Review by Daniel for Hooded Menace - Never Cross the Dead (2010)

Some really chunky doom death metal with obvious early Cathedral influences. The guitar sound is heavily down-tuned & sludgy. Vocalist Lasse's Cookie Monster vocals are pretty unconvincing & the overall sound is a bit primitive. There are some really heavy chugging moments spoiled by some really bad groovy ones. The guitar solos are particularly average. This whole CD sounds a bit dated in today's environment.
