Albums Compliance Is Compulsory, mini album

Press Reviews Kerrang- 21 new bands you much hear... Glasgow noiseniks, taking metal to new heights of insanity. Madman Is Absolute kick up a chaotic whirlwind of breakneck rifferama, melodic leads and scatterbrain drum work. 3/5 WWW.Scruffster.co.uk "This CD is another shot in the arm for a thrash metal resurgence that never looked even remotely likely a few years ago, Compliance Is Compulsory is a remarkably fresh well produced assault on the genre with a relentlessness that falls somewhere between the Swedethrash of The Haunted and the thrashcore stomp of Stampin' Ground with a pinch of Vulgar Display of Pantera style choppy rhythmical riffage in there for good measure". Terrorizer- "Madman have finally been done justice on record. Now you have no excuse for not understanding why their praises are sung by musicians, critics and fans alike" 9.5/10
