German hard rock veterans Mad Max will release their new album, “Interceptor”, on October 28 in Europe & November 5th in the US via Steamhammer/SPV. The cover artwork for the CD was created by Thomas Ewerhard and it alludes to Mel Gibson’s legendary desert car in the movie classic “Mad Max”.
The four Mad Max musicians — Michael Voss [vocals, lead guitar], Jürgen Breforth [guitar], Roland Bergmann [bass] and Axel Kruse [drums] — promise “full throttle from start to finish” and sum up the direction of their new record in just two words: “It rocks!” Or, as guitarist Jürgen Breforth puts it: “Whereas some rock groups become insipid and balladesque with time, we’ve taken the opposite route and deliver nothing but pure energy.”
Like its predecessors, “Interceptor” was produced by frontman Michael Voss at his Kidpool Studio in Münster, with the drum recordings completed at the renowned Principal Studios in Senden. The record was mastered at the MSM Studios in Munich, where once upon a time Gotthard added the final polish to their works. Breforth says: “This time we made a conscious decision to allow ourselves more external output, yet without overdoing it.”
There are ten new songs to marvel at on “Interceptor”, including “Turn It Down”, the obligatory cover song by The Sweet. “It’s what our fans are used to, so we just have to grit our teeth,” jokes Breforth.
