Today, Austrian glam metal rockers Mädhouse release their hotly-anticipated, new studio album "Plead The Fifth" via ROAR. Now available on CD, limited Vinyl (incl. signed photocard) and in Digital formats, you can order your favorite choice of format via: https://madhouse.rpm.link/pleadthe5thPR

Formed in 2017 by Mikky Stixx, Mädhouse's origins trace back to a spontaneous Hard N' Heavy show, where 18 rock musicians gathered, leading to the band’s creation. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, and Ratt, Mädhouse blends the raw energy of classic glam metal with a modern hard rock edge. Their sound is unmistakable—gritty riffs, anthemic choruses, and an unapologetic attitude that demand attention. Since their debut, the band has continuously evolved while staying true to their wild, rebellious spirit.

The band's first album, "Money Talks Bullshit Walks" (2019), introduced their high-energy style, followed by "Bad Habits" (2021), a more polished and aggressive follow-up. They further refined their sound with "Down 'N' Dirty" (2022), and now, their latest release, "Plead The Fifth", pushes the boundaries even further with heavier riffs, bolder lyrics, and an electrifying presence!

Known for their explosive live performances and larger-than-life stage presence, Mädhouse continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The current line-up features Tommy Lovelace on vocals, Mikky Stixx and Thommy Black on guitars and backing vocals, Rickey Dee on bass, and Bobby B Bastard on drums. Together, they keep the spirit of glam metal alive, delivering high-octane rock that never backs down. With "Plead The Fifth", they prove once again that glam metal is far from dead — it’s louder, bolder, and wilder than ever. Turn up the volume, join the madness, and let rock ‘n’ roll reign!
