History & Biography
Swedish band Enforcer issued a 2013 single called Mesmerized By Fire. Enforcer would release an album, Death By Fire, on February 1st through Nuclear Blast Records. The band was formed as a one-man project of Olof Wikstrand in 2004. Its 2005 demo was called Evil Attacker. Diamonds had a Japanese motif covering part of the lyrics. Tholl was on bass for 2007 and 2008 before switching to guitar. Part of the Live By Fire DVD and CD was also taped in Japan. The group issued two split releases with Volture and Bullet respectively in 2010 and 2011. Tholl left in 2019. Jonathan Nordwall had already replaced Tholl for certain concerts previously. 1000 Years of Darkness was a limited edition cassette EP in 2019 and only available at the Zenith album release show. This album was considered softer than the previous output. Live By Fire II was recorded in Mexico in 2019.

Garth Condit joined in 2022. Enforcer had an album called Nostalgia available through Nuclear Blast Records in 2023. There was a video for the track Metal Supremacia. The band was opening for Razor and Destruction in Europe. The band also put in an appearance at Huggins Awakening Fest in 2023. The group was booked for Heavy Metal Thunder festival and Rock And Bol Metalfest in 2024. The group was booked for Heavy Nights festival with Inculter, Century and others. The scene was so commercial and neutered that when the Prime Minister of Sweden and the head of the Chilean state met and had an Enforcer album included, as part of a cultural exchange, the band was prompt to say that sharing a photo was not a political statement! The band was booked to play in Australia and Japan to begin 2025. The group was booked to play at Hyperspace Metal Fest in Vancouver, Canada in April 2025,

Members also shared a band in Corrupt and Corrupted.
