Gehenna

There are and have been several bands named Gehenna. 1) The first is a black metal band that was formed in Stavanger, Norway in January 1993 as a nameless project by Sanrabb, Dolgar and Sir Vereda. They didn’t give the band a name until they had enough material which would represent their voice. In May of the same year, the trio entered the studio to record a demo. Sanrabb and Dolgar shared the duty of guitars, vocals, bass and synth, while Sir Vereda took his seat behind the drum set.

Da Tweekaz

If we go way back, it all began with a simple mixer and a set of cd-decks (pretty obvious huh?). Marcus Nordli and Kenth Kvien got their interest in electronical music way back as youngsters, looking up at the major djs. As time flew by, the both started djing and met up at a local party here in Oslo, Norway (2004). They were both djing at this party, and became friends. Marcus had been producing some cheesy dancemusic for a couple years, and Kenth got the same interest not long after they met. They started producing together, Kenth learning what Marcus knew and vice versa.
