Envy is one of the foremost hardcore/screamo bands of Japan. They have a large following outside of their native Japan, and are signed to Rock Action Records in Europe and Temporary Residence Limited in North America, though originally they worked with Level Plane Records. More recently in their career, Envy's music has grown to include softer passages and powerful climaxes, which now accompany their hardcore roots.
