Enterprise Earth is an American deathcore band from Spokane, Washington.[1] The band was formed in mid-2014 by former members Dan Watson (formerly of Infant Annihilator) and BJ Sampson (formerly of Takeover) on vocals and guitars respectively.[2] At the beginning of the spring[clarification needed], 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] Since the departure of Watson in 2022, no original members remain in the band, with guitarist Gabe Mangold being its longest tenured member since joining in 2017.

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