Mandatory – Catharsis

All-in-all MANDATORY have showed me that I should listen to more melodic death-metal, as I thoroughly enjoyed “Cartharsis”. I know that any other fan of metal would, easily. Great work and an excellently heavy effort.

“Catharsis” is an album that brings heavy and catchy sounds together as many bands have done before them. But Mandatory has an excellent style that some bands just can’t create.

The writing is dead on in every way, telling the story that is there without leaving you woundering where part 2 is.
