For the first time ever, a salacious selection of EDGE OF SANITY's obscure, earliest recordings are available officially. Titled “Elegy - Chapter I”, the band’s early (promo, rehearsal or studio) demos “Euthanasia” (1989), “The Immortal Rehearsals” (1990), “kur-nu-gi-a” (1990), “The Dead” (1990) and “Dead But Dreaming” (1991) were hearsed from the cemetary to the mortuary for reanimation by songwriter/frontman/producer Dan Swanö (Opeth, Dissection, Bloodbath).
Featuring a brand-new, hand-drawn cover by visual artist Mark Rudolph (Carcass, Undeath), “Elegy - Chapter I” is by the old guard for all guards to relive or unearth afresh. EDGE OF SANITY weren’t always on the bleeding edge of death metal. No, on “Elegy - Chapter I” the Swedes actually bled death metal. This is a collection of underground old school Swedish death metal at its best!
All five demos have been remastered by Swanö, with the 13 tracks of “Euthanasia”, “kur-nu-gi-a” and “The Dead”.
Dark green LP
Following the successful launch of the comprehensive reissue campaign for the precious musical legacy of Sweden's pioneering melodic death metal band Edge of Sanity, which began in 2024, the final titles of the fourth and final chapter are now set to be released in spring 2026.
Led by the band's vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and acclaimed metal producer Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia, Dissection, Bloodbath, Nightingale, etc.), Edge of Sanity's entire catalogue has been fully remastered and partly remixed by Swanö himself. It will finally be extensively available again in several attractive versions.
Cryptic, Edge of Sanity's 1997 death metal album featuring the then-new vocalist Robert Karlsson (Scar Symmetry, Pan.Thy.Monium, Facebreaker, Darkified), who replaced Dan Swanö, is finally available again as a remastered version on CD and LP.
