Reception

DJ Arcanus of Lollipop Magazine gave Death of the Format a mixed review, saying "SMP (Sounds of Mass Production) delivers on the promise of "Metal Madness" with these five minutes of hard driving beats that layer metal aggression (and a delightfully wanky guitar solo) over a dance/industrial skeleton, along the lines of Pain or Rammstein." ^[3]
