Enforcer plays and performs in a style very similar to older speed metal bands like Venom and Anvil.

[citation needed] Enforcer released their first album, Into the Night, through the Heavy Artillery label in November 2008.

In May 2022, Enforcer announced on Facebook that American Garth Condit will be their new bassist, following the departure of Tobias Lindqvist.

The name of the NWOTHM was inspired by the new wave of British heavy metal, which the movement strongly identifies with.

Other bands considered part of the movement include Steelwing, White Wizzard, Cauldron, Holy Grail, Skull Fist and, more recently, Sons of Lioth.
