Swanö’s demented growl is a huge plus in my book and the attempt at keyboard orchestration was a great idea, but I would’ve liked to hear it fleshed out a little more. Overall the tone is average to good I still don’t know if I am in love with or despise the snare sound, only time will tell. I was also immediately drawn to the mid-riff tempo changes, the slow sections really breath quite well and help place emphasis on the more technical and faster segments.

In fact, that was a huge draw for me upon the first spin. The start/stop riffs are jam-packed into this album and I have absolutely no problem with that at all. Nothing quite groundbreaking here, but I can hear the seeds being sown for future reaping. Here are the results of my death metal discog diving.Įdge of Sanity’s debut album is a solid slab of death metal. After a quick consultation with the mighty Toileteers, it seemed that Edge of Sanity was to be the best choice. I thought it was due time for me to expand my knowledge base. Yes, I like it, but I had never delved past the standards. Truthfully, this genre is one that I don’t know much about. Two months went by and I was feeling the need for Death Metal. A bit of time was needed to recuperate my sanity. My mind, fresh from being melted by death metal and prog-rock, was not quite ready for the frozen landscapes I traversed. It has been a while since my last installment of this series. Diving head first into Darkthrone‘s discography the day after finishing Opeth was a strenuous task.
