In a World of Fear is the sixth studio album by American instrumental progressive metal band Scale the Summit.

[10] On October 17, 2016, Scale the Summit announced that they are writing new material for the forthcoming album.

[11] On December 20, after a rocky few months of accusations and line-up changes, the band headed back to the studio.

[13] At Ultimate Guitar, the staff rated the album 9 out of 10 and stated: "Overall, Scale the Summit has done quite well to weather the changes of the past year, and while certainly there will be opinions one way or another on the line-up changes, the main thing we can take from In a World of Fear is that as far as the band's music goes, they're still more than capable of putting out some of the best quality instrumental progressive metal out there.

The variety of sounds on this record is something the band hasn't played with on this level yet, and this is definitely a good thing.
