ENFORCED (Thrash Metal – USA 🇺🇸 ) – Release “A Leap into the Dark” (OFFICIAL VIDEO) – Song is the title track to a new EP out October 25, 2024 on Century Media Records #enforced #thrashmetal #heavymetal

Virginia thrash titans ENFORCED are back with a vengeance, announcing their latest EP A Leap Into The Dark, set for release on October 25, 2024. The six-song EP features three brand-new ENFORCED tracks alongside three explosive B-sides, including the fan-favorite “Casket” and blistering 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 available now, accompanied by an intense new music video available HERE.

The band’s frontman shares insight into the title track’s thematic depth: “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 is produced and mixed by the renowned Arthur Rizk (BLOOD INCANTATION, POWER TRIP, KREATOR, CODE ORANGE), capturing ENFORCED’s unrelenting ferocity in its purest form. Building on the hardcore thrash foundation laid by their critically acclaimed albums War Remains (2023) and Kill-Grid (2021), the new EP serves as a harbinger of more to come.

ENFORCED will be hitting the road this November for a massive European tour alongside GATECREEPER and 200 STAB WOUNDS.
