By the release of their fourth album,1994’s Purgatory Afterglow, Sweden’s prolific Edge of Sanity wascruising — a well-oiled machine with a growing reputation as one ofdeath metal’s most exciting, daring, and innovative acts. Liketheir good friends (and natural inheritors) Opeth, Edge of Sanity’sexcellence resides in their ability to juxtapose the mostblistering, blast-beat-intensive death (bordering on black) metaloffensive with melodic passages of startling beauty. In fact,Purgatory Afterglow’s epic opener, “Twilight,” with its wild moodswings and abrupt dynamic shifts, may well have served as a matrixfor that now-legendary group’s imminent debut, which,coincidentally, was engineered by Edge of Sanity’s mastermind, DanSwano. Swano’s ability to alternate unintelligible death-grunts anddeep, clean-singing vocals with confidence and conviction — set inaccordance to the group’s musical backdrop of speedy thrash runsand grinding power riffs, respectively — helps propel the welcomesurprises heard on standout tracks like “Of Darksome Origin,”“Silent,” and “Velvet Dreams.” But by this stage in theirdevelopment, the band was also capable of pulling offstraightforward, more easily digestible fare as well, andthree-minute nuggets like “Black Tears” and “Elegy” come as closeas death metal ever did to commercial sensibility. All thisdiversity and open-minded experimentation was, of course, the endresult of years of gradual advances (the closing “Song of Sirens”is the album’s only oddity, sounding at times like an Entombedtribute song), and with Purgatory Afterglow, Edge of Sanity seemedto strike upon the perfect, delicate balance of extremes that wouldresult in what many still consider their career zenith, 1996’sambitious, 40-minute song Crimson.
