MANDATORY

MANDATORY is a progressive death / thrash metal band from Linz / Austria. After releasing their critically acclaimed 4-track EP “Concept of Chaos” in 2006, the band introduced Mike Schedelberger as new lead vocalist in late 2008. While touring the country the following year, MANDATORY began writing and self-producing songs for their debut album “CARBON BLACK” which the band celebrated with a successful release show in November 2009. Vocalist Mike soon realized he had different musical ambitions and quit the band in early 2010. Fortunately the band quickly found a replacement in the long time friend and fan of the band Max Hundsberger.
