This is an excellent work for their debut album. I see so much potential here. Some of the songs sends chills down my spine. Awesome guys.

This album stands as a shining example of how to perfect your influences. I hope they're not done, but if this does happens to be all that In The Silence do, as an album, A Fair Dream Gone Mad is the best alternative metal debut of the decade.

Wow... Now first albums (usually) do not sound this momentous w/o some prior background in music (ex: Katatonia). Somehow this album encompassed hard rock instrumentation and created an atmospheric quality w/ the use of prog rock (odd) time signatures. Now I HAVE to listen to Katatonia in the near future! On an unrelated note, if Ceterum were to follow this quality, I think they could've been a 4/5...

Super catchy doom-inspired melodic metal. The Katatonia comparisons are not without merit, such as their short-lived grit on Viva Emptiness. Vocals are more emotional though, somewhere between Mikael Akerfeldt and Ray Alder. Not to be outdone, the instrumental aspects are on the lively side while retaining a bit of melancholic influence. Taken together, this is a nice example of familiar qualities organized in such a way that it begins to feel fresh.

Interesting self-released debut from a very promising Sacramento band. With a good label support and the right producer to help the band maximize their creative potential, "In the Silence" will take a step forward.
