Product Description
2010 release from the Finnish Death Metal monsters. 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.

Great Doom/Death of Recent Times
Oct 20 2010
By Orphan of Sickness
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Back around late 2008, I remember hearing about the hype involving a fresh new band called Hooded Menace, back when they were signed to Razorback records and released "Fulfill the Curse". I greatly enjoyed it and knew that this band would bring promising things for the future. Fast forward to less than two years later, and the band releases "Never Cross the Dead". This time, they're on Profound Lore (for wider distribution), and they still managed to come out with some great material.
If you're new to this band, I'll give you a quick rundown on what you can expect on here. These riffs don't get much doomier than this, taking the styles of Asphyx and Winter and giving them a vibe of traditional doom, classic Finnish death metal and even a bit of the early My Dying Bride melancholy as well. Vocalist Lasse Pyykkö has been in a vast number of bands throughout the years, whether it would be Phlegethon, Vacant Coffin or Claws, but I find that this highlights his vocal talents the most effective.
While I personally may have enjoyed "Fulfill the Curse" a bit more, this is another solid and well-played horror themed album that gives the classic death/doom formula new life. Recommended if your tastes include Autopsy, Winter, Asphyx, or even Finnish death like Convulse and early Amorphis.

Doom done well...

Amazing guitar riffs that plod carefully along at dooms pace. Great for the horror fan in terms of lyical content. Even as heavy as it is there is plenty of other elements at play that keep it from being repetitive. Great gutteral vocals. I think I hear a little Cathedral influence. Support this music.

Bad Rip
April 29 2011
By R. Fecteau
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Excellent album if you like slow-paced death metal, but I wouldn't buy the Amazon MP3 version as it has bad rips of a few songs. There are bursts of static in them. Amazon has a history of bad rips and they never respond to complaints about them. In fact I will no longer buy MP3s from Amazon because of it.
