Biography

We’re stoked to announce that envy have joined our roster. The Tokyo 6-piece made a return to the scene with the release of last year’s digital single „Alnair in August“, and a few European shows this summer… including a fulminant performance at Hellfest, where the band completely destroyed the stage, the crowd and all bands before and after them.

We were there, we got destroyed. This left us all longing for more, and finally we are relieved to tell you that a new envy release is on its way!

Comments the band: „We are excited to be part of Pelagic Records and looking forward to release amazing records with them. Keep on track with our upcoming releases and hope to see you all at our EU tour in December 2019!”

Much has been made of vocalist Tetsuya Fukugawa's own skill at commanding this dichotomy and thus their live shows have grown in legend over the years. The band is also noted for their deep and poetic lyrics.

Their early sound was purely influenced by some of the grittiest hardcore and screamo out there, as evidenced by the albums "Breathing and Dying in this Place…" and "From Here to Eternity". It is worth noting Tetsuya's vocals became harsher and more guttural as the years progressed. His recurrent use of clean vocals and spoken word, often within the same song, should also be no
