Enforcer Zenith CD (Digipak, 2019, Nuclear Blast, Limited Edition)

Enforcer are one of the foundational bands of the NWOTHM New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal Movement.

Zenith the fifth full-length studio album from the Swedish New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal band Enforcer showcases the band at their most ambitious, delivering a dynamic blend of speed metal, classic heavy metal, and epic melodic songwriting. Longtime fans will immediately connect with high-octane anthems like “Searching for You” and “Thunder and Hell,” but this album pushes far beyond the band’s traditional speed-metal attack.

The record opens with the powerful, mid-tempo “Die for the Devil,” revealing Enforcer’s expanded, more epic direction. Tracks such as “Zenith of the Black Sun” evolve from a calm introduction into a soaring, melodic finale, while “Regrets” surprises with a delicate piano intro before exploding into a massive, stadium-ready rock anthem.

Further highlights include the crushing and atmospheric “The End of a Universe” and the irresistibly catchy “Sail On.” The orchestral-infused “One Thousand Years of Darkness” introduces a fresh dimension to Enforcer’s sound, showcasing the band’s willingness to explore new territory. Marching drums lead into “Forever Worship the Dark,” setting the stage for the seven-minute closer “Ode to Death,” a brooding and dramatic finale that brings the album to a powerful close.

Armed with one of their strongest tracklists to date, Enforcer are poised to reach new heights, supported by major festival appearances and worldwide touring plans. As vocalist Olof Wikstrand warns:

“Wherever you are, beware the Zenith of the Black Sun.”.
