Gehenna – See Through The Veils Of Darkness (The Second Spell) (1995)

June 6, 2024

Beautifully conjured record of keyboard-led black metal, with a dual vocal attack. I’m no expert so I don’t know who is who but one vocalist is definitely preferable to the other. One of the guys hits these Shagrath a la Enthrone Darkness Triumphant kinda insane screeches which are just blood curdling (more like Shagrath should be compared to these guys as this came earlier). Comparisons can also be made to Emperor without being too lazy to think of something more kvlt or underground to say. The main difference is though, is that I think this is great, but I really don’t like Emperor at all.

All in all, great clear production despite the genre and an excellent continuation to the groundwork laid on First Spell.
