Sweden’s ENFORCER are a True Metal band that have snuck onto my all-time favorite list for good reason. They kick unbelievable Metal ass from here to Orion’s Belt! Today, I want to spread the Metal word of ENFORCER to you all, with their incredible song: Undying Evil. This song is featured on ENFORCER‘s superior studio album released earlier this year, via Nuclear Blast: From Beyond.

The music video below is filled with live ENFORCER footage, a hot female vampire, blood, sexual situations, brief nudity and unreal great Metal. What more can we ask for than that? Metal Be Thy Name!!

As a Metal bonus, I have also included the (Official) Lyric Video for Undying Evil. The lyrics to this song are pretty amazing too, I might add. Read along, sing along and crank ‘er up all you Metal Muthas!!

ENFORCER:

Olof Wikstrand – Vocals/Guitars

Jonas Wikstrand – Drums

Joseph Tholl – Guitars

Tobias Lindkvist – Bass

  1. Destroyer
  2. Undying Evil

ENFORCER – FREE Download Of New Track “MESMERIZED BY FIRE”!

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, Metal, metal albums, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on December 24, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Enforcer - Mesmerized By Fire - promo cover pic!

In advance of their new studio album “Death By Fire” (out: February, 1st), ENFORCER release a free download for their new track “Mesmerized By Fire” today.

Click HERE!

On January, 18th “Mesmerized By Fire” will also be released on a limited vinyl version:

Tracklist:
A: Mesmerized By Fire
B: You Can Be (non album track)

Olof Wikstrand comments: 

“Mesmerized by Fire” is more or less the title track from the “Death By Fire” album. I think within four minutes it captures pretty much everything about Enforcer: intensity and power mixed with a touch of melody and melancholy. The B-side is a cover of Nagazaki’s “You Can Be”. It is a track with mega potential from a band that unfortunately never made it in the 80s.”

ENFORCER – Sign With NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS And Announce New Album!

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, Metal, metal albums, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on November 30, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Enforcer - Group Promo Banner - Logo - 2012

The Swedish Heavy Metal blood brothers of ENFORCER recently signed a new worldwide record deal with Nuclear Blast Records. Their new album is called Death By Fire and will be released on February, 1st.

Bandleader, vocalist and guitar player Olof Wikstrand comments: “It feels great to finally have finished this long-awaited third ENFORCER record. Now with Nuclear Blast on board we’re gonna make sure to spread it to every corner of this planet. You can expect nothing but the total, self defining ENFORCER record.”

Nuclear Blast head of A&R, Andy Siry says: “We’ve been following the career of ENFORCER since their debut album, because from there on, they formed the spearhead of a new, young generation of traditionally influenced Metal. We’re impressed by the bands consequent and authentic appearance, whether on stage, concerning their sound, their image and so on. This reminds of the atmosphere of departure and the rebellion, Heavy Metal represented at the beginning of the 80’s. ENFORCER have got that special something, represent their ideals and they know what they want. We’re looking forward to the upcoming CD and a long successful cooperation.”

As reported on Angel Witch facebook:

Since we have restricted our UK dates to London shows (plus the occasional Bloodstock or Hard Rock Hell) we thought it was about time we did some out of town dates.  So we have teamed up with the Live Evil crew to present their first run of actual tour dates: “Into the Dark 2012”.

We are very happy to be bringing ENFORCER over from Sweden to join us on this run – we’ve played with them a number of times all over Scandinavia and have always had a great time both watching their set and having a pint.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Enforcer/65508702824

To Open proceedings – AGE OF TAURUS slow motion heavy metal from London town with riffs galore.  Anyone who saw them recently with Electric Wizard can attest to the fact that Doom Metal really is not dead.
