Virginia-based crossover maniacs ENFORCED open their Century Media account with their blistering new album, Kill Grid. Informed by a diverse cross-section of extremes-from thrash/punk to death metal/hardcore-the emergent five-piece outfit have dropped a nine-song cluster-bomb of thrashing death on apathetic times. Self-described as 'Pure Crossover Death', the Richmonders quickly established themselves as new metal hopefuls with the release of their two demos (both 2017) and debut full-length At the Walls (2019). Tours with Sacred Reich, Integrity, and All Out War sealed ENFORCED's reputation as a devastating live act. For Kill Grid, the group brought in Bob Quirk (Memory Loss) to engineer and Arthur Rizk (Power Trip) to mix/master. The result: an energetic, aggressive sound. Moored by thought-provoking lyrics, songs like 'The Doctrine', 'UXO', 'Curtain Fire', and 'Trespasser' are designed for head-bangers and circle-pit lunatics alike. ENFORCED are poised to dominate with 'Kill Grid'. 'Kill Grid' is available as CD Jewelcase, black LP+CD.<br/><br/>LP+CD

On their fifteenth album, A View from the Top of the World, the New York quintet rush forward at full speed again with seven tracks equally steeped in articulate arrangements, groove-laden guitars, and skyscraping melodies.<br/><br/>Available as Limited Deluxe Boxset incl. 2LP (in exclusive gatefold sleeve), Limited 2CD/Blu-ray Artbook, Zoetrope Slipmat, Beanie, Enamel Keychain, Poster, Artcards & Certificate of Authenticity in lift-off lid box.

NMB are releasing their much-anticipated fourth album, "Innocence & Danger". The band comprise Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Randy George, Bill Hubauer & Eric Gillette. <br/>With NMB's previous two releases being concept albums, it's perhaps remarkable that "Innocence & Danger" is a series of unrelated songs, but drummer Mike Portnoy says "After two sprawling back to back double concept albums in a row, it was refreshing to get back to writing a collection of unrelated individual songs in the vein of our first album." Six years on from "The Grand Experiment", Morse is more enthusiastic than ever about the talents and contribution of his fellow band members on "Innocence & Danger": "The band is really so extraordinary - and is such an amazing team: Mike's drums are huge, Randy's bass playing is an ever-solid foundation and Eric's vocals are becoming crazy good now: often I'll sing the verse, Eric sings the chorus, Bill sings the bridge and Eric will bring it home. It seems to work really, really well. And both Bill and Eric's soloing is amazing: they have really hit it out of the park on this record." Available on Ltd 2CD+DVD Digipak (feat. 'Making Of' Documentay), Standard 2CD Jewelcase, 3LP+2CD Boxset.<br/><br/>BOX SET<br/>LP+CD
