ENMITY

Enmity is a tapestry of sound, intensity, beauty and passion, combining all these elements and more into one explosive experience. Enmity manage to coalesce brutal elements of creative metal riffs with overtones of melodies and harmonies, benchmark vocals which are balanced with interludes, keyboards and seraphic female vocals.

Having made an impact on the scene from their very first gig, Enmity have broken and recreated the mold for the underground, setting the standard for quality live performance and song writing, both of which are extremely important elements to the band.

The 13th June 2009 saw the release of the full-length debut album from Enmity, titled ‘Murderabilia’. This 12 track album with a concept theme is a reflection of the creativity, diversity and audacity of this collection of talented and exciting young musicians. Before going into studio to work on Murderabilia, and after many previous recording ventures the band was able to find a sound they felt was without compromise, and also made the bold choice to scrap all their old material and work on entirely new songs. Murderabilia is a unique album that keeps you on your toes, with unexpected hooks and
the incomparable juxtaposition of vocal styles.

A live performance that exudes a contagious energy on stage, the band is confident and comfortable with their set. With the intention to not only impress the audience, but rather leave an impression as well, Enmity strive to reaffirm old fans and secure brand new ones with every gig.

"Murderabilia's sound does not translate well onto page and herein lies its greatest strength. I would safely say that no band has done anything remotely similar to this in South Africa and I would be hard pressed to find an international one that has either. Enmity is pioneering its own sound and in South Africa, where 98% of bands are
cheap rip-offs of international acts, this deserves recognition on its own. Add to that incredible mastery of instruments, melody, brutality and performance and you get, dare I say, one of the best South African albums to date."
