Stoner Rockers GEHENNA SOUR Release New Song SHINE A LIGHT From Upcoming New EP

Gehenna Sour, hailing from Tampere, Finland, will release their new single Shine a Light on October 7th 2026. This will also be the first single on their upcoming EP, Sour Taste of Heaven.

In a previous chapter Gehenna Sour were seen speeding full throttle across a dusty desert. Now the band, worse for wear and with parched throats, have clawed their way out of the desert and into a concrete jungle. Ruthless boogie and post-midnight groove are still present, and the choruses will park permanently in your brain. Here’s what vocalist Kyy has to say about the song:

“This is like a modern day Romeo and Juliet set in the seedier part of East Helsinki. Jarmo and Irma are trying to find the true meaning of love. Obviously it doesn’t work out that great.”

The song was recorded in June 2026 at Studio Watercastle, Punkalaidun. Recording, mixing and mastering by Arttu Sarvanne. On keyboards a long time collaborator Grande Voix, additional recordings by Henri Virsell.

Psych/Fuzz/Stoner Rockers GEHENNA SOUR Release New Song/Video For HOLLOW GROUND

Gehenna Sour is a melodic psych stoner fuzz rock band from Tampere, Finland. Their sound has echoes from dusty deserts and the pinnacle era of the Sunset Strip. Fuzz guitars rattle the fillings out of your teeth, but the hooks catch like a virus.

Sometimes dubbed The Monster Magnet of Manse, the band was formed in 2020 and has been gigging at a steady pace. The members have played previously, or still play, in bands such as Rückwater, Doris Molli, The Voodoo Nights, Tundra Fever, Nitrokiss and Good Lookin’ Society.

The latest single release Hollow Ground will be out on Thursday May 22nd 2025. It is a driving song with a relentless boogie that would be right at home when blasted on a car radio while hurtling through the desert. The lyrics tell a true story about a Finnish man’s spiritual state and longing in the aftermath of a rock ‘n’ roll life.

The song was recorded in August 2024 at Studio Watercastle in Punkalaidun, Finland by Toni Siiskonen (Black Royal), who is also responsible for the production along with the band. Mixing and mastering was done by the legendary J-J Nippala (Viikate, To/Die/For, Vesa-Matti Loiri). Keyboards were played by Grande Voix.

An accompanying music video was shot in the beginning of 2025 at Nekala and Restaurant Telakka in Tampere. It was filmed and edited by Matti Autio, based on an epic script written by the band. The bass player Pet Terry says about the video:

“The music video is a tribute to the 80s and films, TV-shows and popular culture depicting the era. See how many pop culture references you can spot! Despite the age of modern technology, the visually stunning video is made to be viewed on a big screen and requires multiple viewings to capture all the small details. John Carpenter meets David Lynch and Aki Kaurismäki!”

The feedback from pre-release screenings has been revealing:
“World-class video art.”
“Let’s watch it again.”

Psych Stoner Rockers GEHENNA SOUR Release New Song/Video For I AM ONE WITH THE SUN

Gehenna Sour, the so-called Monster Magnet of Manse, is a rock band from Tampere, Finland. Their sound has echoes from dusty deserts and the pinnacle era of the Sunset Strip. The fuzz overdrive screams at eleven but hooks catch like a virus.

Gehenna Sour was formed in 2020 and has been gigging actively. The members have played previously, or still play, in bands such as Rückwater, Doris Molli, Tundra Fever, Nitrokiss and Good Lookin’ Society.

The newest release, more than seven minutes long epic I Am One with the Sun, will be out on Thursday March 20th 2025. Lyrically it may tell a story about the traditional Finnish spirit Koskenkorva, or then again, it might not. All the same, the story gets a massive accompaniment. Fuzz guitar rattles the fillings out of your teeth, but the delicate and emotional chorus paints a more beautiful, even hopeful picture.

The song was recorded in August 2024 at Studio Watercastle in Punkalaidun, Finland by Toni Siiskonen (Black Royal), who is also responsible for the production along with the band. Mixing and mastering was done by the legendary J-J Nippala (Viikate, To/Die/For, Vesa-Matti Loiri). Keyboards were played by Grande Voix.
