Big news from NYHC kings Madball: their new album, entitled 'For The Cause', will drop June 15th 2018 via Nuclear Blast!.

Vocalist Freddy Cricien comments: "We are beyond excited to finally drop 'For The Cause'!! To say we're happy with the end result is an understatement! This record accurately defines the current state of our band... our sound, our state of mind, our ambitions, our flaws, and our attitude!"

The record was mixed and mastered by renowned producer Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studios in Denmark and was co-produced by Tim Armstrong (RANCID), who also features on one song on the album.

Cricien continues: "Tim and us go way back, he's an old friend and super talented guy... across the board! A legend in his own right. He invited us to come record with him and it all fell into place very organically. He's respected our band from day one and was excited to be a part of this. We're honored to have him on board."

Bassist Hoya Roc states: "We got a real good album. It feels like the movie "Pulp Fiction". We've got every style of hardcore in there. It feels like we've got something special!"

The band also revealed that legendary rapper/actor/frontman Ice-T (Body Count makes a guest appearance on one track.

Commented Ice-T: “It’s an honor to record with the legendary Madball. Body Count draws its closest similarities to NY Hardcore. This is a natural.”

Cricien added: "It's truly an honor to have Ice-T on our record! I grew up on his music from his early hip hop stuff till now. He's an iconic figure but also a 'class act', you don't always get both at once. Ice has a great respect for NYHC and Madball, means the world. This was meant to happen.... real recognizes real."
