One of the heaviest hardcore bands from Norway – as it looks – called it guits. However ENFORCER will leave it marks in hardcore history. The CD version of the album 'Redifining The Goals' came out now and it sounds and looks fantastic. 10 heavy and hardhitting hardcore traxks which sound similar to old Cleveland bands e.g. Confront or Meanstreak.
