Gehenna - Unravel, 2013 CD Album Indie Recordings - INDIE123CD In my top list of 90s black metallists, Gehenna occupy a large seat, the third album Malice being one of the best blackness I ever heard and my favorite of the lot. While I could never find any interest in Dimmu Borgir who obviously tried to mimic Malice with less artistic success and more commercial success, Gehenna filled that craving for an intermediate between harsh and polished black metal. It is cold and evil, but not recorded-in-the-forest-quality. It is black and menacing, but not a war metal obfuscation of the senses. Every entry here has its own vibe - a bit of death metal in the late 90s releases, some doom decay on the latest release - and a bit of good old Bathory everywhere of course. The black gem of the zerotheque, a high density black star of the zeriverse! Remove brackets and unzip: [hail satan] !ZER Gehenna ZER! |
Speaking of Satan, if you have 90 minutes to waste you might enjoy this useless documentary. It tells the sad story of a bunch of SJW bitches wearing Slayer shirts who call themselves The Satanic Temple and who pose as satanists.
They waste so much time and energy in pointless stunts and ridiculous lawsuits that it made my gums bleed with frustration. Their so called seven tenets and entire "philosophy" could have been summarized as The Non-Aggression Principle, but no, that was apparently too complex for their snail-sized brains. Instead, they sell Satan mugs and setup "satanic" after-school classes in order to piss off Fred Phelps disciples and other Christian conservative bastards. WTF. Fight the state for its own sake, not the church or any pointless shit related to "freedom of religion", who fucking cares about the church??? The state is the true church! Real satanists are anti-state libertarians and anarcho-capitalists!.
Can't say I'm a big fan of black metal but I do enjoy some Emperor, Ildjarn and Burzum. That said, this style has always sounded fake and cheesy to me. Some bands can pull off the keyboards, here it just sounds goofy. Try something more ominous. Aphex Twin has tracks that sound more evil than this. Regardless thanks for posting, I fucking love this blog!
