# Enemy Soil

**Enemy Soil** is a grindcore band, active 1991 to 1999.

Enemy Soil was an American grindcore band from Sterling, Virginia, formed in 1991. The band played a style of grindcore that was influenced heavily by hardcore punk, and featured many line-up changes throughout its run, with frontman Richard Johnson acting as its core. Because the group initially was unable to find a suitable drummer, earlier Enemy Soil recordings featured a drum machine. The group's music was also politically-motivated early in their career, however later recordings instead featured introspective topics for lyrics.
