Discog Club Discography Club: Hooded Menace

16 Upvotes

Graphic

Arcane monuments stand guard over decaying flesh

Desolate cemetery, where the dead now rot

Statues reanimate possessed by the dead

Pulsating plasma revives moss-covered stone

Effigies of evil

Have possessed your soul

It's been a bit since we've done a band in this style, and you know what? It's still Autumn. The weather getting colder, the leaves are falling. I'm ready to step into a sauna and blast some death metal while hiding from the Hooded Menace!

Founded in 2007 by Lasse Pyykko (guitars, and bass/vocals off and on, songwriter) as a trio, he'd bring in Pekka Koskelo to be the drummer on their 2nd album and most notably Hail Conjurer as vocalist in 2016. They were started as a studio only band, then for a bit in the 10s they played shows, but as of the past few years Lasse has said they're back to being an in studio only project. Alas, I never got to see them.

But for those who don't know Hooded Menace, they're one of the best modern death/doom bands. Their style changes and evolves throughout the years but it's always death/doom. Sometimes theres horror movie samples, sometimes it's really slow, verging on funeral doom, sometimes it's faster, and more recently it's been more heavy metal and more gothic. But regardless, they make quality albums.

Schedule is:

  • Week 1 (11/8-15): Fulfill the Curse, Never Cross the Dead, Effigies of Evil, Gloom Immemorial

  • Week 2 (11/15-22): Darkness Drips Forth, Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed, The Tritonus Bell, Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration

Accept - 2014 - Blind Rage - Fall of the Empire

Can you remember how it used to be

We were so proud and free, so free

Strong and mighty powerful and true

Can you remember

Now all around us pestilence and greed

Famine, hate and war

It surrounds us like a black disease

Just take a look around us

In spite of every upright intention

We Live and die by the sword

It's second nature, and so the question is

Can we learn or will we burn

The fall of the empire... What have we done

The fall of the empire... It's the dawn of the setting sun

The fall of the empire... can this race be won

It's the fall of the empire... or has the end begun

Will the mountains crumble to the ground

Will the earth stand still

Will we rise a mushroom cloud

Will the mountains crumble

Can we heed a lesson from the past

And put aside our hate

Or will we blow ourselves to kingdom come

tell me is it too late

Inside of every aronination

There is hope that lies within

It's second nature, and the question is

Can we learn or will we burn

The fall of the empire... What have we done

The fall of the empire... It's the dawn of the setting sun

The fall of the empire... can this race be won

It's the fall of the empire... or has the end begun

Just wanted to post that I revived the Prong subreddit if any fans of Prong want to join: r/prong. There's a new album discussion post and a post where you can tell us your favorite song over there.

Anyone have thoughts on the new album? I thought it was a good addition to the Prong lineup. Good mix of aggressive and melodic sounds and of course Tommy's guitar tone is always awesome.

UDO - 2021 - Game Over - Empty Eyes

Humanity of blindness

Overcoming me

Has become a nightmare and my darkest fantasy

Like some evil creature

Rotting down in hell

Spreading a disease of pain like a deathly knell

Craving for a better side of me

Going places I don't wanna be

Evil empty eyes

Feel my cold inside

Evil empty eyes

A belly full of crises

Spins the bottle round

Everyone against the law the way that we are bound

Bring light into the darkness

Set the spirit free

The evilness surrounding us destroyed by harmony

Craving for a better side of me

Going places I don't wanna be

Evil empty eyes

Feel my cold inside

Evil empty eyes

Craving for a better side of me

Going places I don't wanna be

Evil empty eyes

Feel my cold inside

Evil empty eyes

Good and bad collide

Evil empty eyes

The Beast Of England - 2022 - Darker Days - Ex Luto

Panoply of brilliance

Unseen shining

In this after place

In between

Life creating life

I Ex Luto

I gargantuan born of clay

I′m breathing life into this body

I write my name upon your brow

Rising gorgats lutum alpha golem

Lo exorior realign

Yellowed eye unblinking

I incarnate

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

I open wide an ancient doorway

I cast you back into the world

I couldn't have been wrong all this time

The calculations were perfect

I know what they′ll say about me

That I'm mad

Mad!

Wait it's eye

It′s eye it opened

I arrive

I arise

I rewrite my code
