He is currently the bassist/backing vocalist for his own band, Violent New Breed.

Green was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and moved to Pahrump, Nevada, when he was in 4th grade.

After living there for three years, he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Green has played guitar since his childhood and dreamed of becoming a professional musician.

During his teenage years, Green began playing the bass guitar, inspired by the albums Progress, Resignation and ... And the Battle Begun by the band RX Bandits.

He borrowed many ideas for his music from Spencer Chamberlain's (singer of Underoath) screamed vocal technique.

As a teenager, Green participated in several bands as a bassist.

After meeting fellow musician Ronnie Radke in high school, the two formed the band True Story, which later formed into the first-lineup Escape the Fate.

Green is best known for his work in Escape the Fate.

He left the band and joined Falling in Reverse which he also left only months after

joining.

He is now the founder of a band called Violent New Breed.

Green formed Escape the Fate with Ronnie Radke and Monte Money in mid-2002.

After joining the post-hardcore music scene in Las Vegas, the band managed to win a contest to open up for My Chemical Romance which led to the band signing with Epitaph Records and recorded their first album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, which was released in September 2006.

Following the arrest of Ronnie Radke, the band replaced Radke with Craig Mabbitt from Blessthefall, and released their second album, This War Is Ours.

After many international tours, the band had garnered popularity worldwide, and signed with major label Interscope Records.

They made their major label debut with their third album, titled Escape the Fate, in November 2010.

In November 2010, Green overdosed on heroin, and was removed from Escape the Fate.

This resulted in the band being forced to cancel their tours in Europe with Bullet for My Valentine.

Soon after the cancellation of these tours, it was widely rumored that Green had left the band.

Green later returned to the band.

On March 4, 2012, Max Green stated on his Twitter account that he was no longer playing in Escape the Fate due to personal and musical differences.

Mabbitt hinted in an interview with Alternative Press that Green's departure was due to drugs.

TJ Bell, former rhythm guitarist of Motionless in White, replaced Green in the position of bassist.

After his departure from Escape the Fate, Green joined as rhythm guitarist and vocalist of the band The Natural Born Killers with Clayton Ryan as lead vocalist (formerly with A Smile From The Trenches), Brent Ashley as bassist (formerly with Wayne Static Current), Philip Kross as lead guitarist (formerly with Vampires Everywhere) and Farahn Gaiter as drummer (formerly with In The Name Of).

The band played their first show on May 6, 2012, in Hollywood.

On October 6, 2012.

the band released their debut EP "Oblivion" and after Max Green left in late 2012, the band disbanded.

On July 10, 2013, Green reunited with Escape the Fate for a one-off show playing This War Is Ours.

In July of that year, Green announced during an interview to Alternative Press that he had been sober for 58 days and that the "old Max is back".

It was announced on September 16, 2013, that Green would be returning to bass for Escape the Fate's tour with Five Finger Death Punch; Green was brought back when the band's guitarist, Monte Money, had refused to go on tour.

On October 28, 2013, Craig Mabbitt announced in an interview with Ronnie Radke that Green was officially back in Escape the Fate, with Max joining as the bassist/backing vocalist, TJ Bell moving to rhythm guitarist, and Kevin Thrasher joining as the lead guitarist.

On May 9, 2014, Green announced his second departure from the band, citing lack of fulfillment and passion as reasons.

On May 12, 2014, it was announced that Green had joined Ronnie Radke's band, Falling in Reverse.

Along with Green's arrival, Falling in Reverse bassist Ron Ficarro exited the band.

“Ron was probably the best bass player I've ever played with,” says Ronnie Radke, “but at this moment in time I feel it is best to part ways with him.

I respect him and wish nothing but the best for him.

Max quitting Escape the Fate was like a godsend.

It was a no brainer to have him join.
