Live for the metal...

Genre: traditional heavy metal

Enforcer is part of the Swedish retro metal wave (or, it's a global phenomenon, I suppose), and on this their sophomore album, they draw extensively on the styles of metal associated with the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

And I think they are doing a very good job of it. Stylistically, the tracks are reminiscent of early Iron Maiden (especially "Iron Maiden" and "Killers" as well as the singles they released in the same period) with an injection of influence from bands like Judas Priest, Salem and Satan, while other tracks. What I like about this release is that Enforcer really manage to capture the energy of the more upbeat and aggressive metal from the early 80s.

As with many of the other retro metal bands these days, I really appreciate that Enforcer keep classic 80s metal and all its wonderful elements alive. And, as I said, they do a great job of it, too.

Recommended to fans of good old 80s metal!
