Hooded Menace are a Finnish death-doom band formed in Joensuu in 2007 by guitarist Lasse Pyykkö, who had previously performed in a death metal band named Phlegethon.

History

The band kickstarted their career by recording a two-track demo titled The Eyeless Horde in 2007, which was released on 7" vinyl the following year. The band released their debut album, Fulfill the Curse, in 2008; followed by the highly acclaimed sophomore full-length album, Never Cross the Dead, in 2010.

The band continued to record and release albums, with their third full-length album, Effigies of Evil, released in 2012; followed by Darkness Drips Forth in 2015. The band have also released several split albums and EPs, with bands such as Asphyx.

The band have also toured in Europe and North America, performing at many major metal festivals such as Hellfest, Roadburn, Maryland Deathfest, Tuska, and Party San Open Air among others.

The band released their fifth studio album Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed in 2018.{{citation needed|date=September 2024}}

The band's lyrics are influenced by horror fiction, particularly films such as Tombs of the Blind Dead.
