This definitive edition arrives on LP (12 tracks) and a limited 2CD set, featuring the full session of 15 tracks plus an additional 12 bonus tracks, all presented in an O-card. The album's return is particularly significant as Unorthodox has been stunningly remastered (CD1) and remixed (CD2) by the band's visionary songwriter, frontman, and producer, Dan Swanö. Swanö, known for his work with legendary acts like Opeth, Dissection, and Incantation, brings a fresh yet faithful perspective to this influential release. His meticulous attention ensures that the album's raw power and intricate details are highlighted, making this a must-have for both long-time aficionados and new listeners discovering the band's pioneering sound.

Unorthodox was a pivotal album, instrumental in guiding death metal out of its nascent stages and helping to define the genre's evolving sound in the early 90s. With this reanimation, tracks like "Enigma," "In the Veins/Darker than Black," "Everlasting," and the powerful closer, "When All is Said," resonate with renewed intensity. First issued in 1992, Unorthodox captures Edge of Sanity's classic lineup during their most brutal yet daring phase, showcasing their innovative blend of aggression and melody. This release allows fans to experience the Swedes as the true pioneers they were, solidifying their legacy in extreme music.
