Ode to the Underground
Enforcer are the leaders of a new generation of metal bands that remain true to the roots of metal in terms of setting, sound and appearance. A hint towards modern bands, as they were particularly mid-00s-years popular.
The “Kings of the Underground Tour” will happen in Europe next May. “Enforcer”, “Skull Fist” and “Ambush” joined forces, and have shows confirmed in Germany, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Austria and Spain.
Olof, singer and guitarist of “Enforcer” says:
“We are super happy to announce this amazing tour that we’ve been working on for a while now. “Enforcer”, “Skull Fist” and “Ambush”, three of the greatest bands of a new generation of heavy metal for you all! We in the “Enforcer” camp are gonna make sure to hit you up with some major hits from our entire catalogue, something of a best of from new and old celebrating 15 years of “Enforcer”.
And Zach Slaughter from “Skull Fist” adds:
“When the party is over and all the bragging rights are gone, some of us are left standing, some of us are not. At this point it’s all for spiritual glory haha We’ll see you in May Europe with some of the guys that are still left standing!”

There’s never been 4 years between two “Enforcer” records, but remember ‘Soon ripe, soon rotten’! “The first thing we agreed on, even before we had any songs for »Zenith«,” explains Olof, “was to just not do Another album but to do the biggest heavy metal album of all time without any type of limitations. The new album »Zenith« is definitely the most ambitious project we ever engaged ourselves in. I think all together we spent over two and a half years to write, produce and record it all,” he confirms. “That‘s why we made ourselves scarce on the world’s stages for a while too.” Once again recorded and produced by “Enforcer” themselves, the drums have been recorded at Soundtrade Studios, Stockholm whilst the rest of the tracking was completed at Hvergelmer Studios, Arvika, including new permanent guitar player Jonathan Nordwall. Their new approach is also reflected in the album artwork, which was created by Italian artist Velio Josto. The quartet have simply refused to be pigeonholed since they formed in Arvika, Sweden in 2004.
“Enforcer”‘s new album, “Zenith”, is out April 26th
