Forced Entry

Forced Entry is an American thrash metal band formed in 1983 in Seattle, Washington as Critical Condition. The band released two studio albums, one EP, and three demos before breaking up in 1995. They have reunited twice, in 2002–2003 and in 2026. Although Forced Entry never achieved mainstream success, they are regarded as Seattle thrash metal pioneers, along with Metal Church, Panic, Bitter End, Coven, R.I.P. and Sanctuary (whom guitarist Brad Hull joined when they reunited in 2010, and left in 2015 after recording one album).
