Hooded Menace to Record New Album at Skyhammer Studio

Three years seems like a bit of time since the last Hooded Menace full-length, Effigies of Evil, came out, but if like me you saw that and were surprised it had been that long, it’s probably because the band keeps so active. In that three years, they’ve released two splits, two EPs and most recently, a compilation of non-album material called Gloom Immemorial that hit in December on Doomentia Records. So if three years comes seems like a while, it’s not exactly like the Finnish death-doomers have been quiet all that time.

Still, they’re due for a new record, and they’ll do the tracking with Conan bassist/producer Chris Fielding (also engineer for Electric Wizard, Coltsblood, Primordial, etc.) at Skyhammer Studio. Relapse is saying it’ll be out by the end of the year, and that’s cool by me:
