Catching the attention of the Welkin Entertainment booking agency and Just Say Rock Record Label Eye of the Enemy signed on to become part of both of their artist rosters and have been growing from strength to strength ever since. Playing show after show with unrelenting aggression and energy up there with the best that the Australian metal scene had to offer.
In 2010, Eye of the Enemy released their first full length album Weight of Redemption.
The album was received with much fanfare and critical acclaim being nominated for album of the year against metal heavyweights across the globe. With standout tracks such as “A Reason for Treason”, "Facade" “Peace” and “Burn the World appealing to metal fans and non-metal fans alike.
In support of its release Eye of the Enemy played several notable shows and national tours with international bands such as:
• Amon Amarth (2 national tours)
• At the Gates
• Cradle of Filth
• Despised Icon
• Malevolent Creation
• Screamfest metal festival (Edguy, Ensifirum, Cynic, Dark Funeral, Destoryer 666 and several more)
Not to mention making a big splash in the local metal scene having played the Sonic Forge Festival 3 years in a row and several other shows with across Australia playing alongside some of the biggest names in Australian metal of the past and present.
In early 2014 Eye of the Enemy mark their return with the long awaited follow up album to Weight of Redemption, “The Vengeance Paradox.”
The album tells a cautionary tale of how “Evil begets evil”.
Track by track listeners are guided down the path of how ones delusions of grandeur and quest for vengeance have in fact turned them into the evil they vowed to destroy.
The music blends devastatingly heavy and melodic seamlessly showcasing the strengths that make Eye of the Enemy one of the most exciting metal acts today.
With an extensive touring schedule in the works starting with an Australian tour supporting Children of Bodom in May, Eye of the Enemy will be a band to look out for as they continue to take their music to the masses.

Eye of the Enemy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life is crawling out of you
But your lies and deceit will follow
Your judgment's now
Your light is about to fade
You have reached the end this way
You brought this upon yourself
And time will record your verses
You will cry them to your martyr
Martyr
Hear
The cries burning in your soul
See
The faces staring at you now
now speak
Your plea to crying hordes
Now feel
Your light is about to fade
You have reached the end this way
You brought this u[on yourself
You're to blame and no-one else
And time will record your verses
You will cry them to your martyr
Martyr
The lyrics of Eye of the Enemy's song "Facade" depict the consequences of leading a duplicitous and dishonest life. The subject of the song is on the verge of death, with life slipping away, but their lies and deceit will remain to be judged. The song calls out the subject's wrongdoing and warns them that their lies will catch up with them in the end. The subject is culpable and no one else is to blame. The song also speaks of the subject crying out in their last moments to a "martyr," who they will plead with and confess to, as time records their wrongdoings in verses.
The song uses metaphors to describe the subject's fate, with the light of their life about to fade, and the cries burning in their soul as they face judgment. The imagery of staring faces and crying hordes create a sense of shame and failure for the subject. However, the subject's most significant punishment is the knowledge that they have brought this upon themselves and that their pleading and crying will not save them from the consequences of their deceitful actions.
