Description
For the first time ever, a salacious selection of EDGE OF SANITY's obscure, earliest recordings are available officially on 2LP (23 tracks) and Ltd. 2CD (23 + 13 bonus tracks) with O-card. 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). All five demos have been remastered by Swanö, with the 13 tracks of “Euthanasia”, “kur-nu-gi-a” and “The Dead” also receiving necromantic remixes for the bonus disc. 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!
