In December, Finland’s death-doom-cult HOODED MENACE will release a complete singles collection entitled Gloom Immemorial, through Doomentia Records.
Both a gift to their longtime fans that won’t have to spend shitloads of dollars on eBay to get a worn out copy of those now long out-of-print titles and a little snack while everybody’s waiting to be crushed by their next album (hopefully in 2015), HOODED MENACE mainman Lasse Pyykkö has gathered all split and EP tracks in one place for this CD compilation.
Clocking at a whooping 76 minutes and featuring four different lineups and such rarities as “I, Devil Master” (recorded for the Live Evil Vol.1 comp) or the very first versions of “Fulfill the Curse” or “The Eyeless Horde” that appeared on the band’s sole demo back in 2007, Gloom Immemorial is also graced by a very special artwork courtesy of Chris from Misanthropic Art.
And for all you collectors’ freaks, make sure to grab the special limited edition: a CD box with each releases original art printed on an individual cards with the song’s credits on the flipside.
