Hooded Menace - Never Cross the Dead

    I have no idea why it has taken me so long to actually listen to this, what I now consider a damned near masterpiece. Hooded Menace spit forth some simply nasty classic death metal infused with good dose of doom. I don't know if its a nostalgia thing but, this hits all the right notes with me. Buzzsaw guitar sound, vocals that are actually kinda frightening, full on drumming assault, an atmosphere of actual menace...check, check, check, and check!   I remember the feeling I had the first time I listened to Incantation and Autopsy, fright! Those records really scarred the shit out of me. There was was a sense that these guys were serious. Like serial killer serious. I get that feeling listening to "Never Cross the Dead". Hooded Menace have done there homework. While paying homage to all those terrifying originators, they remain very distinctly themselves! Listen to this Now!     

Get it here.
