Band information

Eye of the Enemy formed in Melbourne in 2006 and quickly developed a reputation for strong periformances and well executed melodic groove metal. After a demo in 2006, an EP emerged in early 2008 that won the attention of Just Say Rock and the next year the band was added to a string of tours including those by Cradle of Filth, Amon Amarth and Malevolent Creation. The band appeared at Screamfest at the end of the year before releasing their debut album mid-2010, supported by a national tour. Sean Blanchard later departed for Dead City Ruins and was replaced by Mav. The band seemed to go to ground for some time before re-emerging as a four piece in 2013, recording a second album. Eye of the Enemy will tour with Children of Bodom in 2014.
