Album after album, the Swedish Enforcer continue their business: to revive the true heavy metal of the first half of the 80s, one of the famous New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Obviously, Olof Wikstrand & Co. are not only calling their vows a return to traditional values of heavy metal, there is, for a good decade, a current emerged, revitalizing music was believed indeed Also lost albums of some of his servants who kept the original flavor, the charm of music a little silly but really entertaining. So, here's From Beyond, fourth album of training with no other ambition than to revive the past for his amusement and that of those who might be interested, and the fact excellently in this case. This is also a relief because if Diamonds, the second installment of the gentlemen was a revivalist revelation, his successor, very correct Death by Fire, had not quite reproduced performance. But this time, everything is better and this from an introductory Destroyer quickfire by training who knows by heart all kinds of codes and applies them with talent and enthusiasm. The first bang was soon confirmed by Undying Evil more measured tempo, inevitably evoking the double guitars few ghosts of a past not so distant and more specifically the six-strung games of Glenn Tipton and a KK Downing (Judas Priest). Subsequently, the good heavy without any loss of power, is exactly the same barrel of water fire these two bursts open with the same, almost obligatory passage of this kind of cake, two epic pieces look great (Below the Slumber and Mask of Red Death) Recalling the androgynous vocals Olof Wikstrand aside, what Iron Maiden was able in the genre, or, still in the wake of the famous Iron Maiden, and its many heirs, They Will Come Hungry one that will stir the hair into a joyful headbanging who will not spare cervical listeners who expected it anyway. So obviously there is nothing original in it. Very referenced under influence it seems, does the job Enforcer helped by a production, one is never better served than by oneself, assumed by the group. In 2015, anachronistic as hell, Enforcer continues its revivalist goal with passion and conviction that are a pleasure to hear a From Beyond, you will understand, highly recommended for fans of the genre who will find moult reason to be satisfied.
