Remain Sedate is the debut album by Rorschach. The first ever release to be labelled metalcore, it shows the band's sound at a stage when they played fast, heavy hardcore with a metal slant and raspy hardcore vocals. At this time they also drew heavy comparisons to Die Kreuzen for their bizarre chord progressions and Charles Maggio's unearthly howl.[2]

The tracks on the album were featured on the 1995 compilation album, Autopsy.[1] The first song of the album, "Pavlov's Dogs" is depicted in the 2012 film Zero Dark Thirty as being used to torture suspected terrorists.[3] Kansas City metallic hardcore band Remain Sedate is named after the album.[4]
