Kicking off our Edge of Sanity songs list is the title track of the band’s one and only EP released in 1994. In addition to this and two other original songs, the EP also features a cover of “Invisible Sun” by The Police. The songs on this EP were not included on any of the band’s full length albums and they were released on this EP because the ban...
Our next track is from the final Edge Of Sanity album Crimson 2 released in 2003 that is a conceptual sequel to Crimson released in 1996. The album is only classed as an Edge Of Sanity album due to being released under the name, with Dan Swano being the only original member to be featured on it.
This song is the opening track of the band’s seventh album released in 1997 titled Cryptic.This is the only Edge of Sanity album not to feature Dan Swano. In his place is Robert Karlsson who had previously played with Swano in Pan.Thy.Monium. This line-up was short lived and the band would split up after this release.
This track is from the band’s sixth album Infernal released earlier in 1997. This was Dan Swano’s last album with the band before his departure. As previously stated, Swano would record under the name after the band’s dissolvement essentially as a one-man band. His other band Nightingale recorded a cover of this song.
Although technically speaking, 1996’s Crimson is all one big track, it can be split into separate tracks, and this entry on our list refers to opening five minutes of the record. The album is forty minutes long and deals with apocalyptic themes dealing with the end of humanity. It is often considered to be the band’s best work.
This track is from the band’s fourth album Purgatory Afterglow released in 1994. A music video was made for this song. It has also received two cover versions, one by Eternal Tears Of Sorrow and the other by Heaven Shall Burn. The album was dedicated to the memory of the Nirvanafrontman Kurt Cobain who had died earlier that year.
This song is from Edge Of Sanity’s third album The Spectral Sorrows released in 1993. This album marked the beginning of the band’s transition from a pure death metal band into a more progressive one. This track in particular has a much cleaner style of vocals and is rather reminiscent of goth bands such as Sisters Of Mercy.
At number three is this cut from the band’s second album Unorthodox released in 1992. Dan Swano has named this as his favorite Edge of Sanity album and has even described it as being perfect. Although this is mainly a death metal album, this track does feature some of the cleaner style of vocals that would become more prominent on later albums. Thi...
This song is taken from the band’s debut album Nothing But Death Remains released in 1991 which is a very solid debut. Although it may not be as unique as their later material, the musicianship is definitely very impressive for a band who were just starting out. There are certainly some killer riffs on the album, of which this opening track is one ...
Topping our Edge Of Sanity is another “track” from the Crimson record that makes up the final seven minutes. Although the album is split into eight tracks on digital formats, when it was originally released in 1996 it was all classed as a forty-minute song. This was a record that is very similar to Opeth. Although that might seem like an obvious co...
