One of the leaders of Sydney's metal scene in the late 1980s, Enticer played a mixture of speed, thrash and traditional-style metal. The group formed in 1987 around Steve Moore, Dave DeFrancesco and ex-Fallen Saint Michael Keating. After a couple of unsuccessful guitarist pairings, John Kyd was found and the band was joined by vocalist Gregg Moore. With a mixture of classic metal covers and trad-style originals, Enticer played around Sydney for a couple of years before going in to record "Into Reality" in early 1989 that displayed a more aggressive, thrash-oriented sound. Soon after, Gregg Moore was replaced by Steve Sidhu and the band moonlighted for some months as an Angels cover band called Night Attack.

In mid-1991, Enticer featured at Metalfest 91, a mini-festival event that was headlined by Sadistik Exekution. Two months later while recording for an album, Enticer decider to disband.
