Envy Balance Delicacy and Destruction on "Blue Moonlight"
To be a successful metal band, one that crosses the heavy music barrier and gains respect and admiration from other, probably non-tattooed or pierced casual listeners, you've got to make music that can't be categorized. Easier said then done, right? It is possible: Shoegaze black metal titans Deafheaven take beautiful, long-winded indie-approved guitar riffs and distort them. They grab typically delicate intros and fuck them up...and they learned it from Envy.
The four-letter Japanese post-hardcore band invented the move. Today, the iconic-yet-obscure group have released "Blue Moonlight," their first new track in five years.
