Originally released in 2001 on respected Japanese punk label H.G. Fact, All the Footprints You’ve Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead introduced envy to Americans when it was licensed for limited release in 2003 on Dim Mak Records. Their original pressing sold out almost immediately, and the album fell to the fate of fetching increasingly obscene prices on eBay and Discogs. Temporary Residence Ltd. reissued envy’s back catalog in 2008, which sparked an even larger and broader interest in the band. At the heart of that historic back catalog is All the Footprints You’ve Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead – widely regarded as an innovative high-water mark for hardcore. Along with its follow-up, A Dead Sinking Story, it is justifiably viewed as an essential post-hardcore classic whose monumental footsteps created unending ripples.
