As previously reported, MADINA LAKE have enetered the studio to record the follow up to their debut album FROM THEM, THROUGH US, TO YOU. The band have now officially announced the title of the upcoming album. An official Roadrunner press release has all the deets…

Chicago alt rockers Madina Lake are pleased to announce Attics to Eden as the title of their second full-length for Roadrunner Records. The band is currently holed up in New Jersey’s House of Loud Studio, working diligently on the pre-production stages of the album. David Bendeth (Paramore, Underoath, Hawthorne Heights) is set to produce and mix Attics to Eden.

Attics to Eden follows up the band’s 2007-released debut, From Them, Through Us, To You. Madina Lake –comprised of vocalist Nathan Leone, bassist Matthew Leone, guitarist Mateo Camargo and drummer Dan Torelli—lived on the road in support of the album, logging countless miles on their tour van, performing everywhere from pizza joints and basement parties to the second stage of 2007’s Projekt Revolution Tour and last summer’s Warped Tour, cultivating a core of fans so dedicated that to call them “rabid” would be an understatement.

Nathan Leone sheds a little light on the recording process, saying, “After spending the last three months at home in Chicago shaping songs, we’re finally tracking our second record. The record’s title is Attics to Eden because, lyrically, most of the tracks explore different ways to find psychological refuge in a world that is moving faster than ever. It also serves as the second installment in the story of Madina Lake.” Regarding the band’s choice of producer, Leone says, “We picked David Bendeth because his track record implies that he has the gift of seeing a band’s vision through. For as many hits as he has, his focus lies more on the personality, individual character and musical ambition of artists, as opposed to chasing radio or trends. That is exactly in line with our philosophy, so were expecting a solid match. We are absolutely ecstatic to share this with as many people as possible.”

Roadrunner expects to release Attics to Eden in 2009.

What was Roadrunner Records supposed to do after the label corralled 56 musicians from 44 different bands spanning the label’s entire 25-year history to release one groundbreaking album, called ‘Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions’? Simple. Throw one helluva party!

The label did just that – and they threw a party complete with an all-star gig, featuring artists signed to the label, past and present, as well as a couple of other muso friends of Roadrunner.

Roadrunner is pleased to announce the release of the ‘Roadrunner United – The Concert’ DVD on December 8th. The double-disc set hits shelves almost three years to the day after the show, which was held at the Nokia Theater in Times Square, New York City on December 15, 2005. The concert enjoyed a cult “You had to be there!” status in the metal scene and now Roadrunner is giving the label’s diehard followers a chance to witness the event for themselves.

Roadrunner United – The Concert’ captures the festive intensity of the evening. A house band, featuring members of core Roadrunner acts such as Slipknot, Sepultura and Machine Head, performed hits and classic tracks culled from the entirety of the Roadrunner catalogue. Some of the highlights included Slipknot/Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor performing “Bother” with Life of Agony’s Keith Caputo; former Killswitch Engage singer Jesse Leach duetting with current vocalist Howard Jones for KsE’s “My Last Serenade”; an assortment of frontmen handling vocals for staple songs like Slipknot’s “(Sic)” and “Surfacing,” Machine Head’s “Davidian,” King Diamond’s “Abigail,” Sepultura’s “Refuse/Resist,” Type O Negative’s “Black No. 1,” Soulfly’s “Eye For an Eye” as well as four songs from the ‘Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions’ album. The double disc set also includes a 75-minute documentary, complete with interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, making it an even more intimate, fan-friendly experience.

The DVD is essential for those who’ve followed Roadrunner from its humble beginnings as a Dutch import label to the powerhouse, gold standard in hard rock and heavy metal that it has become.
