Description
The progressive death metal genre is a diverse movement, but even within this, Entheos stand out as a unique entity. Originally formed in 2015 with guitarist Frank Costa and bassist Evan Brewer, since 2020 the lineup has been stripped down to core founding members drummer Navene Koperweis - who has now also taken on guitar duties - and vocalist Chaney Crabb, and they have never been more vital. Taking their name from a Greek word that translates to "the god within", the band's philosophy can be drawn from its meaning. Armed with a sound that amalgamates death metal, groove, grunge, electronica, slam, gothic rock, jazz, prog and more, they are a wholly unpredictable beast that has evolved over the course of their career. Their debut EP Primal was dropped in 2015, first full-length The Infinite Nothing following in 2016. ." Their most recent release was 2017's more progressive-oriented Dark Future, which is their deepest and darkest record, lyrically influenced by the suicide of a close friend of Crabb's. In support of these records, the band have toured with the likes of The Black Dahlia Murder, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Veil of Maya, Revocation, The Contortionist, Intronaut, Goatwhore, Between the Buried and Me, Born of Osiris, Rivers of Nihil, Beyond Creation, Conjurer, Iron Reagan and many more, building a steady following and carving out a niche for themselves, but it is only now that they are truly coming into their own.
