ENVOYS are a largely instrumental, heavy rock quartet from Leeds, West Yorkshire, consisting of guitars, bass and drums with occasional flourishes of vocals. ENVOYS can be described as a post-rock/-metal band, but the varied, evolving sound of debut album Violescent suggests this description falls somewhat short.
The band's influences come from many genres of heavy, experimental, and progressive music. ENOVYS' first demo drew favourable comparisons with Russian Circles, Pelican, Don Caballero and Cult of Luna.
The band released their Debut Album, Violescent, on 29th July 2013 after self financing and recording the album between September 2012 - April 2013. A pre sale was a humbling but necessary experience to get the album pressed to Vinyl, and the result, along with many UK and European tours, has won many admirers.

The version of 'Every Country's Sun' is so grand and full of pride and loss that it should be over Match of the Day highlights when Scotland get kicked out of major football tournaments.

Sleepmakeswaves is one of the best bands out there that blend ethereal tracks with other tracks with beautiful interlaced guitar playing, as if both players are feeding off of the energy of the other, creating a massive and powerful energy that cannot be stopped! This is one fantastic record, and is easily one you can put the whole album on and love every single song. Charlie Mayer
