Gehenna - Murder
Hell! This sounds a whole lot like old Dismember! This is definitely not the Gehenna that I remember from about 5 years ago! Back then, they still had Sarcana on keyboards and the band played Emperor-ish atmospheric Black Metal. After Malice (Our Third Spell), Sarcana left the band and things have gotten uglier and uglier since then - and I don’t mean because they lost a certified babe. After she left, their music became more brutal, more violent and just downright more fucking evil. Their previous album, Admirion Black, showed the band heading more in the Death Metal direction, taking influence from old Slayer and Exodus (Bonded by Blood-era) and that album was about as majestic and beautiful as a mugging. If Admirion Black was a mugging, then Murder is aptly named. This album is a continuation of that evolution. Murder is almost pure Death Fucking Metal like the Swedes played it back in the early ’90s. The guitars are down-tuned, distorted like fuck and the whole album is about as pretty as getting your skull smashed in with a sledgehammer while being ass-raped by a chainsaw. I wonder, if they keep going like they have been, will the next album be classified as a dismemberment?
