It's perhaps bitterly ironic that Finnish new jack old school death dealers Hooded Menace have been getting so much hype (albeit much deserved) when veteran acts like Machetazo, once orthodox high priests of Spain's fetid goregrind underground turned atmospheric worshippers of Impetigo and Necrophagia's old school horror, have missed out completely. On the upside, there're probably a fuck tonne less patch-jacket posers pricks rocking out self-consciously to Machetazo, but they need more respect and hopefully new project Ruinebelle will redistribute some of those kudos.A downtuned duo of Machetazo's Dopi Diablo (ex of Frustradicción and also currently in Dishammer) on vocals and drums, and on bass and guitar, Hooded Menace mainman Lasse Pyykkö (ex of Phlegethon and Vacant Coffin, and current of the equally hyped Acid Witch) are working on their debut 7” for the supercult Doomentia Records. There's no music up yet, but with a pedigree like this you know what you're getting in terms of raw venom and rumbling dread. As for the sound, they promise “apocalyptic, heavy and dark, metallic crust in the vein of Amebix, Axegrinder mixed in a blender with some Voivod and Godflesh.”
