Gehenna Tattoo - Songs Of The Weak

Gehenna Tattoo's style has been tabbed "Electro-Acoustic Bloodletting of the Soul" The project is much more accessible than is typically expected from NLM alumns. Some Standout cuts: Perfect Day, Charlie The Arkangel, This Body, and a revamped cover of Moral Supports 20th Century!

NLM + Love Spit Love + Pedro the Lion + a dash of Daniel Amos = the latest from Worthless Records, Gehenna Tattoo
.
Every Tuesday night during 2001, for about as many Tuesday nights as I can recall, Ryan Brown was holed up in an undisclosed south Phoenix location with Scott, Mike, and Dave. These three NLM survivors started playing out as a stripped down trio known as Gehenna Tattoo. These Tuesday night sessions were so inspired I even took my kid down to watch one night. And, after countless Tuesdays, at last, an album was born: "Songs of the Weak". -Geoff Brown

No Laughing Matter - 3 Song Demo


This Three Song Demo was recorded back in 1989 in between Discernment and Monstor. It was a six-month experiment with Ted Worthless switching to Bass and the addition of Gavin Affatica on guitar. More of an accessible, straight-ahead rock sound was prevalent on these three tunes. These tunes were in the hands of very few people at the time, and even fewer still today. Nate Stiffler was on drums, and Scott Roman was on Vocals.

Interesting side note: There were two photos of the band taken for this project. Both of the buildings were either torn down or burned down after the pictures were taken. The pictures we took for Discernment were at a train station that burned down, and the picture on the back of the Monstor CD was taken inside the remains of then drummer Dave Blomgren's home, which had caught fire and burned down. Strange but true.......
