Explicitly Intense Mag CD Review

"We have come to wreck everything and ruin your life.
God sent us." So starts this prime slab of ruthless
Melodic Thrashing Death by Arizona's most dominant
underground presence. This band has the talent meter
in the red and the road ahead is wide open-it's
nowhere but up (with a scenic detour through hell) for
SANITY IN DEATH. We're talking potential reminiscent
of the musical awareness, depth and ability of EDGE OF
SANITY with a singer that's a morbid, mutant version
of Phil Anselmo (with the apt moniker Demon) manning
the mic. Add to that solid acoustic sensibility and
some great audio samples and you've got a recipe more
crippling than a batch of Humboldt brownies. This band
is truly something, and if they don't get the
recognition they deserve then there is no God.
Alright, there probably is no God, but still-track
these guys down and check them out; you need it and
they deserve it.

Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles #9

“Tucson, Arizona is home to these extreme death metallers, Sanity In Death grabbing the listener with a sound that is as atmospheric and proggy as it is relentlessly crushing. Vocally, this six-man wrecking crew oscillate from Anselmo-like introspection to far-flung black and death – the effect is exhilarating and as jarring as the unexpected musical pathways roiling beneath.”

CRITICAS DE DISCOS

“In general this album debut is simply genius. Perfect for the addicts of melodic death metal; that fast death metal with melodies that latch on and a characteristic darkness as those bands from the early 90’s. That is what I’ve enjoyed the most about this band. They maintain a mortifying feeling. This band that comes from Tucson, AZ who have very good dark passages that are well accomplished and structured. When it’s said melodic death metal one would think the same as… but with this album you’ll be surprised because it is totally original!!!” www.chilemetal.cl

ZIA ZINE ISSUE FEBRUARY 2006

"Wish you could get those slow pokes who sit at the traffic light long after it turns green to just move?! Start blasting Sanity In Death they'll burn rubber to get away from you. The Tucson death-metal band sounds more brutal than a cavity search done with a crowbar. Singer Demon's guttural growls and throat-burning screams are driven by blisteringly fast guitars, pummeling bass. At the beginning of the CD, the band announces: We have come to wreck everything and ruin your life. And then S.I.D. leaves the listener crushed under a barrage of malevolent music."

”From Arizona USA comes Sanity In Death with their first full self titled album and are signed on Hammermill records. The death metal these guys play sounds fucking good in my ears. And I must say for a debut album with a high quality recording sound this album is an awesome start for Sanity In Death. Starting as an underground band they already have some name in the death metal scene. And I think they will get very far with their great wall of brutality. Vocals on this album sounds sometimes a bit like metal core but that ain't bothering me at all cause the brutal crunch will change that quite quick. The ballad sounding parts in it with an easy going guitar solo which you can hear in the second track “Will" is a good alternately between the brutal crawling death metal. The vocals used on "Filter The Gray" track reminds me of the clean vocals from Burton C Bell (Fear Factory), love it guys!!! From old school riff to new metal sounding parts is what I hear on this fucking nice CD. Well Hammermill records congrats with this sign. I love the dragging start of "Number One" just the way good death metal should sound like. Well guys this is a must for the good old death metal freaks and the metal core fans. Check out the Sanity In Death section to get to know them a bit more and order your self a copy of this great album on Hammermill records, you can jump to their website by going to the Hammermill section. And as they say on the label site “YOU HAVE BE WARNED" are the perfect words for this Sanity In Death album.” www.burningmisery.com

Sanity In Death has come out of the desert to lay waste to the metal scene that you think you know. If you are a fan of death metal then SID is the band that will churn our metal guts to shreds. Their debut CD is just the potion that will make even the most picky metal fan take notice once again. www.metal-exiles.com

DEADTIDE.COM

“Tucson, Arizona's Sanity in Death shows some serious potential with the band's self-titled debut. The band's thrash-inspired death metal works well throughout much of the record's eight tracks, effectively showcasing a knack for melody-inspired death metal. If Cannibal Corpse and Pantera opted to become "life partners" and adopt a young band as the union's demon-spawned bastard child, Sanity In Death would certainly be a worthy candidate.” www.deadtide.com

LIVE4METAL.COM

"Sanity In Death combine the riffing style and speed from “Hell Awaits” with a meatier production, but still firmly rooted in an 80’s sound, with some impressive deep seated death metal growls and even some over the top black metal screams from the vocalist, name of Demon. The nostalgia continues with some acoustic portions, some lighter melodies, and even some clean vocals reminiscent of some of the Gothenburg melodic death metal that came out in the early to mid 90s.” www.live4metal.com

“…an amazing mix of death metal and hardcore, while not getting to the redundant parts of metalcore.” www.maelstrom.
