Gehennah an Old School Black Metal act from Sweden

Gehennah is an OSBM act from Sweden. A few days back we had a talk with them and below there is a short talk we had with them.We are pretty sure that many black metal heads are aware of this giants, if not here is the link 

Before we begin we would like to know a brief history of Gehennah?
Gehennah started in 92. We released three albums in the mid to late 90s. Been fucking around ever since haha . Recently changed our bass player as Ronnie Ripper wanted to focus on Turbocharged, With Charlie Knuckelsuter on the 4-sting atomic axe we are back in full force - new 4 track single coming in the near future. Watch out! Knuckleduster

Can you guys say us the meaning of Gehennah?
Hell

Can we know about the lineup?
The meaning of Gehennah is also to spread drunken and dirty Streetmetal all over the world!!!
Mr. Violence: horrible and putrid winobreath.
Rob Stringburner: Six string ninjasword.
Charlie Knuckleduster: Four string executioneraxe.
Hellcop: STILL the strongest drummer in the universe.
This gang of four will beat you more!!!


Almost 22 years of journey how has these years gone?
Ohh, it's been a misty ride! The alcoholic fumes have totally affected every single move that Gehennah made! We're all scarred and bruised but we're still delivering pure, genuine and drunken street metal! We'll never grow up, we'll never learn! Our hearts will for metal forever burn!!!

In this part of the world Gehennah is known by a very few people. Can we say that Gehennah as a the fusion of thrash and old school black metal band as we have found maximum tracks with Venoms influence?
That may be true... We all came from the Black/Death world and had Venom as our biggest heroes and drinking as our main influence.

10 Years Of Fucked up behavior was your last album in 2003 after that we haven't got any albums of Gehennah by when will the new album be aired. As in our previous talked you have mentioned it is in production process. By when will be it aired of 2014?
We're releasing a 7" single early 2014 but we're also in the process of writing songs for our next album. But we have no idea when it's going to be recorded or released yet. The only thing we know for sure is that it's going to be the loudest and most bad-ass album ever released, by anyone! So look forward to that one!


Well looking forward for the single. We would like to know about any recent updates regarding tours of Gehennah?
No plans for tours at the moment.

So i want to ask you guys apart from Gehennah which band will be an aspiring band from Sweden?
Rawhide.

So any message to the fans from this corner of the world?
Gehennah is back in full riot-gear with a new four-track EP, out early 2014!!! Keep your eyes open for some drunken, dirty and mean Street metal coming your way!!!! Metal to the bone!!!

For sure and any advice to the Nepali metal bands especially black metal bands who take you guys as an idol?
Well, never compromise, drink hard, be real and use excessive amounts if violence against posers and false metal!!! Only death and drunken Street metal is real!!!


You guys are from the part of the scene which is known as the place of origin of death metal. How has it been keeping up a black metal band in land known for death and viking?
As we said before. We was all in the death/black metal scene in the early nineties and we're proud that we've been part of it ever since. We assume you're meaning "old school" Black metal like the first wave in the vein of Venom, Bathory and Hellhammer when you're saying Black metal. It's a big difference! Gehennah has almost nothing to do with the modern Black metal that was growing big in the early nineties. Gehennah has always stood for just having fun, party hard, play the meanest metal there is and never back off a fight with anyone. We're simply a tribute to all the drunken, dirty and loud outcasts of the metal scene! And in this Viking issue there's only one band ever that can get away with that image in my opinion (Hellcop), and that band is Heavy Load!!!

We are almost at the end can you tell us 10 albums one should have as a must?
Motörhead - s/t
Motörhead- Overkill
Motörhead - Bomber
Motörhead - Ace of Spades
Motörhead - No Sleep 'till Hammersmith
Motörhead - Iron Fist
Motörhead - Another Perfect Day
Motörhead - No Remorse
Motörhead - Orgasmatron
Fisc - Tracker


Your dream metal gig lineup?

Any thing you want to say or express that we SNRMB team forgot to ask?

Worship Satan, and just prepare yourselves for a new raw, mean and dirty Gehennah release soon!!! Beat the posers!!!
