Born from the New York hardcore lineage surrounding Agnostic Front, ‘Set It Off’ captures Madball at their raw and formative peak. Originally emerging as a side project with Freddy Cricien stepping up to the mic, the band quickly carved out their own identity. Released in 1994, the album documents a pivotal moment in East Coast hardcore, blending streetwise aggression with groove-heavy riffs and a thick, doomy undercurrent that set them apart from their peers.

On ‘Set It Off’, Madball balance breakneck bursts with crushing mid-tempo stomps, giving tracks like "Set It Off" a dynamic push-and-pull that emphasizes their riff-driven power. "Down by Law" anchors the record with pounding drums and a weighty, metallic edge, while songs like "New York City" and "Face to Face" reinforce the band’s connection to their scene and roots. Subtle sound effects add texture without diluting the intensity. Direct, confrontational, and grounded in hardcore ethos, ‘Set It Off’ stands as a foundational statement in 1990s NYHC.
