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 βA Reason for Treasonβ, "Facade" βPeaceβ and βBurn the World appealing to metal fans and non-metal fans alike.

β’ Cradle of Filth
β’ Despised Icon
β’ Malevolent Creation

In early 2014 Eye of the Enemy mark their return with the long awaited follow up album to Weight of Redemption, βThe Vengeance Paradox.β
The album tells a cautionary tale of how βEvil begets evilβ.
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.

Eye of the Enemy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm giving up on any hope I had of thinking you would wake the fuck up
From this pathetic shit that you call image, how shallow do you go
This is war
It's getting stronger, the rising feeling, break through the fire
Every waking word I laugh at how I've heard you cry it to the ones who've always got you burned
Fuck you, you self serving hypocrite, seen it all before and it makes me sick, sick.
Send in the clone's one by one, hate to say bitch ass it's been done.
This is not my will or reason, give into selfish ways blinded by my indecision of myself and my desperate ways
Pray for murder, paving the way for murder, our souls decay for murder, paving the way for murder
Pray for murder, paving the way for murder, our souls decay for murder until the end had come for all
It's getting stronger, the rising feeling, break through the fire
Every waking word I laugh at how I've heard you cry it to the ones who've always got you burned
Fuck you, you self serving hypocrite, seen it all before and it makes me sick, sick.
Send in the clone's one by one, hate to say bitch ass it's been done.
It's been fucking done
