CRIMSON

Finally i had the chance to review this album. Dan Swano the master behind the music is an important musician in death metal field, the result is the first 3 albums of Edge of Sanity. From Crimson Swano incorporeted some prog elements, not many but quite enough to make this album not to be clasified as death metal enterly. The album is composed from only one track. Crimson is mostly built up of melodic death metal with catchy reffs and inteligent lyrics. The voice of Swano is better than on previous albums so the music, is mutch complex and and better played. We have a guest musician from Opeth (who were at the beggining of their stunning carere),Mikael Akerfeldt, who give a new dimension to Crimson's music. So the music from here is original, diverse and pleases many prog fans not only death metal fanatics. 4 stars for Crimson, recommended, one of the best albums of the '90's.
