History

On June 10, 2014, immediately after forming, Enterprise Earth released the single "Masquerade of Angels" on the label We Are Triumphant, which, according to the Enterprise Earth 'About' Page, "was welcome[d] with open arms by the death metal community".[5] On October 14, Enterprise Earth released their debut EP XXIII, which, according to the Enterprise Earth 'About' Page, "spread like wild fire on the internet and quickly [became] very talked about".

On April 15, 2015, Enterprise Earth announced their first tour would be the Death Take Me Home tour, in which they would be playing from August 24 to September 8, with King Conquer, Here Comes the Kraken, Adaliah, and Dealey Plaza.[6] On the last date of the tour, Enterprise Earth played with extra bands (excluding Adaliah): Lost Fortune, WVRM, Among Us, Worthy to Recognize, Existence Has Failed, and Agerasia.[7]

In early 2015, the band signed to Stay Sick Recordings, leaving former label. "Transorbital Awakening" was released as the first single from Patient Ø On April 24. It featured a guest guitar solo by Joel Omans of Rings of Saturn. The second single, "Amorphous", was released on June 6, which featured guest vocals by Adam Warren of Oceano. The last single,"Theophany", was released on August 21. On October 12, Stay Sick Recordings uploaded a music video for "Shallow Breath", featuring model Erin Leigh Pribyl.

On November 12, Enterprise Earth announced they would be playing the second half of The Sleep Disorder Tour (January 16–25, 2016) with Traitors.[8] Enterprise Earth announced that on January 20 of [The] Sleep Disorder Tour, they would be playing alongside Kings, Purge, Endings, Beggars Clarity, and Destitute; whether these bands were on other dates is unknown.[9] On December 11, Patient 0̸ was released. It reached No. 5 on Billboard's Heatseekers/Top New Artist Chart,[1] No. 16 on their Independent Label Chart, and No. 54 on their Hard Music Chart.[10]

Their second studio album Embodiment was released on April 14, 2017,[11] and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Heatseekeers Chart.[12]
