GEHENNA

Release Year: 2021
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: violent ferocious black death metal

the most recognizable stylistic turn of historical Norwegian entity has happened with their fourth full-length [1998] - at that time a new trend was noticeable, when conventional black metal started to be more and more predictable, so artists like Gehenna have stripped down the mysterious, epic character of music in favour of more ferocious, poignant approach with much more intense, dark composing model and slight industrial touch; relentless heaviness brings the music closer to apocalyptic death metal essence, yet dreadful and violent atmosphere keeps the blackest of roots intact as well; recent British black 180g vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed lyric inner sleeve and drastic cover artwork courtesy by photographer Petter Hegre now famous in porn industry
