This is why I subscribe to this channel. Great review injected with plenty of weirdness and a band I never heard of just became a part of my heavy listening rotation. Great stuff guys
Blayne, you have gotten me into so many new bands and genres that I previously had thought was just one way but I am now diving way deeper into stuff like doom and atmospheric
I hear an early Paradise lost, My Dying bride, Death Doom vibe. Great. I'll go next to their bandcamp. Hope you guys review the new Tribulation Album, I feel this band might be the next big thing in the underground here in Europe. Cheers.
This is honestly my favorite review of what has become one of my favorite albums. Blayne is awesome and he has converted me to the ways of Hooded Menace worship.
Can't thank Blayne enough for teaching me about Hooded Menace. Darkness Drips Forth has become my favorite album, but Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed was a great introduction
Blayne this album is superb, and like...all over the place. it's got some more like clobbering shit, some melodic parts, and some dripping atmosphere ala Evoken. really cool. thanks for the heads up.
leave it up to Blayne to give a review as multi-faceted as a review that can ever be given! love their new record, love your Stream too Blayne, Cheers from Kuwait!
Kudos for a solid review. It's refreshing to see Blayne focusing on substance instead of gratuitous non-stop wise-cracking, funny as it may be. Perhaps all the humor in the tag-team review, and the sketch in the beginning of this one, allowed the funniness to get expressed freeing up the bulk of the review of HM to focus on the music itself. Both aspects - good stuff!
There's like a grandiosity to it that hasn't been in previous efforts, but it only puts a gloss on the fetid stench of their delicious deathy doom. This album sounds incredible, I neeeeeed it
Hell yes this album is fucking phenomenal.... If it wasn't for Blayne I would never have given Hooded Menace a second look, but now theyre one of my favorite death/doom bands.
Blayne is the best thing to ever happen to this channel. Not that it wasn't great already, but now it's just unsubscribable. Not that I would have unsub- awww fuck it. I love this channel.
Also, that bass tone, the guitar tone is awesome, but they don't turn down anything (I hate when modern bands bury the bass in the mix). This has to be one the best albums I've heard in a long time, it's just so fucking awesome!
That's my shit right there. Definitely getting this one, and the one you mentioned was their benchmark (the title escapes me atm, but I'll find it.) Another hilarious review, and some great new music.
MetalComedy, whao, slow down there Mr. Moneybags. You may be able to live on love and metal, maybe a little meth, but I need sandwiches! Catalogued for future reference though. Death/doom is one feisty drug.
Got the CD, Tape, Vinyl, Shirt and Patch of this album. I too first heard of them from this album. Needless to say I also enjoyed it a little! Great review dude! Also Harri has another Doom Metal band called Horse Latitudes, 2 bass no guitars, worth checking out, very unique!
Great review, Blayne! I’m totally in love with the white hooded menace shirt which flashed at some point during the review. Do you have any idea where I can get one? Love from Denmark!
Thanks man! Love from Canada. Unfortunately, that's my OLDEST Hooded Menace shirt so I'm guessing they don't make it any more. Had it for like 6 or 7 years.
You were so right about their guitar tone! As a tone geek I concur wholeheartedly. It is to Death/Doom what Carcass's "Heartwork" tone was to Melodic Death Metal, imho.
reviewed this album a while back myself... agreed with almost everything... gave it 7/10 because it was a little short and the last song and celtic frost cover, while a nice little extra , were kinda bland (as some parts of the songs themselves too). I wished more for another song instead (the album is pretty short for Death/Doom, clocking in at around 40 minutes without the bonus). anyway, keep up the nice reviews, enjoy yours and Sarah's way more than Sams.
I have to say this album just kicks ass in so many ways. Giving Shape of Despairs last album a run for my fave album of all time. And the production...oh my amazing.
The outfit changes in this is epic. Also like the fact that the cardboard cutout's got a shirt not seen in this video otherwise. The fanboy is strong in this one
I wonder if Blayne like Hooded Menace at all? You think it would be something he’d listen to? Nice review as always Blayne! Keep up all the great work.
