Reading any newspaper makes that abundantly clear with who-knows-what on the horizon. At the moment out of everything that I can listen to, Envy's newest, Insomniac Doze , is my pick as it mixes beauty and intensity in the most passionate ways possible.
While this might sound cheesy, listening to Envy's epic sound creates epiphanies and the kind of realizations that I hear people describe when using mind-altering substances. The move from Level Plane to Temporary Residence makes perfect sense with their musical progression. Insomniac Doze ditches the massive intensive screamo parts for an emphasis on post-rock vastness. A Dead Sinking Story , their last album, was an in between stage of their more intense previous works with a bigness and intensity that felt tiring and too long-winded at times without enough gut quenching substance.
Now with Insomniac Doze they've crafted a memorable epic masterpiece that'll probably end up as record of the year. Insomniac Doze could be summed up into three different states, which will be confined into levels of epicness:. A combination of these levels of epic plus instrumental sections creates the album in question. The screaming will turn some people off, but singing just doesn't fit inside of an Ep-3 reality.
Maybe it's because I associate envy with the color green, but when I hear Insomniac Doze images of wide Lord of the Rings shots flood my head. Mountain peaks gazing over monstrous valleys oozing with life stretching towards the sun. Instead of orcs fighting the Palidans and wanky fantasy stuff like that, Envy conjures the visuals of a heard of oxen rising up towards the hungry lion and telling that motherfucker, "We won't take your shit! Unless you haven't heard Envy before, which would be a tragic mistake, then you already know how incredible this Japan-based melodic hardcore band is.

Nevertheless, A Dead Sinking Story is a great record. It's unique and it's powerful. Comfortable fans of standard post-rock may not have a need to hear this, and if they're not into screamed vocals at all, they probably won't be converted after hearing it either.
Post-rock fans looking for something fresh, and any adventurous music fan looking for something really emotional without making them look like a pansy really ought to check this out. Insomniac Doze may be the easier starting point, but A Dead Sinking Story will prove to be the more versatile and memorable of the two. In any case, the music of Envy can be a very cathartic experience, and it's cetainly worth hearing. Copyright Prog Archives, All rights reserved.
