In The Silence/A Fair Dream Gone Mad/Sensory Records/2013 CD Review


  In  The  Silence  are  a  band  from  Sacramento,  California  that  plays  a  very  progressive  form  of  metal  with  some  gothic/doom  metal  influences  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "A  Fair  Dream  Gone  Mad"  which  was  released  by  Sensory  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  drumming  with  no  fast  playing  or  blast  beats  being  present on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from s low  to  mid  paced  progressive  metal  riffs  that  take  some  influences  from  the  more  extreme  genres  as  metal  as  well  as  having  a  good  amount of  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  progressive  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  add  more  progressive  elements  to  the  recording.

  Vocals  are  all  clean  singing,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  dark  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  some  of  the  songs  being long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  In  The  Silence  are  a  very  great  sounding  dark/progressive  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should c heck  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Ever  Closer"  "Beneath  These  Falling  Leaves"  "Endless  Sea"  and  "Your  Reward".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
