Hooded Menace

They're a band from Finland. They employ a death metal sound in their doom metal. They are quite a heavy band like Acid Witch. Cool stuff.

Finland's HOODED MENACE has completed work on its new album, "Never Cross The Dead" for an early April release via Profound Lore Records.

According to a press release, "Never Cross The Dead" "takes the HOODED MENACE sound of their 'Fulfill The Curse' debut into heavier and doomier terrain. And, of course, further into the depths of plodding brutal death metal terror."

A bludgeoning and sprawling mix of old-school death metal and heaving glacial sludge doom, "Never Cross The Dead" is a horror-filled journey through the eyes of HOODED MENACE mastermind Lasse Pyykko, one of the most notorious, productive and prolific musicians in the underground death metal scene. Known for taking inspiration from cult horror films when it comes to the thematic elements that embody and give character to HOODED MENACE ("Never Cross The Dead", lyrically, takes inspiration from such films as "Return Of The Evil Dead", "Night Of The Seagulls" and "Vampyres", along with paying homage to Hammer films in general), musically, Lasse Pyykko has developed the sonic landscape of HOODED MENACE with this new release and has slightly expanded it a bit more. Of course it still maintains the elements of old-school death metal and crushing doom like never before because "Never Cross The Dead" is the heaviest- and sickest-sounding thing that Lasse has delivered to date. But on this new release, you'll hear a bit more BLACK SABBATH influence, along with more catchy dual guitar harmonics and more killer guitar leads, all while maintaining that classic ancient death metal/doom aura that bands like AUTOPSY, WINTER and CATHEDRAL (first album only!) had way back in the day.

The first album was one of the finest of it's year. I especially loved the Fabio Frizzi-cover, and I'm glad that it looks that they still have those classsic horror-themes in their catalogue. Waiting for the Goblin-covers..
