Sargatanas Reign - _Euthanasia... Last Resort_
(I Hate Records, 2002)
by: Pedro Azevedo (5 out of 10)
In spite of the Darkthrone-y band logo and some lyrics having been
written by Marduk's Morgan Hakansson, Sargatanas Reign are actually a
death metal band with quite a bit of Morbid Angel and Death in their
sound. Mixing old-school and a more technical approach, the band
reaches some rather good moments, such as the first half of
instrumental "Last Resort" and the fast bits on "Hate" and
"Evangelical Clitorial". But while this album is not without its
highlights, most of the time all the listener gets is rather generic
riffs and solos. Apparently the record was self-produced, and the
sound quality is nothing to brag about: though the bass is clearly
audible, the overall result seriously lacks crunch and that
complicates things a bit further. The good bits do show promise, and
had there been more of them on the album and a better sound to deliver
them, then this could have been a rather enjoyable disc -- I wouldn't
be too surprised if that's the case next time around.
