Review:
HAZEMAZE - BLINDED BY THE WICKED:
The long-awaited successor to the awesome “Hymns of the Damned” is now seeing the light of day in all its sombre glory. More focused, heavier, scarier and more complex than ever. The human abyss is also explored thematically, because “Blinded by the Wicked” is about sects and the malicious intentions of their leaders who corrupt the weakest of the weak. This is top notch doom rock in the tradition of the greats of doom – Black Sabbath, Pentagram and Cathedral.
A masterpiece in both its musical complexity and conceptual depth.
