Envy – Insomniac Doze
I don’t normally go for metal, but this I like this. It’s very mellow in parts and sort of melancholy. The screaming vocals convey something closer to sadness then anger, and it actually feels like honest, complex emotion and not cartoonish nu-metal or emo.

From Amazon:
In 1991, a group of Japanese teenagers formed an uncompromising thrash band, spitting two-minute blasts of indecipherable terror for anyone who could stand the physical and emotional damage it inflicted. Fifteen years later, punk’s corpse has been cannibalized to the bone and Envy has irreparably blurred the lines dividing the various factions of hardcore. Still terrifyingly sincere, their songs are now life-affirming, triumphant portraits for anyone strong-willed enough to withstand the emotional epiphanies they inspire.
