During his teenage years, Green began playing the bass guitar, inspired by the albums Progress, Resignation and ... And the Battle Begun by the band RX Bandits.

On March 4, 2012, Max Green stated on his Twitter account that he was no longer playing in Escape the Fate due to personal and musical differences.

After his departure from Escape the Fate, Green joined as rhythm guitarist and vocalist of the band The Natural Born Killers with Clayton Ryan as lead vocalist (formerly with A Smile From The Trenches), Brent Ashley as bassist (formerly with Wayne Static Current), Philip Kross as lead guitarist (formerly with Vampires Everywhere!)

In July of that year, Green announced during an interview to Alternative Press that he had been sober for 58 days and that the "old Max is back".

Green adds: “Reuniting with longtime friend Ronnie Radke in his band Falling in Reverse feels nothing but right at this time in my life.

[10] In 2013 before rejoining Escape the Fate, Max formed a band called Violent New Breed and released 2 demo tracks titled "Here We Are" and "Freight Train".

After parting ways with Escape the Fate and a short stint with Falling in Reverse in 2014, Green began Violent New Breed the following year.

Shortly after its launch, he gave a preview of the new project with several demos including "Only the Strong Survive",[11] "Casket Dream"[12] and "Devil’s Deal".

The band marked their comeback by recruiting Light the Torch vocalist Howard Jones for “Bury Me” their first single off Bad Reputation.

[15] Following second single “Before I Fall” in August, they're now sharing a third, “Worth It.” The new track mixes emotion-tinged melodic vocals with face-melting riffs, striking the perfect balance.

[16] Days ahead of their premiere album release and the first collection of work with their new lineup, the band are now sharing “Crazy" video The track opens with muted riffs before blasting into high-energy instrumentation with gritty vocals.

[18] Green was a judge at a local battle of the bands held at University Theatre in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the Seventh Plague was competing.
