So long and thanks for all the shoes!

Starting in 2008, as a group of young guys hungry and craving for metal music, we began an adventure we would have never anticipated to last this long. Over almost 18 years, so many things happened, times have changed, and eventually so did our resolve to keep Enclave going.

Today marks exactly 14 years since the release of our first studio album, United Desperation, on May 19th, 2012 – and it feels like the right moment to close this chapter.

With Michi leaving the band earlier this year, we came to the conclusion that this is where we draw the line and say goodbye to Enclave.

We enjoyed the privilege of being around for such a long-ass time, meeting countless wonderful people, some even loving what we were doing, sharing the stage with childhood heroes, old friends and new ones alike. So many memories, unforgettable nights, the good, the bad and the ugly – it was one hell of a ride.

That being said, this is not necessarily the end for the remaining members. Together with a new member, we are currently working on a new project and, in a way, going through a rebranding process. Whether and when we will make ourselves publicly heard again remains to be seen.

We want to give a final shoutout to all of you who supported us over the years, to the great bands we shared the stage with and became buddies with, to the promoters and venues who gave us a chance, and to all former band members who put their time, energy and passion into keeping this band alive for so long.

See you around & cheers!

Our release

The release of United Desperation has started on 19th of May with a bang.
We thought the perfect promotion would be a concert together with and for the buddies from the local metal scene. Location of choice was of course Escape Metalcorner, one of Viennas finest Metalbars and a great place to hang out having some drinks.
Check in was at 6 p.m. followed by a small soundcheck and at 8:30 p.m. Beyond Sirius hit the stage on time to start an eve full of high class Underground Heavy Metal. They impressed with an exquisite mature mix of Death-, Prog- and Thrashelements. Rainer had the honour to do a guest vocal performance on Desert of Death (thx for that bros).
Next in line were Devilate, an energetic Viennese Thrashcore Act who turned on the bulldozer and made the crowd sweat.
Even more perfect than we could imagine was our gig. First time in front of a big, motivated crowd we played the longest and most intense Enclave show till now. Escape technician Marco did an amazing job, and with a formidable sound we gave it our all until the crowd went wild. Goose skin guaranteed.
Once more we wanna thank you all so much for making us feel like Rockstars on stage.

The Underground is still alive…
