The slowliness of Winter and Cathedral, the riffs of Asphyx, the brutality of Autopsy and influences of Amorphis and early Paradise Lost. Those are the main ingredients in the sound of this Finnish band. Lasse Pyykkö (guitars, bass and vocals) and Pekka Koskelo (drums) are the only two members. The music is slow, gloomy, groovy, brutal and grim. The vocals are low guttural ones and the songs are creepy crawling forwards. The tempo of the songs sounds like a steady marching horde of mastodons and together with the groovy cruel riffs and the vocals of Lasse you get a creepy and morbid feeling. Fans of very brutal death/doom metal will not sleep until they have their own copy. If you think that Candlemass is doom, you haven't heard to Hooded Menace yet! Some things need to be fast, other things need to be slow; like Hooded Menace. | ||||||||||||||||||
