Enforced release new music video for ‘Malignance’

ENFORCED have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Malignance, is taken from the Virginia-based crossover thrashers’ upcoming new album, Kill Grid, which is scheduled to be released in March.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Knox Colby says, Malignance is about being on the wrong side of history, being led down the path of an ideology built on hatred and violence, only to end up with a bullet in your stomach. The lyrics about-face towards the end of the song and try to shake you out of it. Wake up, get a grip, understand and accept that you’re wrong. The chorus was inspired by a World War II prisoner-of-war torture tactic I read about. Soldiers who were captured were forced to smell the bodies of their friends and comrades, which became this strange introspective psychological torture that fit the narrative I was writing.”

Guitarist Will Wagstaff dives deeper into the music, “this song has an older SLAYER type of vibe to me, maybe Show No Mercy/Haunt the Chapel era. This is a pure crossover song, ala EXODUS/early TESTAMENT/SLAYER. We knew we wanted to keep it fast for most of the song and it ended up coming together organically during a practice.”

Kill Grid is set for release on March 12th via Century Media Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
