Never Cross the Dead

by Hooded Menace

supported by

Dante Ruivo One of the best HM albums, in an almost perfect catalogue. Perfect death/doom! Favorite track: Night of the Deathcult.

roughbough those kind of undead, walking corpses are the kind to enchant my ears with symphonies of haunting images. Easily one of my favorite DM releases ever. Favorite track: The House of Hammer.

about

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.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
