Enemynside are a young and talented band from Italy, playing Heavy Metal with some Thrash Metal parts. There idols are noone else than the four horsemen. Well, ``In the Middle of Nowhere`` will actually not compete with the classics of the Metallicats, but we are actually taking of one of the biggest and most succesful metal band worldwide…
Enemynside can really convince with their capabilites as musicians as well as with their songwriting. So they have asome advance compared to many other newcomer bands.
