Madball – Demonstrating My Style

Released in 1996, Demonstrating My Style is the second album by Madball, one of the cornerstone bands of New York hardcore.

With origins tied to Agnostic Front, the group solidifies its signature sound here: sharp, aggressive riffs, heavy rhythm sections, and raw, direct vocals. The album blends old-school hardcore energy with elements of groove metal, shaping a heavier hardcore sound that would influence the scene in the years to come. Tracks like “Pride (Times Are Changing),” “True To The Game,” and the title track assert a confrontational and identity-driven stance, balancing precision with brute force. Demonstrating My Style is widely regarded as one of Madball’s defining works and a landmark in the evolution of 1990s New York hardcore.
