Envy create the most intense fusion of emotive ballads with ferocious teeth gritting screaming hardcore. They have created their own sound with their speedy guitars, loud pounding bombastic drums, heavy screams in Japanese, and pummeling fretless bass lines. Think somewhere between Yaphet Kotto and Mogwai. They have recorded a plethora of singles for mainly Japanese labels and have done split records with bands from Endeavor, Six Pence, to This Machine Kills, Iscariote and in the future again with This Machine Kills and Yaphet Kotto.

Their live shows are like a tornado, leaving people crying in the crowd out of pure emotional intensity. No joke.