What I love about death doom like this, is that it sounds like say...Bloodbath smoked a lot of pot and forgot how to play fast. I mean that in the best way possible.
awesome, funny, and spot on review. Thanks for introducing me to this band through the Lock Horns Death/Doom debate. I'm just getting hip to the genre, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. I'd love to get your take on the latest Desolate Shrine album....maybe check that out for review?
your a great reviewer if you didn't review the new Cradle of Filth album i'd say your the best. it's your right not to like goth but they should have let one of the girls who are into goth review it. only bad thing I can think of big fan of Cradle of Filth if that wasn't evident
Haha thanks dude! Hey you can look at that review as a bad thing OR you can look at it that even a guy who hates CoF had to give the record some respect. Either way appreciate you sticking with me even after it ;)
no problem I like you all here for all your different opinions on Metal my Favorite bands are Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir Dark funeral Cannibal Corpse and Septicflesh
...and a comedians favorite genre is the saddest of all metal... DOOM! Poor guy Blayne, he must be depressed on the inside :'( Anyways thanks for making us laugh, hang in there buddy! :D Btw It's so cool that you guys are reviewing albums from lesser known bands as well... not the biggest fan of doom/death but I fairly enjoyed this album, it's full of memorable melodies, sick ass riffs and has an atmosphere I can get lost in... so thanks for the recommendation, lots of
It's just a theory... but I think Blayne really likes Hooded Menace
Just a bit yeah.
I see no proof of that!
I'm really getting into Death Doom thanks to your videos. Cheers from Argentina Blayne!
@@MetalComedy here's your proof 3:29
I don’t know about that dude, seems like a stretch to me man hmm
Hands down the best presenter/reviewer.
Thank youuuu.
So true, it’s between him, Dekay, and Dunn for me - but imma have to go with Blayne
This is why I subscribe to this channel. Great review injected with plenty of weirdness and a band I never heard of just became a part of my heavy listening rotation. Great stuff guys
That's what we like to hear! \m/
Thank you Thank you Thank you! These comments mean the most!
Same!!!
Blayne, you have gotten me into so many new bands and genres that I previously had thought was just one way but I am now diving way deeper into stuff like doom and atmospheric
This is always so rad to hear. Thanks man! Happy to do it.
Loved how he started the review of
So my wife absolutely DESPISES metal but looks forward to your reviews anyway. What the internet needs is more of you.
Jason Goodman time to get a new wife
This is a huge compliment. Thanks so much dude.
You're very welcome :)
So...your wife fancies Blayne?
mrbtapir dude's funny enough that my metal hating wife is happy to watch the review with me despite the subject material.
this guy could sell me everything!
Pssst you wanna buy some... Hooded Menace?
I hope Blayne reviews the new Machine Head, he's absolutely gonna destroy that album
You're half right.
What is this guy, psychic or something?
metal comedy rules he always got the most badass awesome fucking reviews love this dude 🤘🏽
Thanks again man! Love ya.
I hear an early Paradise lost, My Dying bride, Death Doom vibe. Great. I'll go next to their bandcamp. Hope you guys review the new Tribulation Album, I feel this band might be the next big thing in the underground here in Europe. Cheers.
These week was a little to full unfortunately. It is an AWESOME albums though. Really really dig it.
Props for the GSP reference, he's why I have so much respect for Canada
Thanks bud! GOAT of all GOATs.
The world would be a sad place without Blayne, keep it up man. 🤘🏾🔥
I will! Just for you guys.
Excellent review as always my man!
Love the editing! Great job guys!
This is honestly my favorite review of what has become one of my favorite albums. Blayne is awesome and he has converted me to the ways of Hooded Menace worship.

Thanks man! Cheers from Canada.
i hope you get well soon and get rid of that Pneumonia, wishing you and all the BangerTv Crew the best and Queue the "GOTHIC" shit!

Thanks man! I'm new and always working to try and find a balance. Appreciate the feedback.
If that Blayne carboard cut-out isnt on sale in the merch store then this channel is losing my subscription
Haha, we'll get right on it!
i see the anime is strong with this one
Shhh it's a secret.
@@MetalComedy what's the name?
There's like a grandiosity to it that hasn't been in previous efforts, but it only puts a gloss on the fetid stench of their delicious deathy doom. This album sounds incredible, I neeeeeed it
Yeah, most different album they've put out so far I thought.
I could watch Blayne review something every damn day and not get bored! unfortunately I don't have a desk to hide behind so it could get awkward
I'll roll with it if you do! ;)
I wasn't expecting the Food Wars clip but I dug it. Great review!
