The Madeleine Haze began as an acoustic solo project for vocalist/guitarist Zack Goebbel, primarily as a coping mechanism after drug addiction claimed the lives of both of his parents. Inspired by French novelist Marcel Proust’s story of how the taste of a madeleine cake brought forth an overwhelming rush of memories and emotions; Zack set out to use music as a way of dealing with his own pain, while also connecting with the emotions of the listener. The result was an acoustic EP entitled “In Search Of Lost Time”, which was not intended to be heard by anyone but close friends. However, local and regional radio stations began playing the song “The Albatross”, and Zack began looking to turn his project into a full band. He connected instantly with drummer Ben Carter, and after a national search for a permanent bassist, found Pete Trafalski to complete the band.
Meanwhile, they began writing new material; resulting in a hybrid of technical Progressive Metal with radio-friendly Alternative Rock hooks. This new sound has been compared to everyone from Shinedown to Kings X, and attracted the attention of record labels as well as a legion of new fans. A US tour followed, along with support appearances for bands such as Fixer, Broken Teeth, American Dog and Bulletboys. The band's appearance at the 2009 fund-raising concert in New York City for first responders of the 9/11 terrorist attacks opened their eyes to a much broader world to explore through music. Where the acoustic album was more introspective, the band decided to begin speaking out on issues that affect the entire country...and the course for the album was set.
This album, entitled A More Perfect Union, is The Madeleine Haze's unfiltered view of America. From the fast-paced call-to-action We Set Fires (inspired by the words of Samuel Adams) to the dark warnings of a society on the brink in Phantoms, the band pulls no punches with it's views on modern day politics and culture. The cover of the album features model Angelina Armani, one of the hottest stars in the adult film industry, as the personification of America. She is freedom, the natural state of humanity, emblazoned with the words of the Constitution on her body; but also desecrated and restrained, a reflection of what a corrupt government can do to our liberties. Produced by Tim Schock and David Patterson, and mastered by King's X guitarist Ty Tabor, the album is set for a March 2011 release.
Fiercely political, while refusing to align with any major political party; undoubtedly mainstream, while resisting the confines of a cookie-cutter music industry; The Madeleine Haze are the new paradigm for independent, modern Hard Rock.
"The Madeleine Haze is on the cutting edge of music that matters, not just another pop message with corporate sponsors." <>

Andrew Lansley, greedy,
Andrew Lansley, *,
the NHS is not for sale you grey haired manky codger. (x4)
So the budget of the PCTs, he wants to hand to the GP's,
Oh please. Dumb geeks are gonna buy from any willing provider,
get care from private companies.
They saw the pie and they want a piece;
Got their eyes on the P's like mice for the cheese.
I talk truth when I ride the beat, you talk * when you speak,
see money when you close your eyes to
sleep.
So fall back -- your face looks like a shrivelled up ball sack.
The stuff that you chat is bull nonsense, I'm sure Andy Pandy snorts crack.
Health minister, I mean sinister.
You know your public will finish ya,
is your brain really that miniature?
Give yourself an enema.
Made filthy rich by those who represent Walkers Crisps,
Mars and Pizza Hut, proved your a health slut and your always talking *.
A hundred and thirty four pound an hour every week, that's quite a lot of quids;
and you came to the conclusion that the food industry should be a little less strict.
Scandal disclosed that you flipped your second home.
You said your claims were within the rules, filled your pockets, took us for jokes;
so how would you cope when broke folk get ill, injured and broke,
but don't have the dough,
to get their life back on the road, so poor die slow, and the rich take control.
(Chorus x 4)
Lansley's white paper: "Liberating the NHS"
sets out a plan where we'll become more like the U.S.
and care will be farmed out to private companies,
who will sell their service to the NHS via the Gps,
who will have more to do with service purchase arrangements
than anything to do with seeing their patients.
He's been given cash
by John Nash,
chairman of Care UK:
a private healthcare provider,
who, if they have their way,
will be the biggest beneficiaries
of conservative Lib Dem policies
to privatise healthcare and pull apart the welfare state.
These plans have been slagged by patient organisations,
charities and unions,
nursing and medical institutions.
The Royal College of GPs even joined the attack,
looked closely at the proposals
and said they were nonsense.
Say yes for the NHS, Andrew Lansley can suck on David Cameron's breast.
His quest is for the rich to pay less, and the poor have to stress, it'll be one big mess.
Fighting for what cause? To them it's unknown
The sixties brought peace and love, with homage to Vietnam
The seventies was Watergate, three-mile island the tragic fate
The eighties we build our A.R.M.S., public scandals in Iran
The nineties you can be assured, bombshelters for the weak and strong.
Another bombing, another hijack,
We'll never get our hostages back, brutal murders 'till the end
Atomic safety, non-existant, Chernobyl's burning,
We won't miss it...radioactivity in their brains
Dumping toxics in the sea, Governmental heigharchy,
Killing creatures, extinct breed...
No emotions we must face, rise of the synthetic race
Building empires - demonic power...
The social class claims Democratic, slowly fading to phlegmatic
Computers rule, now we panic...
Prepared for battle, been sold for slaughter,
Say goodbye to Son and Daughter, The Future; a dying matter...
Want to live?
The choice not yours,
You've become prisoners of war, Apocalypse is now at hand...
Inflicting torture unjust to Man, merciless killings,
Throughout the Land, the holocaust - alive again...
A CALL TO ARMS
WON'T HAPPEN HERE
WITH AFGHANISTAN
AND LYBIA
nuke 'em all, make 'em glow!
The whore of the beast, ten horns from the East,
Hail from the skies, cracking the Earth,
The walls of the Cities, crumble to dust,
The nations witness the final blast,
Prophets of rage, in the last age,
Maybe we'll learn from Human remains...
The politicians' dug our grave, for mocking war our lives we gave,
The time has passed to make some peace, the guilty minds now ruled by beasts,
The World we know, does not exist, no sign of life, the future shock
In Armageddon none survive, the Human race can't be revived.
LIKE THE FINGERS KNEW WAY BACK THEN -REPUBLICANS AND LOYALISTS ARE BEING PLAYED LIKE FLUTES BY THE ELITE BANKERS, WAR MONGERERS, CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND SLEEZY OIL MERCHANTS WHO ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO ALWAYS PROFIT FROM THE MURDER AND MISERY OF THE MASSES.ITS TIME FOR US ALL TO WAKE UP AND STOP THE ROT OF HUMANITY- TAKE THE POWER BACK FOR THE GOOD OF ALL PEOPLE. ROOTS RADICALS ROCKERS AND REGGAE. ONE LOVE
stiff little fingers - suspect device

Fresh from the release of the well-recieved 'Molotov' download EP, The Bombs Of Enduring Freedom immediately set to work on a follow-up release. During this time, Obama got Osama (funny, coz we didnt think they collected bins on a Monday ?.....groan).
Following a mental media frenzy too rabid to await the construction of the next full EP, our very own Industrial Dub attack force have unleashed the destroyer of worlds (ok, speakers) in the form of the free download single (???) 'BIN LADEN IS DEAD'.
You can download this stomping distortion using the link below. Please spread this link as far and as wide as you possibly can to enable maximum speaker overload ;
A collage video to accompany the track is currently being created by Matthias Fritsch - the maker of the world-famous 'Techno Viking' internet meme ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techno_Viking ) - keep an eye on www.deathtomusic.com for notice of this. _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, ooh taking toll
If you've been bad - Oh Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit oh by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, aahaouho bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
