supposed restrictions dictated by the music industry. In the case of the current Mad Max album "35", which reflects musically and thematically the development of the band since it was founded back in the early 80s, there can be no doubt that they still haved lots of strong ideas up their sleeves. What is more: the new album sounds both classic and contemporary, holds lots of surprises in store and - last but not least - pays homage to the four band members' heroes."35" was produced at the Kidroom Studios in Greven, the drums were recorded under the direction of Rolf Munkes (Crematory, Phantom 5) at his Empire Studios in Bensheim near Frankfurt and the album was mastered at CS Mastering in Bratislava by Christoph Stickel (Michael Schenker Fest), so the production parameters live up to the album's high compositional standard.
