i just saw them tonight at Las Vegas Doom in june. all the other bands besides Leaches of Lore sucked ass. Hooed Menace was The only real doom metal band all night.
I'm sure other bands only dream of making songs that sound so damn evil, yet so melodic and catchy. I mean death/doom albums are usually a bit more difficult to get into but the opening riff in this song instantly hooks anyone listening.
Lasse's vocals sound like the horrid belching of an ancient, recently-unearthed cadaver. Fucking amazing. Sucks that he's not in Acid Witch anymore! Oh well, I always preferred Hooded Menace.
The riff that starts aroud 1:42 sounds like something out of the Castlevania series. It's so fucking awesome. This band is THE shit. Too bad I can't find any other band with a similar sound, although I like another band from the same label, Acid Witch.
Ha, well Acid Witch isn't just another "band on the same label", it's Lasse Pyykkö's OTHER band! Hooded Menace and Acid Witch were his two main bands. Well and Phlegethon is another one of his popular bands he's been in.
To be honest, I'm not sure that I'd ever really consider Acid Witch one of Lasse's bands. He was more a session vocals for their first LP. Acid Witch was always a Detroit based band - sort of far from Finland.
Lasse does have a fantastic death metal band called Claws. They didn't release much, but its real fucking killer stuff. Sounds like a mix of Entombed's "Left Hand Path" and early Bolt Thrower. Check 'em out.

Man, it's doom, what did you expect? :D
Band take's somehing from Black Sabbath and turns it to be part of their song. This is good music in my books.

@superwesker1 Give the Japanese band "Coffins" a go. Not quite as awesome as HM but in a pretty similar vein (just done a split with them.)
Their album "Buried Death is very enjoyable.

This has to be the best kind of Death / Doom nowadays, along with Acid Witch, in which Lasse Pyykkö is also involved. Thanks for the upload
