Swedish heavy metal powerhouse ENFORCER return with their sophomore album, entitled Diamonds, to be released in Europe by Earache Records on May 24th and the rest of the world on Heavy Artillery Records on May 25th.

For a taste of what they can expect from the upcoming album, fans can preview the track 'Midnight Vice' in its entirety at this location.

Diamonds picks up where it's predecessor left off; with a pure old school heavy metal album of the highest caliber, this time showcasing a broader range of talent and metal influences highlighted by the production wizardry of renown Swedish producer Rikard Lofgren.

With the release of their debut album Into the Night in November 2008, Enforcer kicked open the floodgates for the return of traditional heavy metal, paving the way for many other young bands to follow. With critical acclaim pouring in from fans and the international music press, Enforcer wasted no time taking their show to the road for their first European and American tours as well as a litany of appearances at many of Europe’s most highly regarded festivals.

After the release of their debut album many fans and critics were left wondering if Enforcer could ever top or even equal their work on Into the Night. Proving themselves more than up to the challenge, Enforcer emerged from the studio in February with their latest metal masterpiece, aptly entitled Diamonds.
