Despite all the booming technology the San Francisco Bay Area boasts, few prominent technical death metal acts have yet to claim their own in the region. Enter ENIGMA, a band that creates music that sounds like what Jobs and Gates might have dreamt up if they'd dropped out of college to engineer death metal masterpieces. The Silicon Valley tech death quintet boasts a ferociously technical and fastidious songwriting approach, weaving tasteful and unorthodox ideas into impeccably organized tracks. ENIGMA approach their music with same the fastidious work ethic and innovation as the area's technology titans, and it shows.

Formed in 2014, ENIGMA wasted no time in making name for themselves on the live circuit, and have already performed alongside genre leaders and local heavyweights including Conducting From The Grave, WRVTH, Arkaik, and more. The band's forthcoming debut EP Stars Misaligned, recorded at Sharkbite Studios with renowned producer Zack Ohren (Fallujah, All Shall Perish, etc), is a powerful work of precision and energy. Pairing Necrophagist-esque melodic sensibilities with the ferocity of modern extreme metal, Stars Misaligned is a five-track journey through mesmerizing, pulverizing songcraft, and is sure to establish ENIGMA as one of the most promising up-and-coming bands in death metal. #SiliconValleyTechDeath
