Eye Of The Enemy

90年代，旋律死亡金屬的興起，造*了多國的重型戰士紛紛投入這股新興的力量，在瑞典哥德堡革命的奠基者之一 Dark Tranquillity 奮力創新下，並與 In Flames , Arch Enemy , Children Of Bodom 成為 Melodic Death Metal 的四大巨頭，影響深遠。

踏入20世紀，NWOBHM 的運動引發著 Nu Thrash / Metalcore 的新一輪革命，多支樂隊在旋律金屬的基礎下，加入強力和弦，失真，Thrash Metal 和 Hardcore 的融合，以非常不同的手法帶茱全新啟發。

Eye Of The Enemy 自2006年以來在當地金屬界獲得一致肯定，在*早期的旋死金屬風逐漸邁向摩登金屬核/新激流，已成為不可劃缺的現代重型勢力。

他們在2008年的首張 EP 迅速引起*公司 Welkin Entertainment 及廠牌 Just Say Rock Record 所留意，並簽約於旗下，以一支澳大利亞樂團來說，他們滲透著一股來自北歐的純正旋死味道，同時帶來南半球的獨特金屬氣色。不斷的巡演，使他們的勢力越來越壯大。充滿侵略性和無限的精力，使他們擠身入*金屬樂隊之一席位。

2010年，樂迷引頸以待的首張全長專輯 Weight Of Redemption 發佈，获得一致好評，並被提名為世界金屬重量級專輯之一。憑藉出色的曲目，如 “A Reason for Treason”, "Facade" “Peace” 和 “Burn the World ” 都吸引著金屬樂迷，成為其標誌性金曲。

緊密的巡迴旅程無阻樂隊的創作，2014年發表了全新專輯 The Vengeance Paradox , 不但超越了首張力作 Weight Of Redemption，更再次成為2014年度必聽的金屬專輯之一。

Eye of the Enemy have been raising hell within the metal scene since 2006 with the release of their Demo and subsequent self-titled E.P in 2008. Catching the attention of the Welkin Entertainment booking agency and Just Say Rock Record Label, Eye of the Enemy signed on to become part of both of their artist rosters and have been growing from strength to strength ever since.

Playing show after show with unrelenting aggression and energy up there with the best that the Australian metal scene had to offer.

In 2010, Eye of the Enemy released their first full length album Weight of Redemption.The album was received with much fanfare and critical acclaim being nominated for album of the year against metal heavyweights across the globe. With standout tracks such as “A Reason for Treason”, “Facade” “Peace” and “Burn the World appealing to metal fans and non-metal fans alike.

In support of its release Eye of the Enemy played several notable shows and national tours with international bands such as:
• Amon Amarth (2 national tours)
• At the Gates
• Children of Bodom
• Cradle of Filth
• Despised Icon
• Malevolent Creation
• Screamfest metal festival (Edguy, Ensifirum, Cynic, Dark Funeral, Destoryer 666 and several more)

Not to mention making a big splash in the local metal scene having played the Sonic Forge Festival 3 years in a row and several other shows with across Australia playing alongside some of the biggest names in Australian metal of the past and present.
In early 2014 Eye of the Enemy mark their return with the long awaited follow up album to Weight of Redemption, “The Vengeance Paradox.”

The album tells a cautionary tale of how “Evil begets Evil”. Track by track listeners are guided down the path of how ones delusions of grandeur and quest for vengeance have in fact turned them into the evil they vowed to destroy.

Upon release of The Vengeance Paradox, Eye of the Enemy toured the east coast of Australia in support of the album with the legendary Children of Bodom. Playing to packed venues and enthusiastic crowds, the band left a long lasting impression proving that their live show matches the ferocity of their music.

Returning for a short break to announce their signing with Swimming with Sharks Records (USA), Eye of the Enemy have begun planning their next tour which is looking to extend beyond Australian shores.

The music which blends devastatingly heavy and melodic riffs seamlessly showcases the strengths that make Eye of the Enemy one of the most exciting metal acts today.
