“The music seethes with no method ahead, because the world round you burns in acid fireplace; you’d moderately die along with your dignity than having some bastard swimsuit step over you want a chunk of rubbish, solely remembering you as ‘collateral harm’ and never the human being you as soon as had been. They do not care about you. Look out for your self. Behind a poison smile, decline in denial.”

“We did not overthink something,” says Enforced front-man Knox Colby, describing the ethic that went into the making of the Richmond, Virginia-based quintet’s third album, Battle Stays. “It is all very straight ahead, no bells and whistles production-wise. It is virtually ten minutes shorter than our final report and packs ten occasions extra of a punch.”
Blazing out of the pandemic, Enforced carved a path all through North America and Europe, sharing phases with the likes of Obituary, Municipal Waste and Exhumed in addition to festivals like Maryland Deathfest and France’s Hellfest. With that bloodied street behind them, Enforced set metallic customary with their power-of-the-riff-wreck-your-neck tackle traditional thrash and crossover hardcore from the identical pissed-off hometown womb that had given the world the likes of GWAR and Lamb of God.

It spills by way of the report. In the event you’re a fan of actually aggressive music, you are gonna like it. It is seething!”
