ENTERPRISE EARTH returns in 2021 with "The Chosen," a masterpiece of monstrous brutality and enveloping atmosphere. It is the band's most intense and diverse work yet, with shifting dynamics, moods, and desperate aggression that run through the songs.
It is the inevitable culmination of about six years spent attacking, deconstructing, and refining a subgenre of music that the men of ENTERPRISE EARTH share a true passion for. The band's origin story dates back to 2014 when the initial lineup came together in Spokane, Washington.
With each new record surpassing the previous one, the group steadily built their underground following. They participated in the Summer Slaughter Tour alongside legendary old-school death metal pioneers like Cannibal Corpse, Nile, and Suffocation. Tour partners since the band's inception have included Whitechapel, Dying Fetus, Thy Art Is Murder, Chelsea Grin, Oceano, and Carnifex. Dan Watson is on a "me against the world" mission, facing personal struggles, isolation, self-doubt, and alienation like a determined madman, resolved to persevere at any cost.
It is a battle for personal survival delivered by a colossal, distinctive voice with meticulous passion (there is an entire Deathcore subreddit dedicated to his insane vocal abilities). "The Chosen" was developed, produced, mixed, and mastered by Gabe Mangold (now the sole guitarist of the group), with the exception of the drums.
Brandon Zackey has matched his relentless, breathtaking, and versatile drum performance with producer Jason Suecof (August Burns Red, Demon Hunter, Death Angel). Bassist Rob Saireh completes the ENTERPRISE EARTH lineup, providing an equally impressive force, skill, and groove.
