Edge of Sanity is an essential band from the swedish death metal movement. They started their career in the late eighties and made some of the most original albums, adding their particular sound to the tracks. Here we have a 2 CD compilation with all rarities: here you have demos, remixes, remastered versions and covers. All in one package. And the tracks go from their first recordings ("Pernicious Anguish" from their 1989 "Euthanasi" ) to their latest. The sound is obviously better in the newest track, but here you can listen all the talent that this guys (and specailly Dan Swanö) have. A must for any person that is into metal. This is a piece of heavy music history.

Favorite tracks: The whole 2 CD set is essential for any lover of metal music.
