Enemy Soil was a grindcore band from Virginia, USA formed by Richard Johnson, R. Mason, & Vaughn that existed through most of the 1990s. The lyrics are mostly about sociopolitical subjects with a few covering the 'darker side' of personal relationships (which is the only way you can talk about relationships in grindcore.)

In 2008, Relapse will re-issue the band's 1994 7" "Casualties Of Progress" on CD, which featured the line-up of Richard Johnson, R. Mason, & Vaughn & saw several different pressings by the label.

Bones Brigade Records (France) released a select double CD discography of the group's music, which will go into its third pressing in the near future. There is also a posthumous double DVD in the works.

Enemy Soil had one album, The Ruins of Eden, pressed on vinyl by Insolito Records and on CD by Clean Plate Records, and a mini-album, Fractured Theology, issued by Profane Existence FE. The rest of the band's releases were EPs, split EPs, and compilation appearances. Some of the bands Enemy Soil put out splits with included Agoraphobic Nosebleed, pg.99, Wadge, Reversal Of Man, and Corrupted.

Two of the guys that were in Enemy Soil went on to Pig Destroyer (JR & Brian). Other bands that have ex-Enemy Soil members include Drugs Of Faith (Richard Johnson), Blower (R.Mason/Richard Johnson), Exploding Meth Lab (R. Mason, Vaughn), Autoerotichrist (R.Mason), City of Caterpillar (Jeff Kane), Index (Richard Johnson, R. Mason), Verse En Coma (Jeff Kane), Battletorn (Omid), Exploding Meth Lab (R. Mason, Vaughn) S.O.C./Jesus Of Nazareth (R. Mason). Also, the original bassist from pg.99 was in the band on vocals for a time.

After Enemy Soil broke up, they formed The Index, which released one selftitled LP on Outlaw Recordings. The Index featured Richard & R Mason from Enemy Soil, along with Jake Cregger (drums),Alysia (vocals), and Mark (guitar). They toured and released a few split EPs.

There are two tribute Enemy Soil pages on MySpace. One was abandoned in 1996 and the other is new and up-to-date. There's an official website that's being updated too that has a great deal of information on the band, which is built off of Drugs of Faith's website.
