In the year of the pandemic, Hazemaze decided to put their efforts towards writing a new record. As the year progressed and the world got darker, so did the band's songwriting. For this record, Hazemaze wanted to continue to follow the same dark thematic approach as their previous release, but even more sinister and complex. Blinded By The Wicked explores cults and their leaders' malevolent intentions that corrupted the weak minded. For this record, we worked together with the band's longtime friend Timmy Ternestål at Studio Ingenstans in our hometown of Strängnäs. Hazemaze had the good fortune to develop a more mature sound, and explore new elements. The record was later mastered at Studio Humbucker by the eminent Robert Pehrsson (Death Breath, Dead Lord, Imperial State Electric). Hazemaze believe that they have created something mature, diverse, and sabbathic and this record is showcasing it. A mixture between traditional doom metal and heavy rock; rock n' doom to be precise!

Reissue, originally released in 2018. The Stockholm trio's eponymous full-length is just about as good as it gets for all the groove it's giving. As the record spins, its hypnotic gaze takes us back through the maze of time, surrounding you in the electrically charged haze of the feel-good era. It sounds for all the world like this could be a contemporary of Ozzy and the boys, though it never condescends to full-on Sabbath worship. No, Hazemaze has found their own way, niching somewhere between the early styles of doom that manifested on both sides of the Atlantic, though I hasten to add "slow, blues-infused hard rock" might be a better descriptor than straight-up "heavy metal." That is, unless this exciting release had come out in the seventies. Back then, it would have been considered the epitome of heavy metal, just as Zeppelin and Priest were in teenage years. Capturing this authentic a sound and making it so alive, so vibrant, so now -- well, that is no small feat. Truly, a standout album, especially if you're as diehard a fan of old school doom as I am. Fresh artistry is fully on display all over Hazemaze. Give any one of these tracks a spin and you'll see, though you should be warned (in the words of "Black Mamba II"): "One bite and then you are gone." Hazemaze self-titled debut album was recorded in the winter of 2017 in Falun and was engineered by Timmy Ternestål. It was later released in early 2018. This issue features new, reimagined artwork.

Hymns Of The Damned is the follow-up to Hazemaze's acclaimed self-titled debut. Opens with "Shadow In The Night" with its steady kick drum intro that recalls Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". The next track "Morbid Lust" comes and goes, its loud, it rocks but you'd struggle to remember it as it does sound, for the most part, rather interchangeable with other stoner/doom bands currently doing the rounds. "Thrill Seeker" is better, with a sound that would suggest that Hazemaze have been listening to The Cramps, what with the swampy dark sound it conjures. Any band that takes its cues from the psychobilly legends suggests they have an excellent taste in music if nothing else. The albums longest track is "Solicitor Of Evil", (kind of ironic when you think about it, to any Americans reading this, solicitor means lawyer in the UK) and chugs along at nearly seven interminable minutes. The track "Green River" has some nice Nebula influences.
