Enterprise Earth

Taking their name from a confluence of Illuminati and other conspiracy theories, Enterprise Earth is a punishing technical deathcore outfit founded in 2014 by ex-Annihilator vocalist Dan Watson and ex-Takeover guitarist BJ Sampson.

Based out of Spokane, Washington, the band issued its debut EP, XXIII, shortly after forming. In 2015 they inked a deal with Attila frontman Chris Fronzak's Stay Sick Recordings and released their debut studio long-player, Patient 0, which featured guest appearances from Rings of Saturn guitarist Joel Omans and Oceano vocalist Adam Warren -- the LP reached number five on Billboard's Heatseekers/Top New Artist Chart. They spent the next two years touring hard in support of the album, but eventually found the time to head back into the studio and lay down tracks for their sophomore release. The resulting Embodiment dropped in early 2017 -- the LP reached number six on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. December 2018 saw the band issue the single "He Exists" ahead of the release of their third full-length effort, Luciferous, which arrived in April 2019. ~ James Christopher Monger
