ENVY - Last Wish: Live Liquidroom Tokyo 2xLP

Label: Pelagic

Envy played only one show after the worldwide release of their critically acclaimed album The Fallen Crimson in February 2020, and before COVID-19 made the world of live music come to an indefinite halt: a crazy, sweaty, sold-out hometown show at Liquidroom, a venue that has become sort of an extended living room for the Tokyo band. It's hard not to become melancholic listening to this audio snapshot of a glorious evening, and remembering the sheer raw energy oozing from this band on stage the sight to behold that is envy live. "We were lucky that we were able to play this one gig before all live shows were canceled due to the COVID-19 situation", says vocalist Testu Fukagawa. "The performance itself is a bit rough and we could probably have performed better, but we wanted to send our fresh feelings to our fans by means of this performance, while they can't see envy live".
