THE BLIND DEAD ARE BACK!!!!

Lasse Pyykkö of Phlegethon, Claws, Acid Witch and all fame may had been the busiest (rotten) been around over the last two years but Hooded Menace is where both the music, critics and fans of putrid – and we mean PUTRID – doom/death metal met perfectly.

Claiming no beating-around-the-bush influences by Cathedral’s ‘Forest Of Equilibrium’, Paradise Lost’s ‘Lost Paradise’, Hellhammer, Winter and other slimy metal artifacts, Pyykkö have once again summoned a monster, sludgy riffs and guttural growls from beyond the grave, all under the watchful eyes of the Blind Dead. Recorded as a two-piece (with Pyykkö handling all the instruments but the drums), Even more compact than its predecessor, ‘Never Cross The Dead’ takes back the doom/death to its most primitive state, piling riff upon riff upon riff with a sledgehammer until your head and ears fucking bleed, meaning that whenever they do pick up the tempo (“Night Of The Deathcult”), it’s only to rip you from the inside even more. And don’t you dare think ‘Never Cross The Dead’ is just a title: it is indeed a warning as there are out there some doors better left close and under heavy chains. This fearful album is a glimpse of what would then fall upon mankind if we let the untamed monstrosities which hide behind them go free. Question is: will you dare looking at it?

Since the band were asked to perform on the first edition of ‘Live Evil’ festival (curated by Fenriz from Darkthrone) in London and since the now highly-collectable 2 LP version of ‘Fulfill The Curse’ unleashed by DOOMENTIA two years ago became sold-out in no time and now delights both fans and Ebay speculators, even The Great Horned One is strongly advised to order its copy NOW of this deluxe vinyl version of ‘Never Cross The Dead’ if he doesn’t want to end up to have to sacrifice a whole wagon of fresh virgins to get one later…"
