Hooded Menace - Gloom Immemorial

The fans of the death/doom metal sound will be aware of the Finish Hooded Menace, which were formed in 2007. Since then they have released 3 full-length albums and this new work is a compilation of old EPs and split-EPs which were released during these 7 years. In a way, this is a good move since the die-hard fans won’t have to search out for every single EP and pay big amounts of money to get them just for one or two tracks.
 
The CD contains:
1. Fulfill the Curse (from “The Eyeless Horde” 7"EP)
2. The Eyeless Horde (from “The Eyeless Horde” 7"EP)
3. A Decay of Mind and Flesh (Anima Morte cover) (from split with Anima Morte 7"EP)
4. The Haunted Ossuary (from split with Coffins 7"EP)
5. I, Devil Master (from “Live Evil Volume One” comp. DLP)
6. Catacombs of the Graceless (from split with Ilsa 12"EP)
7. Abode of the Grotesque (from split with Asphyx 7"EP)
8. Instruments of Eternal Damnation (from split with Horse Latitudes 12"EP)
9. Chasm of the Wraith (from “Labyrinth of Carrion Breeze” 12"EP)
10. The Creeping Flesh (from “Labyrinth of Carrion Breeze” 12"EP)
11. Monuments of Misery (from split with Loss 12"EP)
 
The sound is somewhat raw and a tad “noisy”… it will remind you of the 90s death/doom metal productions. This compilation mostly addresses the loyal followers of the band who like to have every single track the band has released over the years…
