Envy Of None… Not Dead Yet!

With an unyielding spirit and defiant energy, ‘Not Dead Yet’ is the latest offering from Envy Of None, released in time for the Halloween season.

Featuring the masterful musicianship of Rush’s Alex Lifeson (guitars), Coney Hatch’s Andy Curran (Bass, keyboards, backing vocals), Alf Annibalini (Guitar, keyboards), and Randy Cooke (Drums), with Maiah Wynne delivering lead vocals, Envy Of None has been conjuring a unique blend of classic, progressive rock and modern, vibrant textures. 

Speaking on the song’s meaning, Wynne, who penned the lyrics, said that it was inspired by Curran’s raw chorus line: “I’m not dead yet, come on along and see what I am good for.” She described the track as a cathartic anthem, one that embodies resilience and defiance against the forces that aim to tear us down. “Simply continuing to exist, to create, and to fight is inspiring and powerful. You have to continue to exist, to create, and to fight. That’s the heart of the song: keep going and enjoy the ride.”

The single is accompanied by a video inspired by the Mexican Dia De Los Muertos’ Day of the Dead holiday, and was produced by Mariano Biotico. 

‘Not Dead Yet’ unfolds as a layered journey, driving forward with tight rhythms and Alex Lifeson’s legendary guitar lines. The breakdown, Wynne’s favourite part, is the song’s emotional peak, offering listeners a moment of release before launching back into its resilient conclusion.

Envy Of None is busy in the studio finishing off their next album and the follow up to 2022’s self-titled debut, expected in Spring 2025.
