Biography

There are and have been several bands named Gehenna, the most notorious of which are the following:

1) A black metal band from Norway.

2) A blackened hardcore band from Reno, Nevada, USA (also known as THE INFAMOUS… GEHENNA)

1) A band that was formed in Stavanger, Norway in January 1993 as a nameless project by Sanrabb, Dolgar and Sir Vereda. They didn’t give the band a name until they had enough material which would represent their voice. In May of the same year, the trio entered the studio to record a demo. Sanrabb and Dolgar shared the duty of guitars, vocals, bass and synth, while Sir Vereda took his seat behind the drum set.

The demo was recorded between the 3rd and 7th of June 1993 in Soundsuite Studios. It was released under the name “Black Seared Heart” as a tape limited to 100 copies.

Gehenna participated in the Darkthrone tribute “Darkthrone Holy Darkthrone”, released by Moonfog Productions in 1998, covering the song “Transilvanian Hunger”. Later, in 2001, the band also participated in the Mayhem tribute “Originators of the Northern Darkness: A Tribute to Mayhem”, released by Avantgarde Music, covering the song “Cursed in Eternity”.

After several years of inactivity, the band returned with “WW” in 2005, heralding a much welcomed return to their black metal roots.

    Reverted it back to the previous version, the only change that was made (as far as I could notice), was that you put the 'infamous' Gehenna as number 1 and the Norwegian Gehenna as number 2. That way the numbers didn't match the discriptions anymore. Also, if you look at the scrobbles, the Norwegian Gehenna is clearly the most popular one and since bios are supposed to be neutral and stick to the facts and not personal tastes or opinions, it makes most sense that the Norwegian Gehenna is mentioned first, being the most popular one.

    Hardcore Gehenna just posted all their albums on bandcamp for pay-what-you-want. Finally stopped alienating their (potential) fanbase, I guess. It's killer that you can find rips that aren't amateur vinyl ones now, at least.

    No matter what side you're on in the "this band is better" debate, popularity of the charts go a long way. Saying the hardcore version is better is asking for trouble from the larger fanbase. Likewise saying black metal version is the only one that matters without listening to the hardcore one just shows your ignorance. Listen to the damn music and use the shoutbox for productive comments instead of this mindless bickering on such a trival matter of opinions. Accept the fact that the BM version will constitute a larger portion of the shouts and there will be some talk of the hardcore version. Don't let this band page turn into the Virus' one.

    What's with all this "blackened hardcore" rubbish, they are and will always be metallic hardcore.

    Just saw the hardcore Gehenna in NYC last night. Those dudes got sloppy! Still a good showing, though. They pull off the "blackened hardcore" thing well!

    I disagree, Eric. while I like Integrity, SOSF hardcore can go fuck itself. hail black metal, fuck straight-edge.

    I haven't heard the hardcore Gehenna, but if they sound anything like Integrity they should kick ass. As for the black metal Gehenna, what I've heard from them just sounds like typical mediocre post-2nd wave Norwegian shit
