Fearscape
Scent Of Divine Blood
While some old school metal cliches make their way into the mix, this black metal band from Wollongong in New South Wales, Australia takes something familiar (like the opening bass runs of the 9-minute opus “Inheritance Of Dust”) and slaps it upside your head with enough velocity, technical proficiency and production brilliance that it’ll do more to remind you just why you love metal than anything else. Three years in the making, Fearscape has topped their Sleeping In Light 2004 debut (Rowe Productions) by seemingly crafting exactly the type of beautifully heavy music they wanted to with these six songs, giving no thought to length, knowing that the right vibe and emotion can take its time. This is doom, thrash, black and progressive metal extremely well done. [Fearscape] Doug Van Pelt
