Gifts From Enola – “The Benefits of Failure” [Bandcamp Song Stream]

Harrisonburg, VA quartet Gifts From Enola will be releasing their new full-length A Healthy Fear on November 13th via The Mylene Sheath. The record serves as the follow up to 2010’s self-titled full-length effort and their split EP with Caravels earlier this year. In true Gifts From Enola fashion, the band has continued their evolution from a promising, young instrumental post-rock band (2006’s Loyal Eyes Betrayed The Mind), to ambitious, fearless visionaries (2009’s From Fathoms), to a post-hardcore/post-metal hybrid (2010’s self-titled full-length), and now into a class of sonic madness that defies all genre tagging. The band has also premiered the first new track from the album, titled “The Benefits of Failure,” streaming below.