Gotta keep y'all on your toes!
Blayne FTW. Keep them coming!
Will do!
Oh Blayne that Decaying album was streaming on RUclips, it's pretty good! Asphyx needs more love
Hell yeah, Asphyx rule and I love anything that sounds like 'em. Criminal overlooked.
Hell yes this album is fucking phenomenal.... If it wasn't for Blayne I would never have given Hooded Menace a second look, but now theyre one of my favorite death/doom bands.
Fantastic review and brilliant album. Definitely a 5/5. The Portal album is also great. Thanks for the recommendation.
great review, great band
Love your reviews
Love your comments!
Blayne is the best thing to ever happen to this channel. Not that it wasn't great already, but now it's just unsubscribable. Not that I would have unsub- awww fuck it. I love this channel.
I see Blayne...I hit like... Giant goofball...
On another note, BIG respect for mentioning Paradise Lost! That new album is AMAZING
Damn thanks man! Back at ya!
5/5 would listen to this album again
came for the album review then came for the anime clip..
How many times does he change his shirt in this one video???? Holy shit. Pick one! Haha
Who can choose!
Also, that bass tone, the guitar tone is awesome, but they don't turn down anything (I hate when modern bands bury the bass in the mix). This has to be one the best albums I've heard in a long time, it's just so fucking awesome!
I'm so glad you love it. I can't wait for my copy to arrive later today. Hooded Menace rules! Thanks!
Can't wait for my vinyl copy to get here.
The GSP comparison was PERFECT lol. Everyone assumed he grew up wrestling with how great he was
GOAT for suuuuure.
Loved the band bio bit. XD
Gonna check this one out, and Decaying. \m/
Cheers!!
Much appreciated man. I hope you dig 'em!
This sounds siiick!! Gonna check it out right away, thanks!
Please do!
MetalComedy fantastic album, thanks! Man, january has been amazing so far :)
This review is spot on and fucking hilarious. Well done.
Please review the new Portal album
The Province of Ontario paid for that Shokugeki no Souma reference
It's educational!
Blayne is back!!!! Yay!
That's my shit right there. Definitely getting this one, and the one you mentioned was their benchmark (the title escapes me atm, but I'll find it.) Another hilarious review, and some great new music.
Love to hear this! Getting people into new bands is my favourite. Never Cross the Dead is the other one!
MetalComedy, whao, slow down there Mr. Moneybags. You may be able to live on love and metal, maybe a little meth, but I need sandwiches! Catalogued for future reference though. Death/doom is one feisty drug.
As long as you've been converted!
goo.gl/images/taMSVs
Early days yet, but this is my fav album so far this year. Super brutal awesomeness
Got the CD, Tape, Vinyl, Shirt and Patch of this album. I too first heard of them from this album. Needless to say I also enjoyed it a little! Great review dude! Also Harri has another Doom Metal band called Horse Latitudes, 2 bass no guitars, worth checking out, very unique!
Also I want a Hooded Menace, sleeveless. Or did you cut those off?
Hacked 'em off myself.
I'm happy he gets to review these guys, know he loves em!
I'm pretty happy too.
Great review, Blayne!
I’m totally in love with the white hooded menace shirt which flashed at some point during the review. Do you have any idea where I can get one? Love from Denmark!
Thanks man! Love from Canada. Unfortunately, that's my OLDEST Hooded Menace shirt so I'm guessing they don't make it any more. Had it for like 6 or 7 years.
I never heard of this band but I like. This reviewer makes me wanna buy him a beer and I don't drink lol.
I'll drink whatever you don't bud!
Now I'm mad I didn't listen to them sooner. Great review!
A 💀💀💀💀💀 review for a 💀💀💀💀💀 album. You are easily the best reviewer on Bangertv.
Much appreciated my man! Quite a compliment.
You were so right about their guitar tone! As a tone geek I concur wholeheartedly. It is to Death/Doom what Carcass's "Heartwork" tone was to Melodic Death Metal, imho.
It's my favouritttttte
Good taste!
Blayne, what did you think of "Medusa" by Paradise Lost from last year (speaking of death/doom)?
Great return to form for the band I thought. Thumbs up from me!
YEESSS BLAYNE. I am always so quick to push this band on anyone who hasn't heard them. This album is beautiful.
