For the first time ever, a salacious selection of Edge of Sanity's obscure, earliest recordings are available officially. Titled Elegy - Chapter I, the band's early (promo, rehearsal or studio) demos Euthanasia (1989), The Immortal Rehearsals (1990), kur-nu-gi-a (1990), The Dead (1990) and Dead But Dreaming (1991) were hearsed from the cemetary to the mortuary for reanimation by songwriter/frontman/producer Dan Swanö (Opeth, Dissection, Bloodbath). Featuring a brand-new, hand-drawn cover by visual artist Mark Rudolph (Carcass, Undeath), Elegy - Chapter I is by the old guard for all guards to relive or unearth afresh. Edge of Sanity weren't always on the bleeding edge of death metal. No, on Elegy - Chapter I the Swedes actually bled death metal. This is a collection of underground old school Swedish death metal at it's best! All five demos have been remastered by Swanö, with the 13 tracks of Euthanasia, kur-nu-gi-a and The Dead.
