About the song and video
Welcome to the ’Edge Of The World’…
Picture yourself somewhere in the Middle-East or North Africa… walking around in one of the markets, through narrow passages… with merchants, beggars and thieves all around… the air filled with smells of spices, incense and animals. A cool and mysterious setting for a dark mystery that reminds us of the backdrops used in epic films like ’Death On The Nile’ and ’Indiana Jones’. “Edge Of The World“ delivers a fusion of bone-crushing guitar riffs and a led-heavy rhythm section, all mixed with multi-ethnical instrumentation and harmonies typical for the regions.
The guitars build on a mono-toned lead riff in the intro and chorus and open-ended chords in the verse and pre-chorus. It is only in the bridge that the more typical duo-harmony riffs are used. The guitars are also tuned in drop B (5 tones down) to give a deeper and darker feel to the sound. The ambiance of the song is also inspired by Led Zeppelin’s song ’Kashmir’ and Rush’s ’A Passage To Bankok’. Packaged in MAD INVASION’s typical dark-themed classic rock, the result is both different and enticing – clearly standing out on the contemporary rock scene.
“Edge Of The World“ is single is the title track from the upcoming album and is also the 'big' song both as far as energy, intensity and delivery.

About the song and video
A head-on groovy rock song with a party mood and high sing-along factor.
The song is based on a older guitar riff that was updated for a more modern purpose.
We used the same two girls in this video as in the previous one ’Devil’s Calling’, both our trademark ’Fallen Angel’ in white (the evil angel) and the girl who is usually our Black Angel (the good angel) but in this video is the ’Party Girl’.
The theme of the song and video is that we all should get a bit crazy once in a while – just because we can. No serious messages, just having fun in the name of rock’n roll. The video was record at Slagthuset in Malmö (Sweden), which is big venue used for both live concerts and exhibitions.
The guitars that were used in the recording were an old Ibanez Destroyer (Björn) and Gibson Les Paul (Hal) together with a classic vintage Marshall amp and speakers from the early 70’s. The guitars are tunes in a 5-semitone-drop which means that a regular E-string becomes a B-tone, and an A-string becomes an E tone. This creates a heavier and more dynamic rock sound but also requires thicker strings (011-052) to be able to carry the lower tones well.
The guitars were recorded in 6-dubbed stereo with Tri-Chorus and Delay, which created the massive and broad sound in the song.
For the vocals we used the amazing Swedish microphone Ehrlund, with an Audio Tube Pre-amp, Audio Tube Compressor and Urei 546 Equalizer.
