Currently Listening to:
Ramesses - Take the Curse
Hooded Menace - Never Cross the Dead
Hooded Menace are a Finnish Doom/Death metal band heavily influenced by the Blind Dead movies (hence the name). There is a storming cover version of The Return of the Evil Dead theme on this album.
Ramesses are a UK band hailing from dorset made up of ex members of Electric Wizard. Very much Doom metal with a healthy dose of Sludge/Black metal thrown in with lots of horror samples including Friday the 13th, Dracula A.D. 1972 & The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue to name but a few.
Although I've seen Ramesses countless times live, Hooded Menace have only just put a live touring band together (the albums have only two people performing on them). But both bands are appearing at the Live Evil festival in Camden in October. My ticket has been puchased!!!