Hell ya bud! Hooded Menace brothers.
didn't expect to see shokugeki no souma in this channel lol
rred
Haha food wars
I'm always bringing the weird.
"its got a bonus cd with a Celtic Frost track on it!" - PURCHASED INSTANTLY!!!
V. bummed they didn't send it to me :'(
Well, as a consolation, i did suggest to my friends in UK Death Metal band Infected Dead send you a copy of their EP to review and enjoy :)
i like this reviewer, don't let this guy go Sam Dunn!
reviewed this album a while back myself... agreed with almost everything... gave it 7/10 because it was a little short and the last song and celtic frost cover, while a nice little extra , were kinda bland (as some parts of the songs themselves too). I wished more for another song instead (the album is pretty short for Death/Doom, clocking in at around 40 minutes without the bonus). anyway, keep up the nice reviews, enjoy yours and Sarah's way more than Sams.
Thanks man. I kinda dig a short album in the genre for a change but I know what ya mean.
So I was right about that "menacing review". good video.
Yaaaa bud.
I have to say this album just kicks ass in so many ways. Giving Shape of Despairs last album a run for my fave album of all time. And the production...oh my amazing.
Personally I would've liked a portal review more.
This album rules, had to pick it up on vinyl!
Just waiting on my vinyl copy to get here!
What about Mammoth Grinder?
Shokugeki rulesss
Hell Yes. this album is amazing. definitely a 5 out of 5. Great review
Thanks brother!
This Hooded Menace is sooooo beautiful!! Can´t stop listening \m/
The outfit changes in this is epic. Also like the fact that the cardboard cutout's got a shirt not seen in this video otherwise.
The fanboy is strong in this one
Great review! I'll check this one out
I gave thumbs up before even watching.
Gave a thumbs up before even reading!
perfect review as always!!!!
Great review! Woah! First try. :D This CD isn't available in the states until February 2. But the mp3s are available.
Love hearing this man! Enjoy.
Blayne knows what's up! Fucking incredible album
Blayne you damn Weeaboo. Lol jk. That Food Wars reference gained you a new sub.
Haha awesome. My secrets are coming out!
This man here!
MY man!
I wonder if Blayne like Hooded Menace at all? You think it would be something he’d listen to?
Nice review as always Blayne! Keep up all the great work.
Devan Kranz Blayne loves hooded menace bro!
Grand Warlock InSinkErator Can you be sure though?
Devan Kranz oooh I see what ur doing
It's one of life's great mysteries.
What I love about death doom like this, is that it sounds like say...Bloodbath smoked a lot of pot and forgot how to play fast. I mean that in the best way possible.
Hahah I read ya loud and clear.
Blayne, you’re the best.
Oh damn this sounds great
That skit with the cutout was pure gold
Never heard of them and I'm speechless. They are bad ass!
"I'm glad I do these things behind a desk." 🤣🤣🤣
;)
Hadn't come across these guys before, nice one.
I'm doing my best to spread the word.
How come one of the members isn’t wearing a hood?
i for one think you would be great in the police
Then the dream is still alive!
Great review of a great album!
Blayne you legend
i swear i were know you are from Finland from your face firstly and your english is finnish english greetings from Helsinki
The New HM is a great album, did you hear about the new Monolithe?
Haven't heard it yet, but it's definitely on my list.
it'll wash the taste of robb flynns mid-life crisis out of your mouth
awesome, funny, and spot on review. Thanks for introducing me to this band through the Lock Horns Death/Doom debate. I'm just getting hip to the genre, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. I'd love to get your take on the latest Desolate Shrine album....maybe check that out for review?

Sorta sounds like if Dismember played Doom. Cool. My interests are peeked
Excellent description !
Piqued :)
Damn, you're good man and get better.
Thanks man, always reading the comments and trying to improve.
Would have loved a Portal review
gsp shoutout. nice
...and a comedians favorite genre is the saddest of all metal... DOOM!
Poor guy Blayne, he must be depressed on the inside :'( Anyways thanks for making us laugh, hang in there buddy! :D
Btw It's so cool that you guys are reviewing albums from lesser known bands as well... not the biggest fan of doom/death but I fairly enjoyed this album, it's full of memorable melodies, sick ass riffs and has an atmosphere I can get lost in... so thanks for the recommendation, lots of
