Beyond Dawn Longing For Scarlet Days
Incredibly emotional and unique, there really is nothing quite like the set of songs on this EP. The trombone is mournful
and truly impactful, there is a large range of vocal styles, and the avant-garde death/doom is bathed in a reverb
drenched production that could only come from the early 90’s. Classic!
Edge of Sanity The Spectral Sorrows
Mork Gryning Tusen ar har gatt
One of those records that never loses its impact over time. Unfortunately, the band has never matched the masterful mix of melody, darkness, neoclassical sections, and atmosphere that resulted in this pitch-perfect debut. Absolutely essential melodic black metal!
My Dying Bride Turn Loose the Swans
Sear Bliss The Haunting
An outlier in their discography due to the almost rock style riffs and jazzy drum sections that appear on occasion. Ultimately a masterful use of horns, mystical keyboards and atmospheres, the occasional foray into furious blasts beats, and the general uniqueness of this record make for a rewarding and memorable listen. Haunting indeed!

Autumn Tears Love Poems for Dying Children - Act I
Edge of Sanity Crimson II
Highly overrated. Many of the riffs here, other than the ones recycled from the first Crimson LP, simply do not sound like Edge of Sanity. This drastically impacts the tone and feel of the LP - to my ears this is clearly a Dan Swano work, and much less of an Edge of Sanity album (aside from the aforementioned riffs that appeared on the first. Crimson LP). It is not a bad record and is definitely worth a listen, but the classic EOS melodies and slightly neoclassical riffs are rarely present. The brutal death metal has been toned down as well, and the record feels just as disconnected from classic EOS as Cryptic is. That being said, Dan without the rest of the band yields better results than Cryptic did. Everything from Unorthodox - Crimson is far more essential listening.

2.5 average
Mork Gryning Pieces of Primal Expressionism

My Dying Bride The Ghost of Orion

Uninspired, entirely predictable and mechanical. They are capable of much better, this is nowhere near the quality of
their best material.

2.0 poor
