hOODED mENACE- nEVER cROSS THE DEAD

oK. So lots of hype on this release in 2010. I saw it on the top of alot of lists for best of.. and... I must say i agree. This release def stands out and Has influenced me personally and my direction of writing music (Yeah, its like that) Most of you readers who read this blog should already know all about this and if you don't than here you go, HOODED MENACE are are punishing death/doom band that play Doom more in the "traditional" style of Doom and this release absolutely crushes!  If you like Coffins you should love this. Crippling melodic chugging riffs with an occult influence much along the same influence of MOSS with their Tombs Of The Blind Dead themes. As far as me posting my personal best of 2010 list, I just haven't been into judging things that way yet, but I will tell you if I do get around to making one this will be in my top 5 for SURE! Pick up this Lp at the only place that seems to still have them in in the states PROFOUND LORE
and over seas Im not sure where you should go.

Cauchemar La Vierge Noire

Why did I wat so long to grab this? This band Is killer! Finally got ahold of the LP, be prepared for vintage sounding Sabbath esque French, occult-like, Canadian  Heavy Metal! Bands that come to mind are obviously Sabbath, early Priest, Witchfinder General, Venom, Acid, Witchfynde, Dust, and most bands that hail from the NWOBHM era. The vocals, from a female lady who can really belt the shit out, is why this release has some originality! Fuck! Cheers to bands that keep their sound archaic and fresh at the same time. My only complaint about this Lp is that its too short. I want more.... Head on over to NuclearWarNow! if you want a copy.
