Crimson II is the eighth and final full-length studio album by Swedish death metal band Edge of Sanity. The album continues the story first heard on the album Crimson (1996).
The album, released to positive reviews, was dedicated to the memory of Chuck Schuldiner. It is the only Edge of Sanity release that does not feature Andreas Axelsson or the rest of the original lineup. Instead, it features contributions from guest musicians Mike Wead, Jonas Granvik, and brothers Roger and Simon Johannson.
The album was remixed and slightly edited for the compilation When All Is Said (2006).
