Dutch thrash/speed metal band, originally named Mysto Dysto; released Initial Velocity (1988) and Perfect Progeny (1989).

Changed name from Mysto Dysto to Mandator; Initial Velocity (1988) mixes speed and thrash and features the song "Black Rose"; Perfect Progeny (1989) is described as a harsher, pure thrash album. Singer Peter Meijering left and guitarist Marcel Verdurmen took over vocals on Perfect Progeny.

Mandator is a Dutch thrash/speed metal group (originally Mysto Dysto) discussed here through two reviews. Initial Velocity (1988) is noted for its balance of speed and thrash and the standout track "Black Rose." Perfect Progeny (1989) is described as a harsher, pure thrash follow-up with a vocalist change. Both reviews value the band as underrated.

For:Fans of 1980s European thrash and speed metal; collectors of underrated metal bands.

 Listening to Dutch death metal bands, you immediately notice that the guitars sound very dry and abrasive, a constant grinding that goes za-za-za-za za-za-za-za za-za-za-za without mercy or prisoners, all the bands that come to mind: Pestilence (woe to not mention them first), Gorefest, Sinister, and Asphyx, especially Asphyx!

 The style proposed by the group alternates classic European thrash with mid-80s speed (like "Walls of Jericho" for instance) throughout the tracklist, with the balance leaning towards one of the two (sub)genres depending on the individual songs.
