Fear of the Unknown is the debut solo album by the English rock musician Martin Briley, released in 1981 by Mercury Records.
Although most of the album features the same brand of pop that Briley would play throughout his solo career, the title track is a final salute to Briley's progressive rock background, featuring menacing distorted vocals and paranoiac violin riffs reminiscent of King Crimson. Fear of the Unknown is more self-contained than most of Briley's solo albums, being the only one on which he played all the guitars himself, and the only one which he co-produced.
The cover artwork was painted by Norman Walker. Briley, having studied graphic design, had a lot of input on the artwork and wanted the album to have a photo-realistic cover.[3]
