GEHENNA "First Spell" LP (Darkness Shall Rise Productions 2025) Black White Ice Vinyl. Released one year after their demo Black Seared Heart, it was First Spell that put GEHENNA on the map for real. Originally released in 1994 by Metalion's legendary label ‘Head Not Found’, the EP shows a band - even though only founded 1 year prior - already on top of their game. Each of the 5 tracks is a masterpiece in its own right. “The Shivering Voice Of The Ghost” or “Unearthly Loose Palace” - can it get more sombre than that? Macabre and utterly dark, the highly original and memorable tracks are considerably enhanced by keyboardplayer extraordinaire Sarcana. First Spell is one of the very best EPs ever done in Norway and belongs in every self-respecting Black Metal fan's collection. The songs were completely new remastered by Patrick W. Engel at the Temple of Disharmony to ensure the best possible sound for this timeless Black Metal classic. This release will include a huge 16-page 12” booklet including an in-depth interview (divided into 4 parts, this is part 2) with all 5 original bandmembers and many never seen before pictures. An A2 poster will be added to every vinyl too and a download-code.
