OH, HEY, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT ENVY

And now Revolver has debuted a new video from the Japanese hardcore band, for “Worn Heels and the Hands We Hold.” It’s kind of like one of those Levi’s commercials you see sometimes, in that the poetic imagery is actually kinda clichéd, but it looks purdy, and placed against the backdrop of the right soundtrack, suddenly feels profound, as long as you don’t think about it for too long (Why is this poor chick wandering in the woods?). But at least it’s not the same-old-same-old we see in every other metal video, right? And the “right soundtrack,” in this case, happens to be awesome, awesome music, so that’s nice.

The clip isn’t embeddable, but you can watch it here.

“Worn Heels and the Hands We Hold” comes off of Envy’s latest, Recitation, which comes out via Temporary Residence on October 12. Envy kick off a U.S. headlining tour this Saturday; get dates here.
