Enforcer
Enforcer is one of many bands borrowing heavily from the heyday
of speed/thrash metal.
On
Into The Night, their 2008 debut,
the style is a mix of mid-eighties speed metal,
a bit of
Kill 'Em All-era
Metallica,
and a healthy dose of early
Iron Maiden
("Black Angel" is the best example of the latter),
plenty of harmonized leads, clear higher-pitched vocals, and
general thrashing about,
bolstered by a clear, modern production that still allows the songs to
breathe.
Although they tend to stick to their influences just a bit too much,
there's some potential here, as the band is energetic, tight, and clearly
loving what they do.
