MAD MAX Celebrate “Stories Of Destiny”
Record Release With Brand-New “Dulces Falsos” Music Video
Stories Of Destiny Out Today via ROAR
„Featuring eleven thunderous tracks that inhabit the magic space that sits somewhere between hard rock and heavy metal, Stories Of Destiny is an album that finds Mad Max in ruddy health. Mad Max aren’t dwelling on the past too much; sure, long time fans will find much to admire, yet Stories Of Destiny has its compass pointed towards the future and suggests Mad Max’s story has many more chapters to be written!“ THE MIDLANDS ROCKS (UK)
“Precise riffing meets tasteful transitions, classic guitar solos, straightforward grooves and highly infectious highlights. A clear recommendation for all hard rock fans whose hearts still beat for the great melodies and guitars of the Eighties!” METAL HAMMER (DE)
„Stories Of Destiny gives us a powerful look at where the band has been and where Jürgen wants to take it next. It preserves the original arrangements without trapping MAD MAX in the past, gives overlooked songs another chance and brings together voices from opposite ends of the band’s story. Most importantly, it sounds honest. These are real songs, played by real musicians and carrying the history of the people who created them.“ CRANNK (AU)
Today, German hard rock titans MAD MAX celebrate the record release of “Stories Of Destiny” with a brand-new music video for “Dulces Falsos.” The song marks a special first in the band’s history: it is the first MAD MAX track ever recorded with Spanish lyrics and presents their classic “Piece Of Candy” in a powerful new version.
With “Dulces Falsos,” MAD MAX pay tribute to their loyal fanbase in Latin America. New lyrics by Andreas Baesler and the Spanish vocals give the song a fresh character while preserving the energy and spirit of the original.
Band mastermind Jürgen Breforth comments: „Dulces Falsos“ is the first song we ever recorded with Spanish lyrics. With this version of our classic „Piece Of Candy“ we would like to say a very special thank you to all our fans in Latin America who have always stayed loyal to us and who have helped make the Mad Max comic a great success, especially in Colombia and Mexico.
Andreas Baesler has written a new and very up-to-date set of lyrics. The Spanish vocals give the song even more power, presence and raw energy. Many journalists see in „Dulces Falsos“ an attitude and charisma reminiscent of bands such as HEROES DEL SILENCIO for example. That makes us very proud.“

Stories Of Destiny finds MAD MAX celebrating 45 years of history while continuing to push forward with new material. Packed with powerful guitar-driven anthems, memorable melodies and timeless hard rock spirit, it combines newly recorded material, long-awaited hidden gems and collaborations with some of the most respected names in the rock and metal world. The album also introduces UK vocalist Alan Clark while welcoming original MAD MAX singer Andreas Baesler as a special guest for his first MAD MAX appearance in 45 years, creating a direct link between the band’s earliest days and its present.
Founded in Münster, Germany in 1981 by guitarist, songwriter and bandleader Jürgen Breforth, MAD MAX have remained one of Europe’s most enduring melodic hard rock and heavy metal acts for more than four decades. Renowned for their unmistakable guitar-driven sound, strong melodies and classic hard rock attitude, the band have built a loyal international following through countless albums, tours and festival appearances.
Reflecting on an extraordinary career while embracing the future, Stories Of Destiny is built around songs Breforth had the honor to co-write with acclaimed musicians including Sascha Gerstner (Helloween), David Readman (Pink Cream 69), Andreas Broon (The Sisters Of Mercy) and Michael Voss, known from his work with Michael Schenker. Reimagined and newly recorded in unmistakable MAD MAX fashion, the album captures both the band’s musical roots and their continued evolution.
The visual world of Stories Of Destiny connects to the MAD MAX comic, created by Mexican comic artist Maestro Arturo Said. The comic tells the story of the band from its founding days in 1981 through the 1980s and up to MAD MAX’s first shows in Colombia in 2023, making the album both a musical and visual celebration of the band’s legacy.
