Gehenna – First Spell CD Hardcover Digibook

 Gehenna – 'First Spell' CD

Ramastered reissued CD edition in hardcover digibook with 28 page booklet featuring new interview & rare photos. 

Released in 1994, 'First Spell' is the EP that truly established Gehenna as one of the most compelling forces in early Norwegian Black Metal. Arriving only a year after their 'Black Seared Heart' demo, this release, originally issued through Metalion’s legendary Head Not Found label showcases a young band already performing at an exceptionally high artistic level. Across its five tracks, 'First Spell' delivers some of the most haunting and atmospheric material of the era. Pieces such as “The Shivering Voice of the Ghost” and “Unearthly Loose Palace” embody the EP’s sombre, macabre spirit, weaving darkness, melody and chilling grandeur into a uniquely Norwegian sound. The presence of keyboardist Sarcana elevates the EP even further, adding a spectral, majestic layer that became a defining element of Gehenna’s early work. Widely considered one of the finest EPs ever produced within the Norwegian Black Metal scene, First Spell remains an essential release for collectors and for anyone devoted to the classic, early-90s sound of the genre.
