Sanity's Edge / Press

“After having listened to their previous album, it’s become easy to identify an “inSane” song from them. Which has happened with “Untied”. Whatever the influences, it’s done in Sanity style, and having local bands with their own style is something not every city gets the luxury of.”

““Untied” is a very good song from the band. At first it starts a little slow as the intro rattles out, and when the song really gets going, the vocalist shouting “Go!” at you there’s a real groove behind it (first I presume), with the guitars providing some heavy riffage. It has this solid drum beat, with some nice double kick work as well – all around ‘tightness’, as I would say. For the chorus the band throttle back though they resume the norm very quickly. For the outro (just before the 4-minute mark) the band switch this very doom-esque beat and riff, extra emphasis placed on the meaty guitar riffs, whilst the refrain of the lyric “I pour out my soul” repeats itself over and over. I actually listened to this about 4 or 5 times as it’s just that damn good. If there is any more material coming out, you can be sure I’m going to snap it up like thanksgiving turkey.”

“Sanity’s Edge has a killer E.P. that’s listenable all the way through (you know how some CDs and E.P.s have fillers? Well, personally, I found none. And if one or two were included, they weren’t found by me, and that’s a good thing). Sanity’s Edge definitely knows that a story must be told by each song, and each song seems to tell a different story. But it’s not just the content of the lyrics that shows maturity, but the musicianship on the instruments, from the drums not overpowering anything, to the bass keeping a tight groove, to the solos that don’t focus on showing off, but rather on adding to the song. And when a song enters its breakdown, it enters hard. Very hard. I love the breakdowns on S.E.E.P. 1. They are some of the best things I’ve ever heard.”

“Sanity’s Edge have got something to say, and they are saying it with a growl. Their new record displays the band’s ability to play a chiseled spectrum of metal- from the uber-hardc ore to the rockin’ melodies, these guys have got it covered. . The track “Thread” showcases solid lead guitar work and serves, all things considered, to showcase the mellower side of the band and proving that they have a well-rounded sound and that front man Dominick Trichie is a man of many talents on the mic.”

“Whilst certain things grab me as they always do I paid close attention to the drumming on the EP overall, as I do with all the music I listen to. Dino’s drumming is quite amazing and is definitely one of the better aspects of the EP, but not outdone, the dual-attack of the guitars and bass give the EP some tasty food for thought. Sanity’s Edge, and the double kick work/harmonized guitar patterns help to show that, again, there is some real talent in this band. So having listened to this EP a few times through, I can safely say that this EP is full of great material and enough of everything for anyone to get their teeth into.”

“once again reclaimed their status as one of Denver’s premier metal bands and there is and open highway of possibilities for the future.”
