Final blaze of glory for Edge of Sanity
Tom Z | USA | 07/10/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"When I got Dan Swano's Moontower about a month ago, I thought that it had to be the pinnacle of his career. While I knew Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath, Diabolical Masquerade and some of his other bands were really talented, I doubted that and of them would ever match the greatness achieved on Moontower. So you can imagine my surprise when I found Crimson 2 not only matched but perhaps surpassed Moontower. In many ways the two are alike, Dan Swano does almost everthing, the use of the way screwed up keyboards is the same, and weird death metal prog vibe is the same. Differences are C2 is an 40+ minute song, and it's a bit heavier and a bit less progressive than Moontower. Definitly a must buy for any melodic death fan. I also recommend checking Swano's other bands that I will list below.Dan Swano, Diabolical Masquerade, Bloodbath, Infestdead, Karaboudjan, Star One, Nightingale"
Just plain great

"Swano really knows his stuff, and this is another showcase of his incredible talent and song writing ability. If you loved the original Crimson you'll definitely dig the re-worked riffs and supercharged sounds. There's also a hell of a lot more variety in the sequal, and it makes for even more brilliant listening experience. It's much more then a sequal though, and there's so much originality and experimentation in this album that any self-respecting EOS fan surely can't pass it up."
Is this from our world?

"This has to be by a Long shot my fav album ever. the perfect blend of music the progression is Amazing i was blowen away by the creativity of this album a Most Most have death metal cd for all Metal fans really



review time ill try to give it in a nut shell

The forbidden words 10/10 Perfect start to this Amazing album really incease the depth of the rest to come the seer speed is awesome vocals are raspy and totally add to the over all perfromance

Incantation 10/10 a switch over to a less speed segment but an unbelieveable Full sound and wonderful keyboards guitar riffs are not technical but unreal, the one i speak of is mosty the one on track 5 of 44 a superior solo, tho it not much its very heavy

and a wild ride is ahead for the rest of incantation

Passage of time 10/10 another total gear switch to a fast tempo. in this segment there are a few stops where they tone it down and dont growl very nice fit makes it way above average total justice for those who think death metal is only screaming and it takes no singing talent

as much as id like to go throught each one it would get a bit long. at track 31 is where the magic happens its incantation on a gods level remember the little solo i talked about on track 5? here it is again with an inhuman enhancement. after the incantation repeat an amazing display of the singer range is set in nice reviver. not much more till the ending ill let you explore that for yourself



this review is not based on lyrics in anyway all sound the lyrics are probably Unreal so you might get double the pleasure"
