Mandator was formed after the dissolving of Mysto Dysto towards the late 80's and after a standard first record, they released this the following year where they found more inspiration to make it possibly Holland's best offering to the table of thrash. There's definite shades of the German thrash outfits Kreator and Destruction in the sound but with less evil and more punk posturing in the vocals and tone. Also the riffs have a savage quality to them similar to Exodus or Vio-lence. You definitely couldn't play this with an elderly person nearby as their ticker wouldn't recover...

Killer tracks include the brutal "A.I.D.S." and "Brain Desire" and the more melodic title track echoing their past work in Mysto Dysto. Nothing ambitious or groundbreaking, just good honest, no nonsense style thrash with plenty of riffs for you to jive to.
