UNORTHODOX

Edge of Sanity's second album saw them taking precisely the opposite to trajectory to fellow Swedish death metallers Entombed - whilst Entombed were gradually moving away from a complex blend of genres to a more purely death metal sound, Edge of Sanity were beginning their work of fusing progressive rock and death metal. An ambitious plan? Maybe, but regardless of whether they fully succeed this time Unorthodox is one of the most terrifying and aggressive Swedish death metal albums from the era, with brief respites of prog-inspired tranquility slipped in here and there to soften the listener up for the next assault.
