JADED HEART: New Album Details Revealed; Audio Samples Available

August 26, 2009

Frontiers Records has set an October 16 release date for the tenth JADED HEART studio album entitled "Perfect Insanity".

Formed in 1990 by singer and songwriter Michael Bormann (ex-BONFIRE) and his brother Dirk Bormann (guitar),JADED HEART's lineup was completed the following year when Michael Müller (bass, ex-THE SYGNET) and former MAD MAX drummer Axel Kruse joined the band.

JADED HEART's breakthrough album, "Slaves And Masters", was their second and was released in 1997. This record stayed in the Japanese Top Ten import charts for four months and in their home country of Germany the band was featured on several national TV shows on RTL, PRO 7 and many more. After that, JADED HEART went out on a big tour with AXXIS and HEAVEN'S GATE that staged more than 40 concerts throughout Europe.

After the release of "Trust", JADED HEART's fifth album, in 2003, the band and frontman Michael Bormann decided to part ways and the new Swedish frontman Johan Fahlberg (ex-SCUDIERO) joined, giving the following album, "Helluva Time" (2005),a fresher approach.

The band showed that they could stand on their legs after Bormann's departure and after "Helluva Time"'s release, the group toured as support for German metalheads HELLOWEEN in the south of Europe (Italy, Spain, France) and did a successful headlining tour all over Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. Peter Ostros, a longtime friend of the guys, joined JADED HEART on guitar, adding new influences to the band's music.

Following the 2007 release of "Sinister Mind", JADED HEART headed back to the studio in 2009 for the new album, which they christened "Perfect Insanity". "The concept has to do with all the things happening in this world right now, a 'perfect insanity,'" explains drummer Axel Kruse. "Everyone is just thinking about himself, and not about how to change all this shit that's going on right now (wars/economic crisis etc.)." The CD was once again produced by Michael Voss (MAD MAX, VOICES OF ROCK),with Chris Lausmann handling the mixing/editing and Dennis Ward doing the mastering. "Musically the style we're gonna do right now is a so-called mix of traditional hard rock and melodic metal, played with faith and heart!! Great production and sound!!" says Axel.
