![]() ![]() There was one argue between Swano and the other guys though, since Swano wanted the song to be gentle and melodic while the others wanted it more raw and brutal. The crew agreed to the idea and the process of making this huge song started to take shape. The history behind the first Crimson started when Swano suggested his crew do an album with only one song. ![]() It is a heavy song but it greatly fails to impress.ĭisc 2 is probably the most attractive disc and that’s because of the Crimson tracks. This is because of its flat song structure which makes the song boring and outdated, as it is neither catchy nor melodic. Many of the tracks really stand out because of their unique sound and structure, but the only song that doesn’t stand out would be Lost. Those songs sounds more like rock songs, as they are quite gentle and simple compared to the other tracks. Black Tears, Until Eternity Ends and Twilight are three tracks that have a very catchy song pattern plus different vocal work. There are even tracks here that would grasp non-metal fans attention as well. It is both heavy and contains strong melodies which make the song enjoyable to most people. Eternal Eclipse is also a recommended track, though it sounds similar to In Flames type of music. Those tracks have some of the best melodies of all songs, the atmospheres and song structure makes the songs unique. If you want to listen to some soothing and enjoyable music you should listen to the opus tracks Enigma (to begin with) and The Masque. But there are of course melodic tracks as well. Those three tracks have a very intense pace, as the riff work is mostly made of either tremolo picking or just plain heavy riffs while the drumming is either intense, mid-paced action, or blast-beats. If you are looking for some intense and ‘’ordinary’’ death metal you could check out songs like Human Aberration, In The Veins/Darker Than Black and perhaps Hell Written. The first disc has a mix of everything, and I mean it too. The first disc has the 14 short tracks and the second disc has the 40 minute long Crimson songs, so let’s begin with the first disc. A good and funny thing to do though, but unfortunately the lyrics from the Crimson tracks are not included in the booklet just so you know. There he mentions his ideas and thoughts about the tracks, what was great and what was bad. ![]() Dan Swano has included a little background history about every song in the booklet that follows the compilation. Plus, you have almost three albums all-in-one with When All Is Said. 14 songs (or 16 because of the Crimsons) were voted as Edge of Sanity’s greatest tracks by the fans and believe me, these are really good songs. I eventually found out about it and was pretty disappointed, but then when I looked on the back I noticed that Dan Swano had included both Crimson tracks! This is probably one of the best melodic/progressive death metal greatest compilation albums ever. I picked it up and the title was When All Is Said, I thought it was a new album so I bought it (without knowing that it was a compilation album). Just a few weeks ago I was walking in a local store and I saw the words Edge of Sanity on an album cover. After the recording of Crimson II, the band finally took its last breath and broke up in 2003, but their memory still lives today.Įdge of Sanity were just empty and uninteresting words to me before, but now when I got their compilation album my opinion about them has totally changed. They broke up in 1997 but were later activated by Swano but with guest musicians instead. Edge of Sanity had a bumpy ride through their career, and Swano was kicked out from the band. He has been playing in many other bands plus he has worked with side-projects when he is alone. Dan Swano was the front man of this band, and even he himself is very famous in the Swedish metal community. Their type of death metal delivered everything and anything, from ponderous and crushing, to melodic and emotional death metal, mixing technicality and simplicity. They have even won the so-called ‘’Zeppelin Award’’ for being Sweden’s best death metal act in 1994. They were formed in 1989 and they became one of Sweden’s top metal bands during the 90’s. Edge of Sanity was a progressive death metal band from Sweden. Review Summary: Any fan of melodic death metal must get this in one way or another!Įdge Of Sanity few people have heard of them and few have spread the word about them, and it’s time to revive their memory. ![]()
