About Us:


Enemy Of The State came out of Riverhead, New York on eastern Long Island. It was started by brothers Jon and Rick Rizzo as a way to start a project that fully incorporated their favorite styles of music. After recruiting Miguel Rodriguez on bass and "Rattlesnake" Jake Monkan on vocals as of February 2013, sporadic and random practices began. As of October 2014, Jeremy Governale has joined Enemy Of The State on guitar; bringing the band to a five piece. November 2015, original vocalist "Rattlesnake" Jake Monkan left Enemy Of The State due to personal matters unfortunately before being able to successfully create a completed demo. After searching for a short time Jesse Milidantri joined Enemy Of The State as their new lead vocalist in December 2015. Jesse's vocal style has greatly sharpened EOTS's metal edge with high shrieks and gutteral lows added to the already familiar fast socially conscious skate thrash sound. Within the month of February 2016 Enemy Of The State finally began to record and plan to release a professional EP. March 2016 Miguel Rodriguez, original bassist, left EOTS due to artistic and personal reasons. Scott Finn, of Long Island thrash metal band Accelerator, has stepped in as temporary bassist until a permanent member was found.  As of July 2016, Devin Stracuzza of Locus Mortis, is now our full time bass player for EOTS. Now we have our full lineup and are ready to thrash to new levels. 
On April 20th, 2016 EOTS released their first self title EP/demo. Featuring sounds similar to the old school legends as well as new school favorites.

As of November 2016, Enemy Of The State was signed to WARCRUST Records.
