영세적인 퀄리티를 지녔던 1991년의 데뷔작 Nothing But Death Remains 이후 꾸준한 업그레이드를 보여주던 Edge Of Sanity가 드디어 일을 내고야 만 정규 4집음반 Purgatory Afterglow 이다. Death Metal에서 보여줄 수 있는 멜로디의 묘미와 짜임새있는 구성의 맛을 확인시켜주었다. 데뷔시절부터 지속적으로 Black Mark의 지원사격을 받아온 Edge Of Sanity의 실력이 일취월장하였음을 느낄 수 있는데, 탄탄한 연주력을 바탕으로 한 박력있는 리프전개와 프로그레시브적인 구성으로 대그룹으로 올라섰다. 귀에 착 감귀는 멜로디를 지닌 Twilight 같은 곡에서 Melodic Death Metal의 번성을 예고하였다면 조금 과장된 표현일까.

Another step towards true Progressive Metal, this album is loaded with a variety of sounds and styles all rooted in Melodic Death and pure Death Metal. As expected of the band, they succeed very well.

역시 비범한 작품. 댄 스와노라는 인물은 천재임이 분명합니다. 선 굵직굵직한 멜로디들로 유려하게, 그리고 거침없이 곡들을 이끌어갑니다. 음악 자체의 뼈대가 워낙 튼튼해서, 클린보컬의 사용도 방해없이 알맞습니다. 뭐하나 어우러짐을 해치는것없는 완벽한 밸런스. 맛깔나는 멜로디들 속에서 그 깊은 공간감을 즐기기만 하면되는 절정의 무쇠갑주 데스메탈.
