Enterprise Earth is an American deathcore band from Spokane, Washington.[1] Frontman Dan Watson (former Infant Annihilator vocalist) and former guitarist BJ Sampson (formerly of Takeover), formed the band in mid-2014.[2] Quickly after their inception, the band began picking up a large internet following. At the beginning of the spring, the band finalised their deal with Attila frontman, Chris Fronzak, and moved to his record label Stay Sick Recordings, leaving former label We Are Triumphant.[3]

The band name was Watson's idea, which was inspired by his research into Illuminati and conspiracy theories.[4]
