Enforced announce new album ‘War Remains’

ENFORCED have announced a new album!

Titled War Remains, the upcoming album from the Virginia-based crossover thrash band is the follow-up to 2021’s Kill Grid, and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Century Media Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Knox Colby says, “War Remains is a scathing perception of the modern crumbling world. Humanity seems imprisoned by its violent and chaotic nature; boiling over and doubling down on its own ignorance. The album contemplates and reflects upon the blight with cyclical themes rotating through the songs. It’s a hammer hitting a raw nerve.”

Guitarist Will Wagstaff adds, “this record (War Remains) is furious. If you aren’t in the mood to circle pit, head bang, disrupt the neighbors, etc. don’t put this thing on. From the second the needle touches the record, you are in for about 32 minutes of a non-stop, no frills, indiscriminate ass kicking. Toss out the samples, ambiance, and nonsense. All we need are JCM800s and some V30s to deliver inexorable riffage.”

For the upcoming album, the band teamed up with Richmond-based producer, Ricky Olson, with mixing help from Arthur Rizk [POWER TRIP, KREATOR]. “It has the intensity of At The Walls (2019) but is more mature than Kill Grid (2021),” Colby explains. “It has that tenacity of us live. It spills through the record. If you’re a fan of really aggressive music, you’re gonna love it. It’s seething!”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, ENFORCED have released a new song from the upcoming album; Ultra-Violence.
