"Burning Wind Away" is the CD of the month June 2021 on The Swamp Records. It is the debut album by J Blaise Gans and Mathew Doeckel, also know as Texan Doom duo Blaise the Seeker. Under the pseudonym Guided Meditation Doomjazz, Blaise the Seeker is well-known for their extraordinary social media content. Check the links on the bottom of the post to experience more. With their encouraging, empowering, mesmerizing content, Blaise the Seeker are definitely more than just a band. Behind this Doom and Sludge band there is versatile fictional character mirroring our society with all its flaws, chasms, and all its beauty.


Focussing on the music, "Burning Wind Away" is a ten-track collection of anthemic, somewhat melodic, and atmospheric Sludge and Doom Metal sounds. Between heavily rolling drums rhythms and a cold Post Metal air, the crunchy and fuzzy riffs roar like massive thunder. The vocals throne above this intense tempest of apocalyptic sound like an eschatologic sermon - one could compare them to the Attila era of Mayhem, only more melodic.
"Burning Wind Away" is a thrilling Doom and Sludge album that is defined by various themes and inner coherence. Blaise the Seeker have created a sound that stands out of the mass of Doom Metal acts.
