The Sign Records are proud to announce that Guenna has joined the label for the release of their debut album »Peak Of Jin’Arrah«. 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!”

Guenna’s debut album »Peak Of Jin’Arrah« will be released in 2024 and the first single »Weedwacker« is released on all streaming platforms on the 1st of December. Robert from the band comments:

“I came up with the theme for »Weedwacker« when I was taking a walk in my hometown near the Norwegian border in Sweden. I walked past fields and big luxury houses with well trimmed gardens, and started to think about how crazy lawn mowing would be if weeds and grass had the same sense of fear and pain as living creatures. A complete massacre!”

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.

“Progressive stoner from the Swedish taiga forest!”
