Edge Of Sanity
Edge Of Sanity was one of the top Swedish death metal bands of
the early nineties, as well as the main vehicle for
been a well-respected producer in the Swedish metal community.
While the early-to-mid material such as
Purgatory Afterglow were
quite good, the band arguably peaked with the ambitious
Crimson ,
consisting entirely of a single, impressively performed
40-minute song.
Their followup,
Infernal , though not bad, appears to foreshadow
recruited Robert Karlsson as new vocalist and recorded one last
album,
Cryptic , which was somewhat of a return to the
faster, less melodic early period of the band.
After the release of the
Evolution compilation (which
features, as many compilations do, various remixes and unreleased
material), the members drifted apart and the band eventually
broke up, though not with any real announcement.
Finally,
recording
Crimson II essentially as a solo release with some
help from various friends.
The band was formally dissolved soon afterward.
