Band News September 20, 2003>> Nothing has happened yet with EOS and I doubt if it will. Crimson II has been released and its a pretty good album. This should be the last Edge of Sanity release besides the Best of CD which may be released in the future. You never know if EOS may make a return!! If any news about EOS should arise, check here! August 28, 2003>> I suppose Crimson II is released. Havent seen it yet, but it should be out. July 31, 2003>> Due to lack of time, Mattias IA Eklundh had to leave a raincheck on the solos for Crimson II. I was lucky to find a suitable replacement in Simon Johansson and Mike Wead. These guys are working as we speak and hopefully it will work out as planned, deadline is soon!!!! July 8, 2003>> The vocals have been recorded now and there's been some changes. Rogga is still here, Granvik too (doing some backing vocals only) Peter Tägtgren won't be there though, because Rogga surprised both himself and me by pulling off some really amazing "Åkerfeldt meets Dissection Jon" style high pitch vocals, and that was the kind of style I wanted him to do...the main change of course is the fact that I'M GROWLING!!! Oh yes. and you all go.....BUT YOU SAID......Yes, I know what I said and I really tried to growl a few weeks before recording the backing tracks, and It sounded awful, awful, awful....so how did this happen??? I really don't know...but I guess it's psychological. When we were recording the vocals, I was bossing Rog and Gran around going "No, out of timing, sound more like me, etc etc." and after a while (and some beers in the system...) I just went up to the microphone and growled my heart out and it sounded good, REALLY GOOD!!! Everything just came back, and it was all there..the power, the rasp (The lungs were not though...) but anyway..so I ended up doing pretty much 50% of the vocals (Including the clean stuff) and there are some dual vocal parts between me and Rog, me and Gran as well.... Well, what can I say...my throat aches likes fuck and I have strained every muscle in my body, but It's worth it...it soundz great..and just when I grow tired of my own voice, Rog comes in and kick it!!! Variety rules....Still no news on the Lead guitars though..but I hope it'll be alright as well June 12, 2003>> Black Mark will re-release the entire back catalogue of Edge of Sanity onto Vinyl! June 8, 2003>> Just back from a meeting in Finspång. Me, Boss, Dread, Benny and Lindberg talked and talked for 2 1/2 hours about Me doing Edge without them and about Crimson II and stuff. It's now officially OK with the other members of EOS that I do Crimson II, and that feels so goddamned great!! Right now I am in the stage where I will start to align the lyrics. I have 2 complete lyrics to choose from (luxury!!) may the best man win!!! May 17, 2003>> Recording has commenced on the new album titled CRIMSON II.
