Taking elements from death metal and black metal, Fearscape sound almost enchanted. With the addition of the classical guitaring, they have orchestrated some dramatic metal. The vocals vary from wretched screams to clean singing. While the screaming works, the singing isn’t as effective. This band doesn’t come across with aggression; rather they play some inspired metal. What I don’t like is the mixing of the drums. Especially during the thrashy faster parts, it seems that the drums drop out, or at least fall way out of the mix. The guitars take president through out the entire album, but even more so during the fast parts. I like what Fearscape have developed as their sound, but the mixing is horrid at times. Overall the album is a little too soft for me to really appreciate, but at times the Black Sabbath styled melodies shine through, and that’s what makes this album work. Overall the “Sleeping in Light” achieves the mood that Fearscape have set out for, but their music needs a heavy injection of aggression. Take notice near the end of the title track “Sleeping in Light”, they pummel out the double bass, and finally the album has made some impact. Shorter songs would also help this album out.
