God-tier Swedish old-school black/thrash. Gehennah (not Gehenna, mind you) are what would happen if Venom dropped the pretense of being serious and focused on fighting and partying 'til they puked. Punk-friendly thrash debauchery that maintains a sense of humor throughout but never forgets to be, first and foremost, fucking vicious. The album ends with a one-two punch of misogyny, and I wish it didn't, but it's just too killer a record to write off.
Also, I just found out that they put out an album last year, and their song title game is stronger than ever -- for example, there's "We Stole Your Song", "Low on Cash, High on Speed", and "All of the Decadence, None of the Success". Cop it or die unfulfilled.
