[edit] Biography

Fearscape are a Progressive Extreme Metal band from the industrial city of Wollongong, NSW. The band’s influences include Opeth, Enslaved, My Dying Bride and Coroner. This has led to an intense atmospheric sound that blends Black Metal elements with Thrash and Doom styles of Metal.

Fearscape's debut CD entitled Sleeping in Light was recorded in Melbourne in mid 2004 under the tutelage of legendary Australian death metaller Steve Rowe of Mortification. This CD has been doing well overseas via Melbourne distributor Soundmass, and has been receiving very solid reviews.

The 2007 release "Scent of Divine Blood" saw Fearscape move into a more progressive black metal sound. It was recorded at Origami Studios in Sydney, owned by Aria award winner Anton Hagop (Silverchair, Powderfinger) and engineered by Daniel Leffler (Metallica, Fear Factory). 2007 also saw Fearscape support Arcturus on the Shipwrecked in Oz tour alongside Astriaal.

This album is receiving excellent reviews worldwide, and is available from :unDark Christian Metal Store.

Fearscape have been together for almost 8 years and have played shows in Melbourne VIC, NSW, QLD and New Zealand. Since 2005 Fearscape have been establishing themselves in the Sydney scene, through gigs promoted by Metal Evilution, alongside the likes of Paramaecium, Mortification, EyeFear, Lord, Head Hammer, Aeturnus Dominion, Lycanthia, Intorment Black, Kania, Forlorn Suffering and Friar Rush.[1]

Fearscape also attended the '04 Parachute Music Festival in New Zealand. [2]
