About the song and video
This heavy and dark song describes the constant battle between good and evil… where more often than not – evil wins. It’s about how lonely it can be when you feel overwhelmed with dispair and dark thoughts… when it seems like there’s no way out. In that darkness is also where the demons appear, haunting and taunting, in all shapes and forms… The band represent the champions for good in a world where evil is always close and lurking.
The video was partly filmed in Prague and the dark story is emphasized by the elements of this classic city, with all its dark history. This video is also special in that this is where the ’Fallen Angel’ is born... the angel in white who went from an innocent little girl to being turned by the dark side… This happens in the ending part of the video, after a massive song outro, building towards the final climax…
Variations of her final transformation, showing when good turns to evil – has become a signature trademark for the band, being used at the end of several videos as well in marketing material…

About the album
Welcome to the ’Edge Of The World’…
The theme of the album is dark and mostly about the constant battle between the evil that surrounds us, in all shapes and forms. A topic that has been around as long as humankind has existed. Evil is real and we all experience it in our everyday lives, where life is getting harder and tougher for everyone.
Life is a constant fight constant battle between good and evil, and that it isn’t always the good that wins – quite often the opposite actually. That’s why we all need to fight back… fight the good fight to take us out of the darkness. The band are champions for good and the are determined to bring light to the darkness. The title track and third single from the album “Edge Of The World“ captures the dark and complex state of the world in dramatic way, with its bone-crushing guitars, stone heavy rhythm section and multi-cultural instrumentation. Join the MAD INVASION crusade in the shadowland.

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.

About the song and video
The writing process typically starts with Björn laying down some basic guitar tracks in our studio, to try out a new song idea. Next Pete will get introduced to the song and some ideas for lyrics and arrangements. Once the he has a feel for the song he will write the lyrics and the vocals are then recorded. This part of the process is a bit different since Pete likes to record his vocals just to the guitars and a click track – without any backgrounds or effects in his listening. After the vocals, Hal comes into the picture and the recorded tracks are transferred to the computer where the actual music production project is offcially born. Hal then adds keyboards, sounds and effects, as well as working with the rhythm section and overall arrangement of the song. At this point the fnal bass guitar and background vocals are recorded. Throughout recording and production process, the song is continuously iterated within the band for input and ideas until all feel satisfed with the result.
The band had an idea about flming this video in a castle and the local Trolleholm Castle seemed like a good choice since the environment there ftted well with the band´s concept of vintage rock and the song´s theme of demons and angels. As in several of the band´s other videos, both the evil and good angel appear to illustrate the constant battle between the two forces. The fortune teller is also part of the story, warning the band about bad things to come and that these can come at any time. For the intro of the video, the band wanted a reporter to be part of the story, desperately trying to interview the band – but without success. The video features special guest Mikkey Dee in superb form, adding to the visual expression of the song.
