Punk rock institution BAD RELIGION began recording NEW MAPS OF HELL, the follow-up to 2004's heralded THE EMPIRE STRIKES FIRST at Grand Master Studios in Los Angeles in mid-February, just as Greg Graffin was giving midterms at his other job: professor of Life Sciences at UCLA. The lead singer and co-writer laughs, "when I was an undergrad and a graduate student at UCLA, I used to play and write with Bad Religion at night. Now, I'm back to that schedule as a professor."

Slated for a July 10 release, NEW MAPS OF HELL is co-written with Epitaph head Brett Gurewitz, and produced by Grammy-nominated producer Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer). Much of the new material will be debuted to expectant crowds on the main stage of the 2007 Van Warped Tour. Gurewitz states, ;we all liked the concept of maps, because we are exploring new material on this record, both musically and topically." Quite a feat for a band that has been around for 25+ years.

Recently, following a successful tour of Canada with the Dropkick Murphys at the end of 2006, the revered punk band also headlined the kickoff event for the upcoming Warped Tour exhibit, Warped: 12 Years of Music, Mayhem and More at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on January 26th in Cleveland, Ohio.

In addition to writing for Bad Relgion, Graffin recently authored a book with Arkansas history professor Preston Jones. Provocatively titled Is Belief In God Good, Bad or Irrelevant? A Professor and A Punk Rocker Discuss Science, Religion, Naturalism and Christianity (IVP Books), the tome catalogs the email correspondence between the two. Jones, a seminal punk fan, initially contacted Graffin by email, prompting the conversations that spawned the book.

Considered Epitaph's flagship band, Bad Religion recorded for several major labels before returning to their indie home in 2001. NEW MAPS OF HELL is their 14th full-length release.
