Swedish rock’n’doom merchants Hazemaze present their new album »Blinded By The Wicked«, which will be available this Friday 28th January on Heavy Psych Sounds. Listen to this occult-laden beauty in full exclusively on Cvlt Nation!

“Hazemaze are top-tier purveyors of some of the trippiest, foggiest psychedelic doom.” — Invisible Oranges

“A riff-packed masterpiece equal in astonishing complexity and conceptual fervor.” — Distorted Sound

“It’s got drums that will cave in your skull, riffs that will cover your body like occult rock cement, and vocals to raise your doomed corpse!” — Cvlt Nation

Their third album »Blinded By The Wicked« explores cults and their leaders’ malevolent intentions that corrupt vulnerable people. The band has taken their dark thematics to the next level, delivering their most multifaceted, pulverizing, and groove-infused album to date, describing it as “rock’n’doom”. »Blinded By The Wicked« was recorded by Timmy Ternestål at Studio Ingenstans in their hometown of Strängnäs, and mastered at Studio Humbucker by Robert Pehrsson (Death Breath, Dead Lord, Imperial State Electric).

Hazemaze first stroke in 2016 with their 70s hard rock-oriented debut EP »Wicked Ways«. Two years later, the band released their self-titled debut on Kozmik Artifactz, stirring an overwhelmingly positive response from every corner of the stoner/doom scene. The band later signed to Ripple Music and Cursed Tongue Records for the release of their heavier and darker sophomore full-length »Hymns Of The Damned« in 2019. 2021 will be the next step in their ascend to the stars, as Hazemaze just signed a worldwide deal to Heavy Psych Sounds for the release of their third studio album »Blinded By The Wicked« in the winter of 2022.

As the pandemic progressed and the world got darker, so did Hazemaze’s songwriting. Their third album »Blinded By The Wicked« explores cults and their leaders’ malevolent intentions that corrupt vulnerable people. The band has taken their dark thematics to the next level, delivering a more mature, diverse and groove-infused album to date, describing it as “rock’n’doom”. The album was recorded by Timmy Ternestål at Studio Ingenstans in their hometown of Strängnäs and mastered at Studio Humbucker by Robert Pehrsson (Death Breath, Dead Lord, Imperial State Electric).
