Bio:
For Madina Lake, World War III closes one chapter and opens another. The
Chicago quartet of twin brothers Nathan [Vocals] and Matthew Leone [Bass,
Vocals], Mateo Camargo [Guitar, Programming], and Dan Torelli [Drums] has
endured more in the past two years than most artists will experience over

his wife. He ended up in a coma for five days with a fractured skull, broken

order for the swelling in his brain to go down. Musicians and the world came
