Sweden's Enforcer issues its second full-length titled Diamonds, which immediately assaults our memory bank with the opening track "Midnight Vice," which sounds like it was right off the first Maiden album. For a newer band, these guys must have some pretty diverse backgrounds and influences, because everything from Maiden to Diamond Head to the obscure Paralex is represented here. If you were to pop this music on at some gathering of old-timers like myself and ask the collective what NWOBHM outfit this was, the rambling and guessing would most likely never end and garner some intricate, interesting answers; the music is so indicative and reminiscent of that period I'd never have guessed they were a current outfit creating such great music. Now this is old-school!
