LP version. 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.
