Enterprise Earth is an American deathcore band from Spokane, Washington.[1] Former members, vocalist Dan Watson (formerly of Infant Annihilator) and guitarist BJ Sampson (formerly of Takeover), formed the band in mid-2014.[2] At the beginning of the spring, 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.

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