The Spectral Sorrows is the third studio album by the Swedish death metal band Edge of Sanity, recorded by Börje Forsberg in July–August 1993 and released by Black Mark Production in 1993. Bassist Anders Lindberg does not appear on the album as he was completing his mandatory military service at the time.
The Spectral Sorrows continues Edge of Sanity's progression to a more progressive and melodic death metal sound. The album features a greater focus on clean vocals than the band's previous works, specifically on their cover of "Blood of My Enemies" by Manowar and "Sacrificed", the latter having more of a cleanly-sung gothic style reminiscent of The Sisters of Mercy.
The record was both remixed and remastered by Dan Swanö in 2024. Both new editions of the album were released by Century Media in December 6, 2024.[1][2] The remixed album featured a re-recording of the closing track "A Serenade for the Dead", arranged and recorded by Swanö himself.
The cover art was illustrated by artist Dan Seagrave.
