PUNKS OF THE EMPIRE Consider Our Existence On ‘Gehenna’

Gehenna, the new album from Icelandic metal group Punks Of The Empire, is a concept album filled with twists and turns in musical style and its atmospheric trivia about existence. The story is a dark path of sorrow, turned into hate, the blinded act of violence, and the nonstrategic path of remorse.

The album was written and recorded in 2022-2023.

Punks Of The Empire started as a studio project between very unlike musicians with a hefty goal of mixing different styles into a brutal metal package. They began their journey with a thrashy Anthrax hit Why We’re Empty, which caught a lot of attention and from there, there was no turning back.

Punks Of The Empire released a brutal 4 titled EP Facade in 2021 and started, in that same year, writing their debut album Gehenna.
