1. A heavy metal band formed … Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists with this name:
1. A heavy metal band formed in Arvika, Sweden, 2004, currently based in Stockholm. They have released five full length albums, are active and currently signed to Nuclear Blast records.
Enforcer plays and performs in a style very similar to older speed metal bands like Agent Steel, Exciter and Anvil. When the Sweden Rock Magazine asked them about playing 'old school', they answered "heavy metal isn't old school, it's timeless". After releasing two demos in 2005 (which were entirely created and played by Olof Wikstrand), he recruited band members Jakob Ljungberg on drums, Jonas Wikstrand on bass, and Adam Zaars on guitar. With this lineup in place, they re-recorded two previously released songs for the 'Speed Kills... Again' split on Heavy Artillery records. Shortly after, Joseph Tholl was recruited to play bass, Jonas replaced Jakob on drums, and their debut album Into the Night was released Heavy Artillery in late 2008.
This album caught the attention of Earache records who signed them and released the critically and fan-acclaimed album Diamonds in 2010, on which another shuffling of the line up occurred: Tobias Lindqvist joined to play bass and Joseph switched to guitar.
Before their third album was released, Adam Zaars left to concentrate on Tribulation and Olof took up the slack - again playing guitar - on Death By Fire, released early February 2013 on Nuclear Blast. Their fourth album, From Beyond was released late February 2015, again on Nuclear Blast.
Members:
Olof Wikstrand - Vocals (Corrupt, ex Tribulation, ex Hazard)

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pounding on through the night
The gates of hell soon reveals
You can’t escape your fate is sealed
Sadistic powers for real
Violent your death unfolds
Living on evil
Death has you in it’s claws
Burning alive, pray for death to take your hand
Hear yourself crying out to blackened skies
Behold-You will die-Tonight
Mesmerized by fire
Your death-Unfolds-Tonight
Mesmerized by fire
Frozen with fear with burning mind
Your time is running out
A look into eager eyes
Reveals the devil’s wrath
Feeling the flames licking your cheeks
Fulfilling the dark evil spell
Choking on the burning air
Sets you off through the casts of hell
Burning alive, pray for death to take your hand
Hear yourself crying out to blackened skies
Behold-You will die-Tonight
Mesmerized by fire
Your death-Unfolds-Tonight
Mesmerized by fire
Pagan sacrifice, fumes of burning flesh will rise
No one to help you, not to save you
Death has taken you!!!!!
Set the devil’s sign in flames, and raise it to the sky
Death by fire
You are burning
You are burning in hell

Cuando uno ha vivido escuchando heavy metal desde niño, esto parece tan familiar como si se sacara del baúl los vinilos llenos de polvo, que son recuerdos de los años 80 y que se plasman una sola palabra. El heavy metal es eterno..

Is like a badass version of Live Wire by Motley Crue. Enforcer never disapoints

Thought the same, just found this and sounded like it should be on Too Fast for Love.

Pure fucking heavy metal : solos, riffs, a huge chorus, energy and of course the bonus Bathory T-shirt of the bassist along with the Steve Harris pose he takes while galloping!
