about

Gehenna joined forces with Cacophonous for their first full-length, "Seen Through the Veils of Darkness (The Second Spell)", in 1995. Recorded in Sandnes, Norway, the album features guest vocals by Garm of Ulver on the track Vinterriket. With lyrics rooted in mysticism and occultism, the band's sound differed from many of their contemporaries, it was more melodic, with a dominant use of keyboards in their song writing. An almost perfect melding of hostility and atmosphere, the album was met with much interest and acclaim upon its release, and put the band at the forefront of the Norwegian scene.

The record has been given new life with 2016's re-issue containing re-mastered audio from Danny B (Lock Up, Pentagram, Criminal) of HVR Studios.

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri
