Interview: HOODED MENACE

Hooded Menace’s Never Cross the Dead is one of my favorite albums of 2010.  It’s a sickening slab of vintage-style death/doom with no shortage of gnarly slow-motion riffs, not to mention some genuinely creepy, catchy melodies that will lodge themselves in your skull like the rusty swords of the bloodthirsty Blind Dead.  I contacted Hooded Menace mainman Lasse Pyykko via e-mail for the following in-depth interrogation.
