Overt Enemy Mission Texas For fans of: Slayer, Death Angel, Exhorder, Lamb of God, Pantera, SYL, Power Trip - “Visceral howls lock horns with sinister grooves as this Texan four-piece blaze through five tracks ripped from thrash's nether regions.” - Metal Hammer Magazine Gnarly, confrontational and relentless - Overt Enemy are delivering the next generation of Texas thrash metal. Formed as a Slayer tribute band in 2013 by drummer Jaime Ayala and frontman Leo Ortiz, Overt Enemy has since evolved into one of the fastest growing metal acts in Texas. With a uniquely versatile set that blends razor sharp originals and unerring Slayer covers, Overt Enemy have honed a sound that is wholly their own. Rather than aping Slayer, Overt Enemy’s original music also draws from bands like Pantera, Strapping Young Lad and Corrosion of Conformity. They emphasize an aggressive clean vocal delivery, thought provoking lyrics and a classic twin guitar attack. Their distinct stage show and potent songs has them well on their way to becoming Texas’s go to thrash metal band. The bands relentless work ethic as well as the addition of guitarist Robert Hahn and bassist Slayerella, the wife of frontman Leo Ortiz, has seen them rapidly grow. Once a one-off tribute band, they now destroy clubs throughout the South Texas region. By collaborating with Confused Records on their 2018 debut, Inception, the group has built a worldwide fan base and embraced all manner of opportunities including supporting national acts like The Accused, Sons of Texas & Shattered Sun. Simultaneously, Overt Enemy have built strong relationships with their local rock station, KFRQ 94.5FM as well as international stations like Castledown FM in the UK and received favorable press from magazines/websites including Metal Hammer & Metal Injection. Suffice it to say, the groups infectious grooves have started to conquer the world. Now, the band looks to the future with their new album, Possession. Having once more entered the studio with producer/engineer Joshua Lopez (Immortal Guardian) the band is sounding more vicious than ever. With growing underground buzz & tour dates being locked in around the region it seems like there is no stopping the band who seek to conquer the Lone Star State. In 2019 Overt Enemy have honed their thrash sound into something unique, modern and utterly contagious. The Texas metal scene has always been thirsty for blood, and Overt Enemy plan to give it to them!
