Envy
Dim Mak
Envy is a massive wave of crushing hardcore from Japan. The group has been together for over a decade and released several albums including the featured All The Footprints You've Ever Left And The Fear Expecting Ahead, their third. The overwhelming album title matches the band's overwhelming sound, which consists of walls of guitar screaming over blistering drums. But Envy also knows when to reel in the aggression. They will often segue into a delicate section, giving their listeners a break and nicely offsetting and defining the power of their volume. Otherwise, Envy's intensity might be too much to take. Whether the band is screeching to a halt in a quiet section with quietly spoken vocals or slowly building into a huge passage featuring throat-destroying screams, the songs are put together wonderfully.
