"Enemy" led off Seasons, Sevendust's fourth studio album, in 2003, and it's personal to the point of spite. Drummer Morgan Rose wrote it with Butch Walker, and by Rose's own telling it's aimed squarely at Coal Chamber frontman Dez Fafara; Rose was married at the time to Coal Chamber bassist Rayna Foss-Rose, and the song's working title, "Pez", was his scornful nickname for Fafara.
Walker produced and recorded it with the band co-producing, and Jay Baumgardner mixed. John Connolly and Clint Lowery grind away on guitars over Vinnie Hornsby's bass and Rose's drums, a nu metal pressure cooker. It gave Sevendust their first top 10 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, stalling at No. 10, and peaked at 30 on Modern Rock Tracks, their last visit there.
