NYHC kings Madball have finished the recording of their upcoming new album, For The Cause. The record is currently being mixed and mastered by renowned producer Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studios in Denmark.

The band has announced that legendary rapper/actor/frontman Ice-T (Body Count) is to guest on one track. 

Commented Ice-T: "It's an honor to record with the legendary Madball. Body Count draws its closest similarities to NY Hardcore. This is a natural."

Added Freddy Cricien: "It's truly an honor to have Ice-T on our record! I grew up on his music from his early hip hop stuff till now. He's an iconic figure but also a 'class act', you don't always get both at once. Ice has a great respect for NYHC and Madball, means the world. This was meant to happen.... real recognizes real."
