With Enforcer's debut 'Into the Night', these talented Swedes set our their NWOBHM and classic rock inspired stall, but now with their second album 'Diamonds they've hugely surpassed any previous potential they had shown and are now once again set to rage across Europe are with gigs a plenty over the coming months proving to everyone that true Heavy Metal is back and that Enforcer are spearheading that revival along with Earache contemporaries Cauldron and White Wizzard!

Album Notes
This Swedish retro metal act continues its pursuit of an early-'80s ideal on its second album, if possible becoming even more committed to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal sound than on 2008's Into the Night. As on the debut, there's a formula – lyrics about sex and partying ("Midnight Vice," "Live for the Night," "High Roller") and occasionally violence, combat, and other macho topics ("Katana," "Take Me to Hell," "Running in Menace"); high-pitched vocals; pulsing basslines in the vein of Iron Maiden's Steve Harris; and energetic drumming, stinging guitar solos, and singalong choruses. The title track is a galloping instrumental. Fans of old-school metal will find this a pleasing throwback thrill; modern-day metal kids too young to remember the bands and albums Enforcer are paying tribute to will find these songs weirdly catchy and utterly lacking in breakdowns, downtuned riffing, or moaned lyrics about adolescent existential despair. There's no emo or thick-necked hardcore/death metal bro-hood to be heard here; this is pure escapist pleasure. ~ Phil Freeman
A pure old-school heavy metal album of the highest caliber, Diamonds is Enforcer at their best. Recorded, mixed and mastered 100% analog with no triggers, samples or any other phony modern studio techniques to deliver an old-school heavy metal album the way it was intended to sound!
