Enforcer (SE)

About

Enforcer are a Swedish heavy metal band from Arvika, and they wear their influences proudly. Firmly planted in the new wave of traditional heavy metal, they play the kind of speed driven, riff heavy metal that echoes the classic sounds of the NWWBHM era. When asked about playing "old school", they put it simply: heavy metal is not old school, it is timeless. Since debuting with Into the Night in 2008, they have built a solid catalogue across six studio albums, with Nostalgia arriving in 2023. Released through labels like Earache Records, albums such as Diamonds and Death by Fire helped cement their reputation well beyond Sweden. The band has seen lineup changes over the years, with American bassist Garth Condit joining in 2022, and they showed up at the Hell's Heroes festival in Houston in 2025, keeping their live presence very much alive.
