Enmity
Encyclopedia
Enmity is a Avant-Garde Metal band from Cape Town, South Africa and has been active since 2007. Their debut full-length album, Murderabilia (2009) is a concept album exploring the lives of different serial killers from around the world.
After playing live shows and gigging around the country for almost two years Kyle needed to concentrate on his cheffing career and moved to London, leaving Ross as the sole guitarist. Drummer Trevor also left soon after.
In Dec 2008 Enmity began recording their debut album, Murderabilia at bassist Jay's studio, thereafter mixed and mastered by Dean Bailey at his studio. Vocalist Alain (who is also a drummer) recorded all the drums on the album, and just before recording was finished Graham Pitout joined as the new drummer. The album was officially released in June 2009 and was very well received around the country during the consequent national tour.
Enmity have recently (April 2011) gone back into studio to begin pre-production for their second full-length album.
