In a world ruled increasingly by superstition and intolerance, Bad Religion's 
 rousing wall-of-sound punk seems about as necessary now as ever before. It is 
 the impassioned sound of reason, anthems of a bittersweet idealism and a guarded 
 hope set to propulsive guitars and charging drumbeats. And while most groups 
 with even half the artistic output have long ago morphed into stylistic self 
 parody, Bad Religion is currently surging forward with a renewed creative 
 intensity. Their fourteenth album, entitled New Maps of Hell, is both a nod to 
 the band's defiant past and an undeniable step forward in the evolution of a 
 genre they helped to define. While many of the new songs are as brutally fast 
 and unflinchingly heartfelt as anything the band has done before, the record is 
 also filled with unexpected sounds, inventive rhythms and lush pop choruses. 
  
 "I think we're reaching back to our roots as a garage band and doing some really 
 aggressive music," guitarist and co-songwriter Brett Gurewitz says. "But we're 
 also trying to look forward and write some really interesting new rock songs." 
  
 After some years away, Gurewitz has been back in the fold for the previous two 
 records, Process of Belief and The Empire Strikes First, both discs widely 
 accepted as a return to form for the veteran band. He is again accompanying his 
 longtime friends, co songwriter and singer Greg Graffin and original bassist Jay 
 Bentley. The (slightly) newer band members read like a punk rock all star team, 
 with guitarist Greg Hetson of the legendary Circle Jerks and Brian Baker of 
 hardcore pioneers Minor Threat. The latest addition being a startling young drum 
 prodigy and sought after session drummer named Brooks Wackerman. 
  
 For this latest record, Bad Religion convened with renowned producer Joe Barresi 
 at a downtown Hollywood recording studio just blocks from so many of the 
 nightclubs and halls where the band first inspired legions of like minded young 
 malcontents amidst the vibrant eighties Los Angeles punk scene. Back then, the 
 band members had been young teen rebels from the dystopian suburbs of the nearby 
 San Fernando Valley, leather clad intelligentsia lashing out at a pervasive 
 culture of greed and conformity. And while the band might now look less like 
 brash young upstarts and more like hip college professors (singer Graffin is, in 
 fact, a college professor) - there's still a whole lot to rail against and the 
 band is undeniably up to the task. 
  
 "I think at heart, Bad Religion has always been anti establishment and about 
 open mindedness," Gurewitz says. "Since we we're kids, this country has 
 vacillated between varying degrees of anti intellectualism, machismo and 
 religiosity - maybe now more than ever. And we write with a secular humanist 
 world view which really goes against all that." 
  
 This sentiment is echoed in his lyrics to the blistering state-of-the-art 
 hardcore of Welcome to the New Dark Ages. As a frantic wall of guitars power a 
 rousing sing along chorus, Graffin's surprisingly soulful voice calls out: 
 'Welcome to the new dark ages / I hope you're living right / these are the new 
 dark ages / and the world might end tonight / So how do you sleep - there's 
 nothing to keep. This is deep / because we're animals with golden rules who 
 can't be moved by rational views.' 
  
 It is this world view which infuses so much of New Maps of Hell. But there is 
 also a sense of inner turmoil absent from the band's previous efforts. Where 
 before there had been a defiant questioning and call for change, there is now an 
 underlying sense of lost idealism - an acknowledgement that all the angry 
 protest songs in the world could not prevent the mess we're in. And as 
 unsettling as this sentiment might be for the longstanding firebrands, it has 
 undoubtedly inspired a vital and emotionally charged record. 
  
 "Living in this world can leave you with a pretty bleak outlook," Graffin says, 
 at the recording studio. "But then we still have that same naive hope we had as 
 angr
