It was about the time of The Spectral Sorrows that Edge of Sanity became truly interesting and worthy of massive attention. Their previous releases, Unorthodox and Nothing But Death Remains, had moments of mild interest but overall were somewhat lacking in the truth dynamic punch that marked later EOS. On The Spectral Sorrows, the production had become immense and destructive, filled with dirty distortion and an overall monstrous sound befitting of this sort of music. Flowing tempos ranging from midpaced death stomps to the raging aggression (matched with a very beautiful lead guitar line) of "The Masque" make for a varied and good listen. EOS had improved their songwriting skills considerably and it shows throughout. My favorite moment, of course, is the more power metal-ish "Sacrificed" with Dan Swanö's clean vocals and an almost gothic approach. Needless to say, The Spectral Sorrows began a trio of required releases that included the monumental Purgatory Afterglow and the genre-defining Crimson. Review by: Gravedaddy666 I consider this the keystone to the Edge of Sanity discography. Here we see the personality of Dan really turning the band into something unique and most of these songs are super classics. This also begins the tradition of Edge of Sanity being a schizophrenic band. Since so many of these songs are different from each other. The music on this is much slower, more atmospheric and rocklike than in the past but still sounds like old school death metal. Edge of Sanity will always be THIS album for me.
