I remember two pictures of Toronto, Canada vocalist Leanne Haze in local entertainment papers in the early 90's...She was quite a sight in her alluring witch garb. They said her music was Wiccan Hard Rock and that she did Celtic Folk as well, I was intrigued. Eventually I found this CD in a used store, probably already out of print. Initially she seemed poised for success, her band HAZE creating a buzz in the industry-laden music scene of the big blue mean city. Wiccan Rock had potential for popularity at the time, but of course it never happened. Perhaps the style on this debut album was still too embedded in the 80's Hard Rock/Heavy Metal sound to make an impact in the 90's. The only other album I've found by HAZE is a single/EP featuring the song "Tom Dooley" and titled the same - being in a completely different style, kind of dark electronic Rock like a heavier Portishead. Surprised to find she has a Myspace site, for all intents and purposes she seemed to have disappeared completely after searching the net in the 90's and early 2000's. She says little about her releases as HAZE and provides no album cover shots, her musical associates opting for the same. I'll be providing a scan of my beaten up CD insert as soon as I can...Scanner glitch lol.
UPDATE November 6th, 2011 : Re-posted! Artwork d/l link is now included in the .rar file and front cover artwork is above. Yes, it's more than a little beat up, I used to carry this around in my pocket because of the symbol you can see in the image. Why? A nefarious cult called The Wizards of Choo were after my wooden ass. And if you'll believe that, you'll believe anything. The entire packaging content has been scanned and formatted in as high-quality as possible.
