Biography

He has participated on all of Gehenna's releases, both as a vocalist and as a guitarist.^{[ citation needed ]} During the period between 1999 and 2003, when it was unclear whether the band would continue, Sanrabb was the only member actively working on Gehenna projects. ^[2]

In addition to Gehenna, Sanrabb has played in several other extreme metal bands, and he has done session live guitars for bands such as Mayhem and Satyricon.^{[ citation needed ]}

Reception

In a review of the Gehenna album Unravel (2013), Angry Metal Guy wrote, "Sanrabb’s vox are in top form", describing his "dragged out scream in 'The Decision'" as "a kind of a strained, gut-wrenching, throaty sort of half growl/half scream that brings to mind the anguished lamentations of John Haughm during the early, unpolished days of a young Agalloch ". ^[3]
