In related news, Century Media Records will also be making Dan Swanö’s ODYSSEY and TOTAL TERROR projects available again. TOTAL TERROR, which featured up to 3 members of EDGE OF SANITY, stood for extremely brutal crust-core/grind with Swedish lyrics throughout its 20-track self-titled album from 1994 and the material now comes remixed as well as with the 7 tracks of the 1993 demo remastered as bonus for its 30th Anniversary of existence. ODYSSEY on the other hand was more in the epic but progressive doom heavy metal style and featured various of Dan Swanö’s befriended musicians in guest roles for both the self-titled 3-track EP initially released in 1999 as well as the Reinventing The Past release from 2010, which saw the project recording pretty diverse cover songs of DEPECHE MODE, SANDRA, RAINBOW, URIAH HEEP, CANDLEMASS, UFO and MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP. While the Odyssey EP now comes remastered, Reinventing The Past has even been remixed by Swanö in 2022, plus adding an upgraded alternative version of MSG’s “Lost Horizons” track in order to make it the definitive versions of these hidden gem of Swedish Metal. Look out for the TOTAL TERROR and ODYSSEY re-issues finally being made available again on November 29th, 2024 across all digital platforms.
Stay tuned for further news about this catalog campaign and look out for even more re-issue material by EDGE OF SANITY and NIGHTINGALE soon…
