Neurodiesel 03:30.36 ] biography.: | The band was formed in the mid-1990s by renaming the legendary industrial project Střední Evropa as part of its shift from industrial to grindcore and similar styles. Name referred to the fact that there was a maximum allowable concentration of freaks among the band members. While focused mainly on live shows, at the turn of the millennium they also recorded studio album The One and in 2006 added a second album Badluck. In 2010, the band opened for Atari Teenage Riot, a legend of the genre. The guitarist role was eventually taken over by Daniel Gerner, whose technical prowess and ability to incorporate both aggressive elements and sophisticated nuances made him an indispensable part of the band's soundscape. The lineup eventually settled down when Jana von Habczak, sweet lolita with Satan in her throat, became the face of the band, taking on the full role of singer and frontwoman, and dj Narcopolo, known for his incredible stunts with loops and fx, took over the beats and everything electric. Later, when founding member Petr Trpák announced his retirement, the band invited Daniel Rodný, once a pioneer of Czech electro scene, to join them. Rodný welcomed the offer and became a regular member. In 2024, 17 years after the second album Badluck, they have together recorded the third studio album Keep Music Evil. M.A.C. of Mad have developed a distinctive sound that stems from the fusion of hellish female vocals with frantic beats, bestially brute guitar riffs and caustic harmonies. Their digital hardcore revels in unusual and uncomfortable approaches, and played with punk attitude and zero respect for any rules it sounds like an obscure, coarse-grained, all-absorbing mass of molten magma rolling straight from hell to shatter your afternoon siesta.
