Richmond, Virginia-based thrash metal band Enforced have filmed a music video for the title track of their latest album War Remains<\/em>, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Enforced issued third full-length studio album War Remains<\/em> on April 28th, 2023 through Century Media Records.<\/p>\n

Frontman Knox Colby commented: \u201cWar Remains<\/em> 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\u2019s a hammer hitting a raw nerve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guitarist Will Wagstaff added: \u201cThis record is furious. If you aren\u2019t in the mood to circle pit, head bang, disrupt the neighbours, etc. don\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t overthink anything,\u201d Enforced vocalist Knox Colby continued. \u201cIt\u2019s all very straight forward, no bells and whistles production-wise. It\u2019s almost ten minutes shorter than our last record and packs ten times more of a punch.\u201d<\/p>\n

War Remains<\/em> was produced by Ricky Olson, with mixing assistance from Arthur Rizk. \u201cIt has the intensity of At The Walls<\/em> (2019) but is more mature than Kill Grid<\/em> (2021),\u201d Knox Colby explained. \u201cIt has that tenacity of us live. It spills through the record. If you\u2019re a fan of really aggressive music, you\u2019re gonna love it. It\u2019s seething!\u201d<\/p>\n
