...Not many musicians influenced by punk, hardcore and metal are also well versed in poetry,literatureandcomparativereligion.
Then again, notmanymusicians are in Senses Fail.
While dozens of their peers continue to create soul-rendering music about the girls who shattered their
heartsandruinedtheirlives, the BergenCounty,New Jersey five piece takes a more intellectual approach to sonic catharsis.
EventhenameSensesFail comes from frontman Buddy Nilelsen'sinterest inspirituality.
The band's full-length debut, Let It Enfold You, is a melodic and an emotionally revealing slugfest that
divesintounusualandrefreshing subjectmatter.The title track is named after a poem by nihilistic author and poet
CharlesBukowski,"The IronyofDying on Your Birthday" draws from the workofmythologist Joseph Campbell and the lyrics of
"SlowDance" arecomprisedoflines from Dao De Jing.

coupleweeksafter itsrelease,the band was being courted by largerlabels. Thecollection sold well, and the band supported it
withnumerouswell-recievedtours, including Finch, Millencolin, and The Starting Line. From TheDepths ofDreams would later be
re-issuedwithtwo bonustracks.
After they finished touring, Senses Fail returned to the studio with Saves The Day producer Steve Evetts to
recordLetItEnfoldYou, their mostchallenging and rewarding experience to date. "We killed ourselves over and over trying
tosaywhatwewanted, and make the record the best itcould be,"Nielsen says. "I just feel like we got lucky to be where we
arenow,andnowwe have to prove ourselves and really earn it..
