Background information about 'Crimson II'

After 22 years in the wilderness, Edge Of Sanity's groundbreaking sophomore concept album "Crimson II" finally returns to vinyl, and what a triumphant comeback it is! This isn't just any reissue - it's a lovingly remastered testament to Dan Swanö's visionary genius, handled by the man himself who also produced classics for Opeth, Dissection, and Incantation. The album stands as the eighth and final release under the Edge Of Sanity banner, serving as a solo effort sequel to the legendary 1996 "Crimson" that redefined what progressive death metal could achieve.

Across its sprawling 43-minute runtime, "Crimson II" unfolds as a single, continuous musical journey divided into 11 movements that showcase Swanö's unparalleled songcraft. Tracks like "The Forbidden Words", "Incantation", "Covenant of Souls", and "Aftermath" demonstrate breathless progressive death metal mastery with improved technicality that surpasses even its acclaimed predecessor. This carefully crafted sequel doesn't just match the original's ambition - it elevates the concept to new heights, creating an immersive experience that rewards both longtime devotees and newcomers to the Edge Of Sanity faithful.

For fans of: Opeth, Dissection, Incantation, and Dan Swanö
