No strangers to the Atlanta music scene, Dear Enemy blends their metal core with heartfelt vocals and alternative instrumentals for a sound with vast appeal. Their 2006 EP “Walking Past Yesterday” was produced by Corey Lowery and earned the respect and admiration of a slew of fans and over 3500 copies sold. “Believe The Rumors”, the 2008 full-length album, scored the band tours and opening slots for acts such as Sevendust, Chevelle, Alterbridge, Red, Hoobastank, Three Days Grace, and Taproot. Their new EP “Words of the Wicked” was also produced by Corey Lowery, and reiterates each band member’s contributions as well as their trademark powerful delivery. Dear Enemy’s sound is maturing as a group and solidifying their notch on the industry’s belt. The album explodes into “Erase” a commandingly demented delivery of remorseless drums, infectious energy, and twisted guitar. The bipolar addition of “Playing the Victim” is a dramatically defensive song with dynamic changes in melodies and demanding guitar that create an extremely marketable sound with mass appeal. The gripping turmoil of “Nothing In Return” proves the band’s diversity and lyrical delivery, featuring a killer guitar and a balance of radiance and gloom. Tribal drums lead the listener into the animalistic “Voices Carry” with a fuse of carnivorous growls and melodic cries. The title track “Words of the Wicked” includes more alternative influences, pummeling drums, and unapologetic vocals. The guitar solos that pop up on this EP are a welcome addition and the percussion strengthens songs. With its contagious energy and skillful dispatch, “Words of the Wicked” is sure to seize the attention of its listeners.
