Hard Rock Sleaze Glam AOR HEAVY

Hard/Melodic Rock with a balance of 80’s,90’s and current elements. “New Beginning” is the NEW Hard driving CD from MADMAN’S LULLABY follow up to 2007 “Unchain My Soul”…after a couple member changes Madman’s ROARS back with a KILLER follow up!!

Happily, Madden and Reckless would live to fight another day, but it is for this album that the group will forever be remembered – perhaps one of the greatest (unheralded) melodic hard rock releases of the late-’70s. A record with ferocious intent and silky precision. They definitely don’t make them like this any more…
