"Peak of Jin'Arrah" is the debut album by Guenna. Hailing from the southernmost part of Sweden, this 4 piece offers a thrilling take of fuzzy, progressive and heavy rock with vocal harmonies, perhaps described best by Nick Oliveri during a night when Guenna opened up for his band Stöner in Malmö; "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!" "Peak of Jin'Arrah" offers 8 new tracks recorded in Tambourine Studios, Malmö. For the release of the album, Guenna has teamed up with Swedish hard rock / fuzz rock label The Sign Records. "Peak of Jin'Arrah" is released on the 19th of April, 2024 on 300 copies on black vinyl and 200 copies on transparent green vinyl. The album will also be available on most digital platforms. 

FFO: Tool, Opeth, Skraeckoedlan, Porcupine Tree, Mastodon, Baroness. The band comments:
"The completion of this album has been a much bigger project than we had initially prepared for and it has been clear that we have not done anything of this magnitude before. But FINALLY after many months of work, we now have a record that we are incredibly proud to be able to share. Though each member in the band has their own way of writing music and concepts for songs, we all have a shared affinity for adventure, sci-fi and the mythical uknown. That is something that heavily influences our creative process from beginning to end. Several songs has started as a concept before a single note has even been written. Ideas and musical motifs are usually written individually, presented infront of the band and then, as a group, we build, write, and arrange concepts, themes, and storys together."

Press Quotes

an interesting mixture of fuzz, stoner, progressive and heavy rock. Add vocal harmonies to that, and you get something that Nick Oliveri (STÖNER, KYUSS, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, MONDO GENERATOR, The DWARVES etc) has described as 'if YES played heavy stoner music'. Yes, this is something that will fit perfect for both heavy rockers and fans of progressive rock. And it also happens to be really good.
