"Black Seared Heart" is compilation of very early recordings by the Norwegian black metal band Gehenna.

Tracks 1-7 are labeled "Pact I" and originally appeared on Gehenna's 1993 demo, "Black Seared Heart". It was released on a cassette, limited to 100 copies. They were recorded in June, 1993.

Tracks 8 & 9 are labeled "Pact II". These songs were recorded in January, 1994 for an album which was never completed, the two included on this compilation ("A Witch is Born" & "Night of the Serpent's Judgment") were re-mixed on an old portable four-track home recorder with the addition of Sarcana's keyboard parts as the original versions only contained guitar, bass and drum tracks. Both of these tracks would later be re-recorded with a much different sound and released on "Seen Through the Veils of Darkness (The Second Spell)".

Track 10 is labeled "Pact III." This track is from an old rehearsal cassette that was recorded even before the demo.
