UMUR
"Demo 2017" is the first demo release by US, Virginia based thrash metal/crossover thrash metal act Enforced. The demo was independently released in March 2017. Enforced formed in 2016 and released this demo and the December 2017 "Retaliation" demo before being signed for the release of their debut full-length studio album "At the Walls" (July 2019, War Records). "At the Walls" however only features two new original tracks, while the remaining tracks on the album are remixed and remastered versions of the tracks from this demo and from the "Retaliation" demo.

The demo features four tracks and a total playing time of 10:30 minutes. It´s harsh, ultra aggressive, and sharp hardcore tinged thrash metal. It´s like listening to a sharper and more aggressive version of Cro-Mags. It´s definitely the furious energy and caustic aggression which are in the high seat, although Enforced aren´t bad musicians either. They can both play and compose effective songs. "Demo 2017" features a raw, aggressive, and sharp sounding production, which suits the material perfectly, so upon conclusion it´s a good quality first demo by Enforced and a 3.5 star (70%) is deserved.
