Hitting the scene in 1982 with its full length self-titled debut, Mad Max recruited vocalist Michael Voss in addition to signing with Roadrunner Records and recording its sophomore effort Rollin Thunder two years later. The group proceeded to solidify its classic line up with the additions of bassist Roland Bergmann and drummer Axel Kruse prior to putting out the Roadrunner follow up releases Stormchild (1985) and Night Of Passions (1987). The departure of Voss in 1989, however, put Mad Max on hold indefinitely. Reuniting after a ten year hiatus with Never Say Never in 1999, Mad Max maintained the momentum by signing to AOR Heaven and releasing Night Of White Rock and EP In White (both 2006) and White Sands (2007). Here We Are, the bands most recent offering from 2008, was recorded to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary by enlisting the songwriting skills of many of their colleagues in the music business. The end result is a work in which Joe Lynn Turner (track 1), Michael Schenker, Oz Fox, Jeff Scott Soto, Ken Tamplin, Axel Rudi Pell, David Readman and others join forces with Mad Max to compose the majority of its tracks. Of the albums fourteen songs you will find one all Mad Max composition and thirteen in which the guests in question either write (or co-write) the music. Voss and company help out on lyrics.
