New Maps of Hell, Bad Religion's fourteenth studio album, came out on Epitaph on July 10, 2007, three years after The Empire Strikes First. Talk of a double album in 2006 came to nothing (bassist Jay Bentley shot the rumor down), and the record waited while the band kept touring and Greg Graffin put out a solo album. Joe Barresi produced it, and it's the third Bad Religion record since the band came home to Epitaph and Brett Gurewitz rejoined.
The formula hasn't budged and doesn't need to: Graffin's clear-eyed bark, three guitars (Gurewitz, Greg Hetson and Brian Baker) buzzing like a downed power line, Brooks Wackerman's drums at a full sprint, and those three-part harmonies stacked on top. "New Dark Ages" is the fist in the air, and it later turned up in the video game NHL 2K9.
