Freddy Madball, vocalist of hardcore legends, Madball, is going solo. On November 4th he will release “Catholic Guilt”, his debut album as a solo artist. Traditional Madball fans should prepare themselves for something a little different than what they’re used to – this is a more or less, a hip hop album. Here’s an official statement regarding the release:
The album will contain Freddy’s tough as nails vocals but with different muscles flexed. “I’m doing everything on this album, singing, rhyming and yelling, rhyming being the focal point.” says Freddy. While Madball have always had an urban beat to their sound, Catholic Guilt has all out boom bap beats and rock breaks.
One of the tracks on the album is a cover of The Clash’s “London Calling” done as hip hop and featuring Rancid. You can give it a listen on Freddy’s MySpace page.
