Since 1992, Envy has become a dominant band in the independent hard-core scene in Japan. Their music, through their own evolution, encompasses a sound where intensity and beauty coexists. Overwhelmingly dense sheets of guitar float hauntingly and at times crushingly heavy. They have recorded a number of singles and albums in Japan as well released split albums with bands like This Machine Kills, Endeavor, Six Pence and Yaphet Kotto.
