Guitarist Lasse Pyykkö comments on the new album and track: "It is with utter excitement that we premiere the first track off our new album “The Tritonus Bell”! There’re definitely some new flavours added to the mix, and “Blood Ornaments” comes with some of our most intriguing ingredients yet - and a bloody side taste. There’s a contrast between death/doom misery and head-bangable heavy metal riffs like never heard before in Hooded Menace´s music, making “Blood Ornaments” my favourite track from the album. Obviously a lot of inspiration for “The Tritonus Bell” comes from the usual suspects Candlemass, Paradise Lost, and Trouble, but also classic 80´s heavy metal such as Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Dio, and Ozzy Osbourne. Even if you can’t always put your finger on it, they all definitely played a big role in why “The Tritonus Bell” turned out the way it did. When it comes to mixing and mastering, we had the pleasure of working with King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque/Sonic Train Studios, who made sure everything would sound great, and I can honestly say I’ve never been more satisfied with the results sound- and music-wise."
Killer! Would love Hooded Menace to tour with Paradise Lost (and indirectly encourage PL to stop shying away from acknowledging and playing Lost Paradise tracks live!). Bring on the new HM! 🤘🏾
You can definitely hear the 80's metal influences on this track. Almost Sabbath like riffs, I actually think it would have totally mind-blowing if Ozzy did some vocals on the chorus for this track! 🤘
Seitan! On kyllä kova kun keskitempoa lasetellaan piiiiiiiiiitkästä aikaa.Laulu,soolot,kompit ehottomasti tuotanto.Elämissämme on siis tarkoitus ja valo näkyy jo.
New stuff, new tendency on death metal? This is like if candlemass choose a heavy metal band with who could make something tenebrous adding the classic Hooded Menace death metal riffs and growls. AMAZING AND INTERESTING!!!
Been listening to these Doomheads for quite sometime now, and I can firmly say that they absolutely aged like fine wine. Their music has only ever got better since Fulfill the Curse; of course, it was a good record and it had some great moments, but it still sounds somewhat generic and not as original compared to what you can hear on Never Cross the Dead, Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed (which still seems to me like it was released just a couple months ago) and this new bad boy of a track
Btw, the riff at the beginning actually sounds more like current Darkthrone than anything straight from the 80s. not complaining, tho, i love Darkthrone
And don't worry, if you like the song in general, you are probably gonna like the vocals, it will just take some time (if you already didn't get used to)

