MADHOUSE – Plead The Fifth (2025) *HQ*
Back in the heyday of Heavy metal, you had the Big Four. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax. In Glam Metal / Hair Metal you had RATT, Motley Crue, Poison and Warrant. The times have changed… have they? The bands we all grew up on may be out on nostalgia tours, drawing crowds and still stating they are from the streets of L.A. But now, if you want that scene once again, one must look across the big blue pond, because on the other side, it is alive and thriving well.
”Plead The Fifth”, released to the public next July 11th on Rock Of Angels Records, is the fourth album from the Austrian band MADHOUSE. Full of gritty riffs, anthemic choruses, and pure, unapologetic, in-your-face attitude, Mädhouse joins the members of the new “Big Four” in the world of melodic hard rock.
Everyone knows Crazy Lixx, H.E.A.T and Hardcore Superstar, but Mädhouse proves on ”Plead The Fifth” that they also deserve a top spot in the echelon of newer bands from the genre. Mädhouse shows the aging bands from the L.A. scene that what they started will be continued, and will be done right.
Yes folks, ”Plead The Fifth” is one of the best ’80-style melodic hard / glam metal albums of the year.
