Bio
Q:
What do you get if you cross Hawkwind, Kyuss, Pink Floyd, Orange
Goblin and an unhealthy obsession with psychotic space chimps?
A:
Enos!
Having
played many shows all over the UK Enos have gained a reputation as a
band to been seen and heard loud and live. A reputation that was
cemented by the 2010 release of their first recording, Chapter 1 and
backed up in 2012 with the release of All Too Human.
Enos’
music goes hand in hand with the comic they share their name with.
Following the story of the eponymous chimpanzee the music switches
from psychedelia, hard and solid riffing and relaxed passages to
narrate the tale of Enos’ adventures.
Chapter
1 has gained the much critical acclaim within the underground music
scene with Enos being Terrorizer Magazine’s featured artist on
their site in November of 2011 and Soundshock’s featured artist in
December of the same year.
Since
the release of the band's critically acclaimed second album All Too
Human in December 2012 Enos have gone on to tour Europe and the UK,
play several festivals, released a Live EP (The East Slope) and have
a live DVD on the way.

Review:
ENOS
– One of the UK’s finest upcoming Psychedelic/Space/Stoner Metal
Bands have made a name for themselves over the last few years. Mainly
through their debut offering – Chapter 1 and their critically
acclaimed follow-up album – All Too Human.
I
am a huge fan of these guys and they are a formidable live act as I
had the chance to see the guys in Leeds earlier this year along with
Mother Corona and Abrahma. ENOS told me a while ago that a Live DVD
was in the works and would be released very soon. Well I am pleased
to see the guys have finally released their long-awaited debut Live
DVD – Live at the East Slope.
The
DVD was recorded from their Vinyl Release Party back on 22nd March 2013.
Here is my take on the psychedelic madness that went down that
fateful night. Lead Guitarist/Singer – Chris – advised me before
he sent the promo DVD to me – You don’t suffer from Epilepsy do
you? As there were a ton of strobe light effects used on the night.
And we would advise not to watch it.
With
that lovely warning from Chris still playing in the back of my mind,
I pressed Play on my Blu-Ray player and my 50-inch Plasma TV lit up
like an exploding planet with the volume blasting my TV’s speakers
to dust. I was blown away by the clarity of the sound. It is loud and
crisp from the start as ENOS get the cosmic party started with All
Too Human played to a highly energetic crowd.
The
live DVD combines ENOS majestic live performance spliced with
different science fiction based clips through out the 66 minute run
time. The DVD has a long lost footage movie quality to it, as the
picture can be very grainy at times. The DVD mixes raw psychedelic
overtones with a ton of strobe lighting effects that Chris warned me
about earlier. Though it actually adds to the atmosphere as it takes
you to another dimension.
The
presentation of the DVD is fantastic through out but it is the sound
is where this DVD deserves top-marks. You can hear every note, which
the band plays and sings. I swear that my neighbours were banging on
the wall for me to turn down the volume though it was at a very low
setting. The DVD cover states this is an accurate recording of what
was performed on the night.
So
enough about technical issues. What about the gig itself. ENOS blast
their way through a stunning array of tracks from their first two
releases. All Too Human comes screeching at you from all directions
as ENOS blend of Psych/Space-Rock/Stoner Metal riffs will leave you
in an hypnotic trance. ENOS leave communications with the audience to
the bare minimum and that is a wise decision, as they blitz there way
through a stunning set list that will have fans rocking out to each
spaced out riff.
All
the ENOS classics are there for everybody to fully experience and
hear. In Space, Floating, Launch, Another Solution, Who Knew? and
Back To Earth. Though one of the highlights has to be – Collisions
– as ENOS bring on Sigrid Jakobsen to lend her sultry vocals live
on stage. She is on fire through out with the band laying down some
heavy psychedelic riffs. It more than matches the version they
recorded for the album – All Too Human.
ENOS
– Live At The East Slope – is a thrilling and exiting visual
treat that proves why ENOS have such a formidable live reputation
within the UK Hard Rock/Stoner Metal scene. This captures ENOS at
their most raw and honest. If you are a first time listener to ENOS
then this DVD is the perfect introduction to their spaced out
melodies. For long time fans this is a must have release to add to
your ENOS collection.
Awesome.
End Of.
Thanks
To ENOS for sending me a copy to review. ENOS – Live At The East
Slope – will be available to buy directly from the band from August
2nd 2014.
