The release date of the MAD ALIEN album "Mad Alien" on CD is August 29th, 2014. The preorder phase will start on August 15th, 2014 in our webshop.

Coming into the Rock scene in 1989 with the EP "We are alive" MAD ALIEN showed a lot of potential with their melodic Heavy Metal/Hard Rock. Combining a fine vocalist, good guitars, outstanding songwriting und the typical 80s feel, this high quality was "standard" for all songs also on the forthcoming full length in 1992.

The problems for MAD ALIEN in the early 90s were not produced by themselves, but from a short living Zeitgeist. The NIRVANA poisoned youth was filled up with low quality Grunge and other short living "alternative" trends. So there was no time and space for a fine band far away from the bad smelling teen spirit of the age.

Founder and head of the band Raico Ebel still is active with a lot of projects so he supported to bring his very rare masterpieces again on the market via the Karthago Heavy Metal classics series. Of course finally for another public concerning the title of the 1992 final album "Qui Habet Aures Audiendi, Audiat" (The ones who have ears to hear, listen!). We are sure the gourmet public and all "No-trends" will enjoy the treasures of MAD ALIEN!

The German Heavy Metal Band MAD ALIEN has released a lyric video for the song "Kwisatz Haderach (part3)". The Song is from the album „Time War", which was released on CD and on digital download by Karthago Records.

Bandstatement:
"This is perhaps the oldest Mad Alien song ever. Actually, I wrote him back then for Ill Prophecy with Michael Kiske on vocals. But after Michi went to Helloween, Ill Prophecy broke ... I took it as the first song for Mad Alien! I was inspired for this song by Iron Maiden - 'to tame a land "and so it is not surprising that this is the direct continuation of it!"
