Enforced
\nA Leap Into the Dark
\n<\/i>(Century Media)
\n3\/5<\/p>\n

I was promised thrash metal and Enforced delivered with their new six-song EP A Leap Into the Dark<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Sadly, I\u2019m not very moved by the songs here. Although well mixed and the pacing is great for headbanging, the songs themselves are fairly standard-issue thrash; other than some well-executed guitar solos, the EP ends up blending together a lot between songs.<\/p>\n

The title track has a really great rhythm and is the best song on A Leap Into the Dark<\/i>, certainly going into some of my own playlists.<\/p>\n

The lukewarm vibes may be due to how short the EP is, and the songs are not substantial enough to combat it (of the six, two are Obituary and English Dogs covers and one is a 2024 remaster of 2021 Decibel Magazine<\/i> flexi track \u201cCasket\u201d). I do hope they plan to continue experimenting, as they have very skilled musicians in their roster, unless this brand of consistent thrash is their goal.<\/p>\n

This is a solid EP, but it\u2019s not particularly ambitious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
