Virginia-based crossover maniacs Enforced, have shared a new track called ‘Curtain Fire’, from the band’s forthcoming new album, and Century Media debut, ‘Kill Grid’.
“Also known as ‘the creeping barrage,’ curtain fire is an artillery tactic used in tandem with advancing ground troops” singer Knox Colby explained. “It’s meant to soften up defenses or wipe them out completely. The lyrical narrative is on the defending end of curtain fire; ruminations on the death of soldiers, their grieving families, and how they’ll eventually be forgotten through time (a folded flag in a garage).”
Adding “The last few lines flip to the perspective of the attacker. With a very apathetic and unsympathetic attitude towards all the damage created, paving a parking lot over the conflict.”
Guitarist Will Wagstaff said about the music “This song came together from the supernova of many other riffs/versions of the song. It was originally an up-tempo fast metal beat type of song. We kind of scraped that when we came up with the intro and realized it could be a really catchy song. Knox’s lyrics work perfectly with this song and make it extremely catchy along with the head bashing and solos.”
The new track is the third we’ve heard from the album. Check out the new song here:
Enjoyed that? The band’s upcoming album, ‘Kill Grid’, which is set to release March 12th.
