biography.: |
The band was formed in the mid-1990s by renaming the legendary industrial
project Střední Evropa as part of its shift from industrial to grindcore and
similar styles. Name referred to the fact that there was a maximum allowable
concentration of freaks among the band members. While focused mainly on live
shows, at the turn of the millennium they also recorded studio album The One
and in 2006 added a second album Badluck. In 2010, the band opened for Atari
Teenage Riot, a legend of the genre.
The guitarist role was eventually taken over by Daniel Gerner, whose
technical prowess and ability to incorporate both aggressive elements and
sophisticated nuances made him an indispensable part of the band's soundscape.
The lineup eventually settled down when Jana von Habczak, sweet lolita with
Satan in her throat, became the face of the band, taking on the full role of
singer and frontwoman, and dj Narcopolo, known for his incredible stunts with
loops and fx, took over the beats and everything electric. Later, when founding
member Petr Trpák announced his retirement, the band invited Daniel Rodný, once
a pioneer of Czech electro scene, to join them. Rodný welcomed the offer and
became a regular member. In 2024, 17 years after the second album Badluck, they
have together recorded the third studio album Keep Music Evil.
M.A.C. of Mad have developed a distinctive sound that stems from the fusion
of hellish female vocals with frantic beats, bestially brute guitar riffs and
caustic harmonies. Their digital hardcore revels in unusual and uncomfortable
approaches, and played with punk attitude and zero respect for any rules it
sounds like an obscure, coarse-grained, all-absorbing mass of molten magma
rolling straight from hell to shatter your afternoon siesta.
