LP version. Blood red vinyl. 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.
