Norway's Indie Recordings has issued the following update:

"It is with great pride we announce the signing of black metal legends GEHENNA!

Gehenna saw the light of day back in 1993 and are one of the original founders of true Norwegian black metal. With 6 albums and 2 E`s on their soul scarred conscience, they have made an profound impact on today’s black metal scene. Gehenna has explored the boundaries of the genre but always stayed true, no doubt one of the main reasons for their cult-like status.

The band has had an almost endless stream of members running through its veins. For the upcoming release they have found their strongest lineup ever, once again featuring Dirge Rep after his leave of absence to ENSLAVED and GORGOROTH. Founding fathers Sanrabb and Dolgar and the rest of the band will enter Reel Noise Studios (THE DEVIANT, PURIFIED IN BLOOD) in July '08 and record what is being described as a natural continuance of their latest album WW (Moonfog).

The band is reported to be in very high spirits, and is looking forward to once again get out there, tour, and meet their ever growing fan base."

In a press statement the band comments on the signing: "Indie Recordings was without a doubt the best choice for us. Their professionalism and distribution is very impressive and communication is never at halt.

For the future, RISE! HAIL SATAN!

Gehenna."

The label contintues, "Stay updated on www.myspace.com/gehennaofficial , www.indierec.no and www.myspace.com/indierecordings .

We will shortly publish yet unseen and unheard material to ease the wait for the September/October release of the new album."
