[5] On April 11, it was announced that the title of the upcoming album was Hardcore Lives, and that it would be released on June 27, 2014.

Vocalist Freddy Cricien commented on the album title, saying: I shouted 'Hardcore Lives' on MADBALL's first release, 'Ball Of Destruction'.

Back then, there was no choice, really, not the way we were recording — two-track live at Don Fury's... NYHC style!

That said, 'Hardcore Lives', at least to us, is not just about a cool 'catchphrase,' it's about that rebellious spirit that doesn't give in... in life, music, whatever.

It's for everyone and anyone with an open mind and heart.On April 25, a lyric video for the song "DNA" was released.
