Imagine yourself reaching the highest level of accomplishment in the music industry. Imagine being signed to a major record label such as Warner Brothers and being well known in the industry. Now imagine giving all that up to start a new band from scratch. This is exactly what happened to Daniel Castady when he decided to start The Fold. The Fold is a impressive group of talented musicians from Chicago that will hook you in with their debut from Tooth and Nail Records, â┚¬Ã…” This Too Shall Passâ┚¬?.
Debut releases from bands are seen as being an example provided to the fans to give them a taste of what the band is about. Many debuts arenâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t seen as being too impressive but The Fold breaks that assumption and shoves it back in your face. â┚¬Ã…”This Too Shall Passâ┚¬? is a fourteen song record that will hang you upside down, throw you into the ocean, revive you with inspiration lyrics, and leave you wanting for more.
The record begins with the sound of pounding drums which is followed by the flawless sounding voice of Daniel Castady. Each song on this record is catchy and possesses that hook that reels you in as The Foldâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s newest fan. This is one of the most impressive and outstanding records to not only come from Tooth and Nail but from any other record label. Listening to the fourteen tracks, you will find yourself hitting every emotion your body and mind can handle. You will find yourself in a positive giddy mood on some songs. Other songs you will find yourself in a deep daze rethinking every moment in your life. Lastly, some songs will just inspire you and motivate you into finding hope inside tragedy.
My hat is off to every single person that was involved in this record, from the band themselves to the record label to the well known producer, Steven Haigler. They have created a record that has perfectly captured the essence of The Fold. They have created a record that everyone will love, a record leaving them in shock, awe, and every other emotion to showcase astonishment. Fourteen tracks serving as a melting pot of fast paced catchy melodies , techno beats, acoustic guitars, inspiring intelligent lyrics, and everything else in between.
Congratulations to The Fold, youâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢ve created the perfect soundtrack to everyday living with a new introduction by amazement.
