A Fair Dream Gone Mad is one heck of a progressive metal album, debut or not. Did that just get your attention? Not convinced? Well, you won't be expecting many of the clichés of this sub-genre here, nor references to Dream Theater, Riverside, Fates Warning and such.

Whoa! Where did this come from?!
What In The Silence have managed to achieve with this, their self-financed & independently released debut is nothing short of remarkable. The beautiful yet haunting atmosphere, intricate songwriting & talented musicianship displayed throughout this album will leave you spellbound. This may well just be one of the best debut albums of the year. A must for all fans of progressive metal.
Go check them out.

I've been focusing on this album the last few days. I have to keep reminding myself THIS IS A DEBUT RECORD. Loose around the edges, the production could use some tidying up and the variety of songs isn't the best but after all that I look forward to hearing what these guys come up with next. Bright future.

High-quality simple songwriting. Leans further towards rock rather than metal IMO...

Not bad at all for a debut record. We'll see the future...if there is a futur after the december 21th.

Looking back on the genre debate on this band, something has dawned on me. In The Silence reminds me of the new prog (or post-prog) movement that is present in the softer rock along the likes of Anathema. Another modern metal band that comes to mind is Chaos Divine, who have a bit more aggressive sound on their latest album. Looks like there's a post-progressive metal scene emerging.

This is an incredible release for a debut. One of my favorite albums this year. Definitely got something special going on here.

I keep coming back to this album after 6 months of listening to it. The only thing I wish this had was some death metal vocals to add some harshness, but that's just my opinion. Very good debut indeed.

I was searching something similar to In The Silence genre then i read this, i listened their 2nd album and i agree 100% with you...
These guys deserve more, u all should listen "The Human Connection" album, but don't forget they are not a clone of IThS, just the same genre so don't expect they to sound like IThS...
Good listening...

It reminds me of another band, but I can't think who.
