MadHouse is an Italian female-fronted alternative rock/metal band, formed in 2012, captained by the charismatic singer Federica Tringali and the guitarist Filippo Anfossi.

Federica decided to christen the band MadHouse, in order to highlight the existing parallelism between art and madness.

 

Basing her lyrics on strong and direct life experiences, she wrote numerous songs of great potential.

Four of these tracks have been chosen to be part of the EP "You Want More" published in 2015 (under ICM label) and produced by one of the leading Italian producers Marco Barusso (Lacuna Coil, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Coldplay).

"You Want More" received immediate recognition by critics and got a considerable airplay from various FM and web radios in Italy, Germany, Spain and UK.

  

MadHouse entered the studio to work on their first full-length this time under the artistic direction of Eddy Cavazza best known for his work with artists such as Anthony Phillips (Genesis), John Wetton (King Crimson), Dino Cazares (Fear Factory, Brujeria), Logan Mader (Machine Head), Tue Madsen (Meshuggah), Dan Korneff (Breaking Benjamin, Paramore, Papa Roach, Lamb of God and My Chemical Romance).

“MadHouse Hotel”, released on March 29th 2019, for DysFUNCTION Record Label and Productions, is a 10 tracks concept album about different experiences we have to face in our lives. Every song represents a hotel room in which the listeners choose to stop in order to look for their own dimension. Listening to the song means getting the key of the room.

"MadHouse Hotel" got a worldwide airplay and it received several national and international credit and awards.

The band then promoted the album with a live tour that saw them play many Italian and European cities.

 

In January 2023 the band releases its third album produced by Eddy Cavazza for Silent Ghost Production (USA) under Nadir Music label.

"Secret Antithesis" draws inspiration from the works of M.C. Escher and illustrates how several facets of a person's psyche can coexist, frequently at odds with one another. The human soul is intricate and is made up of opposites that somehow complement one another while they coexist.

The new full-length is anticipated by the release of the single and video clip of the track Voodoo Doll.

The band has also performed at festivals such as Metal Valley Open Air, Bloodstream International Music Festival UK, Metalland Sky Metal Fest and many live shows touring in Italy, UK and Europe.
