Guenna launch final single from debut album
Swedish progressive stoner rock outfit Guenna release “Dimension X”. Available now on all streaming platforms, this track is the final single leading up to the bands’ debut album “Peak of Jin’Arrah”, set for release on The Sign Records on April 19, 2024.
The band comments:
“The days before the earth faced its ultimate annihilation, the inhabitants of the globe were plagued by visions of cosmic destruction and death. But also hope. A way out. A way up. Another means for the citizens of earth to survive, rebuild and prosper. Bending space and time to pass through a dimension thought to exist only in myth, the people came out the other end and knew that the legend was real, the human race would live on, and that it was time to find a new heritage.”
Guenna are four guys who met when they studied music together in 2018/2019. After they all realized they miss cranking their amps and smashing the drumheads with raw power, Robert suggested starting a stoner band! While Robert were newly in love with stoner rock, his and Albin’s top three list of bands both included AC/DC and Black Sabbath, while Viktor and Oskar don’t even have a top list of bands, but some of their mutual favorite bands include Rush, and Crosby, Stills & Nash. The result of their creativity and widely mixed influences became, to quote Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, QOTSA): “Guenna sound like if YES played heavy stoner music, with all the harmonies and stuff. And I mean the good part of YES! It’s fucking rad!”. Others say “Progressive Stoner Rock”.
While none of the members originally are from Malmö, Guenna is now based in Malmö, Sweden, the best geographically place in the country to connect with Europe. Guenna is ready to go intercontinental to share their art!
Only a couple of months after the band was formed in the fall of 2019, the debut EP “Guenna” was released in March 2020. In November of 2021, “Bongsai” was released via “Eat Heavy Records”, on the compilation vinyl “Eating The Swedish Underground vol. 1” consisting of Metalpodden’s selection of the eight best unsigned Swedish bands.
