ENFORCED, the unstoppable force of crossover thrash, is back with their blistering new EP, A Leap Into the Dark. Featuring six powerhouse tracks, this EP delivers everything fans have come to expect from the Virginia-based quintet: searing riffs, unrelenting aggression, and lyrics that pull no punches.

Accompanying the release is the brand-new video for the lead single, “Betting on the End.” This incendiary track juxtaposes the idea that “politicians are ’gambling with our lives‘” against the concept that everyday people are doing it for them. “It’s a spiral about the devaluation of human life in the modern age. It feels like we’re all just chips to be wagered, but at its core, we’d be wagering our own lives regardless. So can you blame an entity for essentially mocking your own behavior? It works both ways and on every level; be it an individual or an overpowered government. The house wins in the end.”

Recorded with Lance Koehler, A Leap Into the Dark is a direct follow-up to the band‘s acclaimed 2023 album War Remains. With three new songs and remastered versions of fan favorites, the EP captures the raw, relentless energy that has become synonymous with ENFORCED‘s sound.
