When in doubt, talk to a band about something really, really stupid. Once, we were talking to someone about Madina Lake and they heard, “Madeira Cake.” We told Matthew Leone and he laughed so we asked him what his Top 6 cakes are. Amazingly, he couldn’t actually think of six different cakes. Birthday? Christmas? Victoria sponge? NO? Ok.
Madina Lake are releasing their third album today. It’s called World War III and we thought it wise to catch up with Matthew Leone and ask him about the last album in the Adalia trilogy, the band’s plans for their future and just find out how he’s getting on after the horrific attack on him in 2010.

From the powerful opening moments of ‘Howdy Neighbour!’, it’s clear that Madina Lake are back. After a horrendous couple of years, it appears that the Chicago quartet is back and ready to complete the Adalia trilogy with the intriguingly titled World War III.
