Overt Enemy

Since their formation in 2013, Overt Enemy has built a cult following in the global metal scene. Hailing from Mission, Texas, USA, on the US/Mexico Border, their unique style of "Modern Texas Thrash" combines the face-melting intensity of their twin guitar and vocal attack, thunderous drums, groovy basslines, and thought-provoking lyrics. Musically influenced by Slayer, Pantera, Sepultura, and Fear Factory, Overt Enemy stands on the shoulders of legends on a quest to blaze a new trail. Their incendiary live performances earned them metal legend Max Cavalera’s seal of approval as “Grade A Texas Thrash”. Their unyielding DIY ethos, resolute professionalism, and commitment to their fans and charitable causes have won them international fan acclaim, nods from metal elites like Body Count’s Ice-T, comedian Brian Posehn, Anthrax’s Charlie Benante, Trivium’s Matt Heafy, Exodus vocalist Zetro, ex-Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson, and a strong position in the New Wave of Thrash Metal (NWOTM) movement. With two highly anticipated releases on the horizon – the live album "Official Live: Thunder in the Hill Country 2023" and a new studio album “Insurrection" – the band is primed to explode and is one of the top underground bands to watch post-pandemic. Overt Enemy continues to charge forward, spearheading the thrash metal resurgence, intent on shaping a new era of metal music on their own terms.
