FIFTH REASON WAS FORMED IN THE MIDDLE OF 1992 BY SIMON JOHANSSON AND NICKLAS ORELAND.ONE YEAR AFTER THEY RECORDED A PROMOTION DEMO CALLED "STRANDED".
THIS TAPE WAS MOSTLY USED FOR LABELS AND SOME MAGAZINES,BUT AS SIMON BECAME A MEMBER OF THE "LEIF EDLING" PROJECT CALLED "ABSTRAKT ALGEBRA" FIFTH REASON WAS PUT ON ICE FOR ABOUT A YEAR.
ABSTRAKT'S DEBUT ALBUM WHICH WAS SELF TITLED WAS RELEASED IN EARLY 1995 AND DURING THAT SAME YEAR THEY PLAYED AT FESTIVALS IN SWEDEN AND EUROPE.
SIMON HAD NEVER LET THE IDEA OF FIFTH REASON DIE,SO WHEN THE SPLIT OF ABSTRAKT BECAME A FACT HE HAD A CHAT WITH KRISTIAN ANDREN(ex TAD MOROSE/MEMENTO MORI)
ABOUT REFORMING FIFTH REASON.HE ALSO HAD TALKED SOME SENSE INTO TWO OTHER BUDDIES AND THE BAND WAS BORN ONCE MORE.
EARLY IN 1997 THE FOURSOME GOT A VERY GOOD RECORDING DEAL WITH THE FRESH SWEDISH METAL LABEL"HEATHENDOOM MUSIC"WHICH MADE THEM WORK EVEN HARDER TO WRITE FUTHER MATERIAL FOR THEIR DEBUT ALBUM.
SIMON ASKED ONE HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS"MIKE WEAD" OF "MERCYFUL FATE" TO PRODUCE THE ALBUM,WHICH HE MOST HAPPY TO DO.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE PROBLEM LEFT TO SOLVE,THE BAND NEEDED A SECOND GUITARIST TO MAKE THE SOUND EVEN STRONGER.SO AFTER A CHAT WITH "MARCO A NICOSIA" THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED.
IN APRIL THEY STEPPED INTO STUDIO 22 TOGETHER WITH MIKE AND RECORDED ONE HELLUVA PROGRESSIVE AND TECHNICAL,YET MELODIC METAL ALBUM ENTITLED "PSYCHOTIC".
EIGHT AWESOME METAL TRACKS WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY SOME OF SWEDENS FINEST AND MOST PROFFESIONAL MUSICIANS.
THE BAND FEATURES EX-MEMBERS OF ABSTRAKT ALGEBRA,TAD MOROSE,MEMENTO MORI
HEXENHAUS AND OF COURSE MEMORY GARDEN
