7th album from 1997 by the Swedish EDGE OF SANITY, a dark and absorbing work of Progressive Death Metal and Melodic Death Metal where the band explores a more atmospheric, technical and experimental sound without losing its trademark heaviness. “Cryptic” combines melancholic riffs, complex song structures and an unsettling sense of introspective darkness, showcasing Dan Swanö and company during one of their most creative and ambitious periods. A dense and sophisticated release that moves between the aggression of Swedish Death Metal and progressive passages filled with emotion and depth. Recommended for fans of OPETH, AMORPHIS, DISSECTION and DARK TRANQUILLITY.
