Hooded Menace is a Finnish death/doom metal band known for crafting a unique blend of morose and heavy music since their inception in 2007. Founded by guitarist Lasse Pyykkö, who endured as the group's central figure, the band has steadily ascended in the metal underworld through their love of horror-infused themes and crushing sonic landscapes. Drawing inspiration from classic horror films and the darker side of human nature, Hooded Menace's sound is characterized by down-tuned guitars, slow and ponderous rhythms, and a sense of impending dread wrapped in melodic intricacies.

The band's discography is a testament to their evolution and their ability to expand the confines of the genre while staying true to their core aesthetic. Their latest release, "The Tritonus Bell," showcases this evolution, delivering both heavier and more melodious elements. Preceding creations like "Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed (Deluxe)" and "Darkness Drips Forth" further cement Hooded Menace's reputation as craftspeople of the macabre, replete with doom-laden riffs and an atmosphere thick with gothic horror. With a consistent output of high-caliber music, Hooded Menace has garnered a loyal following and critical acclaim, becoming a cornerstone in the global death/doom scene.