Sounds like Mercyful Fate and (very old) Anathema procreating in a temple underneath the netherworld. Good job.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard Anathema in this! It also made me think a bit of early Amorphis.
New Hooded Menace to start my work day? It’s all downhill from here! But this shit is going on repeat immediately.
Yup, saw the notification as I was sitting down at my desk. Coffee no longer required.
Lol same here, the first song of the day.
6:52 Paradise Lost "Gothic"/"Shades Of God" era-esque GORGEOUSNESS!
Thank you , i am not alone thinking that
«Shades of God» was what I was thinking too 👍
I hear Entombed as well
This band is pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sounds good. Sweet riffs and decent skull bell church tolling on the arts.
Power and slowness, perfect. 🤘💀🤘
Oh, sweet! Ossuarium... was an excellent album and this first taste of the new one has me salivating!
The opening riffs sound like something Andy LaRocque would have written.
Massive track and cool artwork. Looking forward for the album.
the album of 2021.
Love those sweet King Diamond riffs. A great addition to the usual doom goodness!
Well worth the wait! Sounds new and exciting. Can’t wait for the full album!
You can definitely hear the 80's metal influences on this track. Almost Sabbath like riffs, I actually think it would have totally mind-blowing if Ozzy did some vocals on the chorus for this track! 🤘
I was thinking more along the lines of King Diamond
@@crashman27 Yeah, the King Diamond influence on this track is unmistakable.
By the power of Grayskull
Miss the old vocals... Music is great as per usual.
Hell of a song! Pleasant surprise a new album is just right around the corner.
First ik thought a New Jpriest Song, but when the vocals came, 😇😅
did not expect new influences, but neat addition. however, I live for moments like the outro of this song from this band... chefs kiss.
That outro is absolutely fucking sick dude. My fav HM track so far
It sounds like good death metal from 90's 🤘❤️
Killer track! That 80s vibe threw me for a sec but it fits the track as a whole. Great stuff.
Perfect song. Can’t wait for the album.
Fav track of 2021. What a banger!!
These riffs sound like a blast to play
Agreed! Can’t wait to learn them
Had to make sure I hadn't started some King Diamond track 🔥
Yeah it starts like sleepless nights or an Ozzy song.
Incredible song Wow
i wish i had a giant skull to ring as a dinner bell every time my kids went outside to play
That... Was amazing! So stoked
Seitan! On kyllä kova kun keskitempoa lasetellaan piiiiiiiiiitkästä aikaa.Laulu,soolot,kompit ehottomasti tuotanto.Elämissämme on siis tarkoitus ja valo näkyy jo.
enjoyment to my ears
I do love the artwork already!
Wes Benscoter is the fucking man for metal album art
This is a monster of a track.
Fuck yeah the Skelator Bell album!!
Sweet track! The old-school groove adds a lot to the band's heaviness.
Fantastic and dismal as usual..
+ that looks like Wes Benscoter artwork, can't wait for the record!!
Ah yeah,all in.
Great song guys !!!!
the album art is amazing
HELL YESSSS!!!
ALL HAIL THE HOOOD!!!
Обалденный должен получиться альбом , слушаю третий трек и опять восторге !

Thanks for the great song. 🤘🏾🇧🇷🤘🏾
that riff at the 6 minute mark hits like a truck!
Awesome track!! Featuring this on the show Wednesday \m/
Sounds good!!
Fucking awesome...!!
Amorphis old school
Awesome riffing! Heavy , thrash doom metal all way, very Nice blended
Ordered
Miss lasse’s vocals, still sick track
OMFG! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Is Blayne from BangerTV here?! You hearing this shit?
I bet he is has been reduced to a catatonic state and is just endlessly mumbling "hooded menace...hooded menace... and hey .. hooded menace"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DAAAAAAAMNNNNNN YEEEEEEEEES
Perfect!!
well holy fucking shit
Una joya del Death Metal
Wish Lasse would go back to doing the vocals. Music is great though!
New stuff, new tendency on death metal? This is like if candlemass choose a heavy metal band with who could make something tenebrous adding the classic Hooded Menace death metal riffs and growls.
AMAZING AND INTERESTING!!!

Best Hooded Menace song so far!
This rules!
don't mind me.
just leaving a fresh comment
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nice vocals
Good shit! \m/
Certain King Diamond meets Crüe (Girls Girls Girls) feel to some of this...
Is this sweet child o mine?????????1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1!1!1
Nice!
Yes!
Sweet
🤘👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹🤘💯 Doom Death Metalowej mocarnej potężnej zacnej genialnej kapitalnej muzy super
Bestia
7:22
Weird band name for an astonishing sound
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Btw, the riff at the beginning actually sounds more like current Darkthrone than anything straight from the 80s.
not complaining, tho, i love Darkthrone
Even so, current Darkthrone worship the 80s
I'm hearing a lot of Ride the Lightning influence here. Those thrash riffs were a pleasant break from their typical style.
U lost me....not that you care but...jawohl...
Love the music but I'm not into the vocals, maybe they will grow on me!
Try picturing the mummified corpses of the Knights Templar from the Blind Dead movies doing the sepulchral singing...
The more I listen to this, I really appreciate the whole dynamics of Hooded Menace, the vocals are not that bad, kinda reminds me of Entombed!
@@derekturner6995 now that I think about it, it quite remembers me LG Petrov (RIP) 🤔
And don't worry, if you like the song in general, you are probably gonna like the vocals, it will just take some time (if you already didn't get used to)
