The correct answer is c) Sargatanas Reign.
The Swedish band began in 1997 when guitarist Kristoffer Andersson, Marcus Lundberg and drummer Stefan Kronqvist got together and started playing run-of-the-mill black metal as Sargatanas. Before long, they added bassist Johan Ericsson and their music evolved into a more original form of technical death metal. Tragedy struck when Ericsson died from an undisclosed cause.
Undeterred, the band — now called Sargatanas Reign — replaced him with bassist Niklas Samuelsson. Soon, Marduk bassist Magnus “Devo” Andersson joined Sargatanas on vocals and in 2001 the released their debut, the seven-inch EP “Hellucination.” The same year, they followed with the full-length Euthanasia… Last Resort.”
Andersson left Sargatanas Reign to focus again on Marduk and was replaced by Jonas Matsson, who debuted in 2005 on the band’s second album Bloodwork - - Techniques of Torture. The revolving door continued to turn when Samuelsson quit for personal reasons. Instead of hiring a new member, Matsson, who still sings, has picked of bass duties as well. Sargatas Reign are currently working on songs for their third full-length record.
