Mercenary - Blood Tapes Soundtrack

Lyrics:

Place your trust in me I will be the voice that sets you free 
Believing in my intentions provided for the defenseless 
I salivate as you cast your vote, Reveal a taste of the evil inside 
Before your eyes my body twists, a convulsing dark entity

Once the innocence has been flushed from our eyes 
The feeling of disgust but now subject to chastise 
It's now too late you helped create 
This evil beast with just one trait 
To infiltrate, indoctrinate, all lives in reach he will devastate 
No compromise, meet your demise, gaining power from all his lies 
Stalking the weak, as he sinks his teeth, leaving the smell of rotted meat

Through a sheltered coddled worthless life never been starved never had to deal with strife 
Now your grown and you feel the pain your reality of life every single day 
Your face is pushed up to the grinder let that serve you as a reminder 
That your life is a used up piece of and your soul is a hollow pit 
YOUR DEAD

Inception

Political Cancer (Radio Edit)

Thousands of starving mouths, flood the walls 
Disbursed upon the gates on which they crawl 
Clawing biting gouging there's no return to the hell 
From which they have come 
Driven to insanity 
From the pointed end of a gun

Born into your private hell 
It's the only world you've ever known 
You live to serve the overlord 
Who sits and grins up on his throne

Murder, theft, drugs, trafficking of souls 
Ordered to do so for the lust of gold 
If you fall off and don't do what you're told 
Then they leave your body lying cold

Head bagged bound and gagged 
You're driven to your shallow grave 
Thrown into a 6-foot ditch 
You'll never see the light of day

“Visceral howls lock horns with sinister grooves as this Texan four-piece blaze through five tracks ripped from thrash's nether regions.”
- Metal Hammer Magazine

Gnarly, confrontational and relentless - Overt Enemy are delivering the next generation of Texas thrash metal. 
Formed as a Slayer tribute band in 2013 by drummer Jaime Ayala and frontman Leo Ortiz, Overt Enemy has since evolved into one of the fastest growing metal acts in Texas. With a uniquely versatile set that blends razor sharp originals and unerring Slayer covers, Overt Enemy have honed a sound that is wholly their own. Rather than aping Slayer, Overt Enemy’s original music also draws from bands like Pantera, Strapping Young Lad and Corrosion of Conformity. They emphasize an aggressive clean vocal delivery, thought provoking lyrics and a classic twin guitar attack. Their distinct stage show and potent songs has them well on their way to becoming Texas’s go to thrash metal band.

The bands relentless work ethic as well as the addition of guitarist Robert Hahn and bassist Slayerella, the wife of frontman Leo Ortiz, has seen them rapidly grow. Once a one-off tribute band, they now destroy clubs throughout the South Texas region.

By collaborating with Confused Records on their 2018 debut, Inception, the group has built a worldwide fan base and embraced all manner of opportunities including supporting national acts like The Accused, Sons of Texas & Shattered Sun. Simultaneously, Overt Enemy have built strong relationships with their local rock station, KFRQ 94.5FM as well as international stations like Castledown FM in the UK and received favorable press from magazines/websites including Metal Hammer & Metal Injection. Suffice it to say, the groups infectious grooves have started to conquer the world.

Now, the band looks to the future with their new album, Possession. Having once more entered the studio with producer/engineer Joshua Lopez (Immortal Guardian) the band is sounding more vicious than ever. With growing underground buzz & tour dates being locked in around the region it seems like there is no stopping the band who seek to conquer the Lone Star State. In 2019 Overt Enemy have honed their thrash sound into something unique, modern and utterly contagious. The Texas metal scene has always been thirsty for blood, and Overt Enemy plan to give it to them!
