Gehennah - King of the Sidewalk (1996)


This is the second album from Gehennah, and with titles such as Saturdaynight Blasphemer, Hellstorm and Bitch With A Bulletbelt you should know what to expect. It's bear-fuelled real traditional metal in the veins of Venom but slightly more thrashy in my opinion. No surprises really if you have heard their first album, this one has a little cleaner guitar-sound, but that's about it. Also, they took in an Elvis-cover ((You're the) Devil In Disguise) which actually fits incredibly into the album. At first, I though it was an original song and didn't notice anything special with it, they completely made it there own.

The vocals on this album sounds much like black metal-vocals so this is probably the reason why people label this stuff as thrash/black though I think it's just thrashy rock n' roll. It has a raw production which fits the album just good but sounds a bit flat compared to their first album.
Nothing more to say about this album really, but it sure is recommended!
Despite all the praise, I can't really find anything particulary bad on this album, it's an heavy metal-album, no more, no less. One of those kind of albums you put on when you drink.
60/100
