For more than two decades, Hooded Menace have stood as the pillar between two realms of underground metal. The Finnish band are still transfixed by classic horror on their monumental new album. But Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration only goes to show that these stewards of death-doom remain far from stuck in their ways.Â
"...if Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration doesn't match Tritonus [Bell], it reiterates the trio's true north", writes Decibel in an 8/10 review. "Four seven-minute tracks comprise the heart and guts of the album, keening boom/gloom workouts of hammer-and-anvil classicism".Â
"Lasse Pyykkö has once again infused the new album with a blend of their signature crushing heaviness and a daring sense of innovation", hails New Noise.
Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration comes out tomorrow, Friday, October 3, but you can hear all seven earthshaking tracks today by listening to the full album stream on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.Â
