Virginia Thrash Metal band Enforced have returned with a new EP, A Leap Into The Dark, set for release on October 25, 2024. The six-song EP features three brand-new tracks alongside three B-sides, including the fan-favorite “Casket” and covers of English Dogs’ “The Chase Is On” and Obituary’s “Deadly Intentions.” The title track from the EP, “A Leap Into The Dark,” is out now, alongside a video.
The band’s frontman shares insight into the title track’s themes:
“A Leap Into The Dark” is fixated around a very vivid dream I had that I couldn’t forget or erase. Lyrically, it’s about taking a massive leap of faith into a chaotic unknown. It could lead to blessings or towards your downfall. It doesn’t matter; you’re at the moment where you need to make a decision. A Leap Into The Dark is the choice I’ve made. I am not afraid of the unknown.
A Leap Into The Dark was Produced and mixed by the Arthur Rizk (BLOOD INCANTATION, POWER TRIP, KREATOR, CODE ORANGE). This EP builds on Enforcer’s albums War Remains (2023) and Kill-Grid (2021).
Enforced will be hitting the road this November for a European tour alongside Gatecreeper and 200 Stab Wounds. The tour will kick off in Dublin, IE on October 30, 2024, and will make stops across the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Belgium.
