ENFORCER - Release Second Single 'Nostalgia' + New Music Video

Swedish heavy metal pioneers ENFORCER are stoked to share their second new single 'Nostalgia'. The title track of their upcoming album Nostalgia, due to be released on May 5th, gives fans another taste of the new long-player. Whilst the first single 'Coming Alive' showed the straight-to-the-point, classically heavy side that ENFORCER are well-known for, 'Nostalgia' flaunts a more melodic and powerful edge, including acoustic elements and a more delicate, heartfelt touch. It’s the album’s ludicrously catchy power ballad. Along with the new single, the band has also released a new music video to accompany the track, which you can witness below.

ENFORCER's Olof Wikstrand comments:
”Sooner or later you get to a point in life when you realize you’re not gonna live forever and you see things around you that you used to know aged, withered and died. There’s absolutely nothing you can do about the destructive force of time. We’re super excited to share with you one of the most ominous songs we’ve ever written: Nostalgia. A powerful semi-ballad about the futility of life. Enjoy!”
