About

Envy isn't just a band; it's a sonic earthquake dressed in the delicate intricacies of post-hardcore and screamo. Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, this collective sculpts breathtaking soundscapes that seamlessly blend the ferocious intensity of metalcore with the ethereal beauty of post-rock, creating a deeply emotive and often cathartic experience. Formed in the early '90s, Envy carved their niche within the underground scene before their seminal album, *Insomniac Doze*, catapulted them onto the international stage, exposing a raw vulnerability rarely seen in heavier genres. Their relentless touring schedule and uncompromising artistic vision have cemented their status as pioneers, influencing countless bands in the screamo and post-metal scenes. Envy's cultural impact lies in their ability to transcend language barriers, connecting with audiences through the sheer power and palpable emotion of their music. Collaborations with artists like Jesu’s Justin Broadrick further blurred genre lines, showcasing their experimental spirit. With each album, Envy continues to push the boundaries of sonic exploration, their recent work demonstrating a matured sound while retaining the band's signature emotional intensity, cementing their legacy as legends of the underground.
