Research
envy — Imagination and Creation
Played: 2026-06-11 (Segment 7 — Heavy close) (TikTok)
Track two from Eunoia (October 2024, Pelagic), the Japanese post-hardcore / screamo band's first album in four years. Blast beats and shrieking guitars under a defiant, contagiously hopeful vocal melody — the band described it as "a step forward into the future, using the past as nourishment." Opens the heavy close; the genuine, off-radar pick the show is built to platform.
TikTok angle: envy have been a band in Japan for over thirty years. This song, from their first album in four years, moves from screaming to a sung chorus and back — the band said it was about facing your own powerlessness, then looking for hope.
