Most fans of cult/obscure metal remember Baltimore thrashers, Have Mercy, from their 1986 Combat Records’ Bootcamp release, Armageddon Descends. Guitarist Nick Ellingson departed soon after the EP’s release, going on to play in a few non-starter bands until 1988 when he once again crossed paths with former Have Mercy vocalist, Lonnie Fletcher.

ENFORCE was born soon after.

With the concept of the band in full swing, Ellington then called upon ex-Krybaby band mate and drummer, Cliff Saunders, to help round out the new group with bassist Jody Lewis. ENFORCE decidedly took a more melodic approach to their heavy metal attack, slowing the pace down drastically from Have Mercy's thrashier style.

Influenced by groups like Queensryche and Crimson Glory, ENFORCE went on to craft two impressive demos (only 1 was ever released to the public before now).
