The band was formed by singer Nastassja Giulia and guitar player Evan K (Mystic Prophecy, Exit Eden, ex-Cypecore) who have found their own sound, somewhere between dark rock and modern metal, through a wide range of musical experimentation. Their music strikes hard guitar riffs with melodic vocals and melodic guitar solos.
In June 2018, Enemy Inside announced their debut album Phoenix to be released by ROAR in September 2018.
In August 2018, the band released their first singles & video clips Falling Away, Oblivion and Lullaby on YouTube.
Georg Neuhauser, the singer of the symphonic/progressive power metal band Serenity, appears also as a guest and performs alongside Giulia on the song Doorway to Salvation. The album reached after few days of its release Nr.28 in the German iTunes Metal Top releases and Nr.74 in the US.
In January 2021, Enemy Inside under the ROAR label released the single Crystallize.

Death of Me
Enemy Inside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Inside the dark of your soul)
Calling out and reaching out for your call
(For your call)
All your eyes, they're blinding me, blinding me
Paralyzed, you're killing me, killing me
Dead and gone, it tears my skin, You are
Crawling inside your skin
You're the death of me, I see the thrill
In your eyes
They spread lies, feeding my own dreams (my own dreams)
Like a stain from crawling down on your knees (on your knees)
All your eyes, they're blinding me, blinding me
Paralyzed, You are
The death of me, licensed to kill
Crawling inside your skin
You're the death of me, I see the thrill
In your eyes.
And there is more
Light to break the door
My soul, my soul.
The death of me, licensed to kill
Crawling inside your skin
You're the death of me, I see the thrill
In your eyes.
The death of me, licensed to kill
Crawling inside your skin
You're the death of me, I see the thrill
In your eyes.
You're the death of me
You're the death of me
You're the death of me
You're the death of me.
The lyrics to Enemy Inside's song Death of Me explore the intense and destructive power that another person can hold over someone else. The singer is consumed by their deep, passionate feelings for this other person, who seems to have complete control over them. They describe feeling like they are walking blindly through this person's inner world or "soul," where everything is dark and confusing. Despite this confusion, they are continually reaching out to this person, craving their attention and approval.
However, the other person is not some innocent bystander in this dynamic - they are described as "licensed to kill," implying that they know exactly what they are doing to the singer. They are "crawling inside [the singer's] skin" and feeding them lies that play into their deepest, most cherished fantasies. The singer is aware that this relationship is dangerous and potentially deadly, but they cannot help but be drawn to the thrill that comes with it. The other person has become an addiction, something that the singer cannot resist, even though they are well aware that it could be the "death of [them]."
In the final lines of the song, there is a glimmer of hope - the singer refers to "light to break the door," suggesting that they may be able to find a way out of this deadly cycle. However, this hope is quickly drowned out by the repetition of the chorus, reminding us that the toxic relationship still has a powerful hold over the singer.
