Hooded Menace Gearing Up To Record New Album

Finnish death/doom horde Hooded Menace is preparing to enter the studio to record a fourth full-length and first new record since 2012's "Effigies of Evil."

The band will be entering Skyhammer Studio in the U.K. to record with Chris Fielding (Electric Wizard, Moss, Napalm Death, The Wounded Kings) while Brad Boatright (Yob, Vallenfyre, Beastmilk, Sleep) will be mastering the album at Audiosiege in the U.S.

Justin Bartlett (SUNN O))), Kvelertak, Trap Them), with whom the band worked on a 2010 split 7" with Anima Morte, will be handling the cover art and layout. Expect the album to drop in the latter half of 2015 via Relapse Records.

Hooded Menace also recently released a compilation of splits and EPs entitled "Gloom Immemorial" via Doomentia Records. See Hooded Menace live on these dates:
