ROCK JUSTICE is a new hard rock/metal act featuring singer Maggy Luyten (Ayreon, Beautiful Sin, The Prize, ex-Nightmare) and guitarist Bas Maas (Doro, After Forever).
The upcoming debut album, You've Been Served, is the result of Bas Maas's long-held dream. He teamed up with Maggy Luyten to shape the powerful, driving sound of ROCK JUSTICE. The album blends varied song styles, tied together by a nostalgic vibe and well-crafted production.
The musical direction was clear: Rock 'n' Roll!! Anything between hard rock and metal was welcome as long as it came from the heart. With '70s and '80s hard rock and metal running through their veins, the chemistry felt natural. "The enthusiasm we feel when listening to what we've created and the belief that these songs deserve to be heard, made starting a band feel natural," says Maggy, who values the freedom to write lyrics and melodies. "Most ideas came naturally. I'm used to writing melodies over prog-based music and Bas writes riffs that feel like a highway for vocals, lots of space and freedom. The lyrics are based on personal experiences that I hope others can relate to when they need it."
Today, ROCK JUSTICE release their first single, along with a video clip for the track "You Know Better".
ROCK JUSTICE is completed by bass player Nick McGrath, a close friend of Bas since the late '90s, known for playing with ACinDC, one of the most renowned AC/DC tribute bands. Drummer Mischa Aussems joined late in the process. "We were planning to use programmed drums, but Nick convinced us to give Mischa a shot. He absolutely nailed it, so we kept him and his recordings," says Bas, who is more than happy with the natural, dynamic, yet old-school sound.
„You've Been Served" was produced by Bas Maas, co-produced by Maggy Luyten, and mixed and mastered by Luca Princiotta (Doro, a.o.). The album will be released on June 26th, 2026, via Fireflash Records (Holy Moses, Wolf, a.o.). It's an album meant to inspire, lift spirits and celebrate life. For Maggy and Bas, the goal is clear: "To touch people, bring positive energy and keep real shit alive, now more than ever!"
