We were lucky to get a hold of the original 1/4” master tapes and had them transferred at 96k/24b for a killer vinyl version. The first ever for this album.

Dan Swanö commented about “Cryptic (Re-issue)” as follows: “This album is so much better than I thought! Since I was out of the band before they started working on these songs, there was only one song I had heard in its entirety before and some odd snippets of some tunes from it over the years. Since the guys were fine with me remastering it, I had to hear it so many times over a short period that I knew every note at the end of it and I must say that I like this version of EDGE OF SANITY more than what “the other guys” wrote for “Infernal”, where I just threw my vocal on top of what they had written, most of it first takes, and that was that. This is really potent writing from the guys, and you can hear that they really rolled up their sleeved and created the best version of what they believed to be what EDGE OF SANITY was all about. Changing singers is never easy for a band, but there are those times like this, when it works out…and the band is revitalized and reborn into something different, but still very potent. I find it sad that the guys never got to make more records with this line-up. We were lucky to get a hold of the original 1/4” master tapes and had them transferred at 96k/24b for a killer vinyl version. The first ever for this album. The original CD release was also made a bit too loud for its own good, in its original mastering, and now it can breathe again and the most expensive production ever for the band can be heard in all its glory. And I know it might be a strange thing to say, but it might well be the best sounding EDGE OF SANITY album, recorded and mixed by the legend Ronny Lahti! The bonus CD has some cool unreleased alternate mixes that we found on the tapes and there’s a pretty around the edges sounding, yet awesome live recording of their gig at the Motala Metal Festival in 1999.”
Roberth Karlsson, EDGE OF SANITY vocalist on “Cryptic”, had the following to add: “Almost 30 years ago, after intense rehearsals, we recorded the EDGE OF SANITY “Cryptic” in Stockholm during a couple of weeks in the summer. Serious recordings every day and partying in the evenings. It feels so good to release this sound-updated album once again, and finally on vinyl!”.
