Blaze (Bayley)

Just listened to the new album, hate to say it but this is what I wish Iron Maiden sounded like now. Blaze definately stepped up, he may never be Bruce Dickinson, but who cares, he definately earned a fan with his latest album "The Man Who Would Not Die".

I think Blaze really got all the credit and praise for his solo works that he deserved. I can see why many hated him in Iron Maiden, yes I do love the albums he's featured on but there's not many Bruce songs he really shows off with. For me Blaze has always been one of the favourites and keeps on pleasing me.

Just heard the new album. Awesome. Blaze is totally underrated. I loved his work with Maiden and he also sounded great on Wolfsbane.

Welcome 2020!
Having said goodbye to another year and in thanking you for all the wonderful support, we also take this opportunity to welcome you to 2020. Firstly, we wish you a very happy and healthy new year, and next take a moment to tell you about our plans for this year and a little further.

Live in Czech
As you know, in April we release 'Live in Czech' which is the concluding piece of the 'Infinite Entanglement' trilogy, featuring the setlist played on the 'Tour of the Eagle Spirit', including some of the more epic tracks like 'Eagle Spirit' and 'Together We Can Move the Sun'. Thank you so much to all of you that have pre-ordered 'Live in Czech' so far.

New full metal studio album
Apart from our Brazil Tour this month, Burr Fest in March and summer festivals, we will concentrate on song-writing for a brand new full metal album planned for release in March 2021. As you can see below, Blaze and Chris have already started and early reports from Blaze are that the results so far are very exciting.

Tenth Dimension
So, what's happening in the later part of 2020? We're thrilled to say that in September we plan to re-issue the 'Tenth Dimension' album which will be re-packaged with upgraded artwork and we'll also release for the first time a vinyl version. In many ways that album is a prequel to the trilogy and so it's interesting to explore that more deeply.

To go with that re-issue we are soon to announce a European Tour for September-October, and a UK Tour for November, both featuring a 'Tenth Dimension' setlist.

So, that gives you a clear idea of where we're heading with our plans for 2020-2021....

April 2020 : 'Live in Czech' CD and DVD

September 2020 : 'Tenth Dimension' CD re-issue and vinyl LP

March 2021 : new full metal studio album

Thank you once again for making all this even possible. We'll bring you more news as soon as we can.

Blaze and Absolva canceled Spanish shows

We are extremely disappointed to confirm that our 5 Spanish shows set for April 2022 have been cancelled due to matters outside our control. All tickets purchased will be automatically returned without the need to carry out any procedure. We sincerely apologise to all who had bought tickets & were looking forward to the shows as much as we were.
In better news we are proud to announce that we are added to the line-up on 25th June as part of the Rock Imperium Festival with a special Iron Maiden set.

Updates from Blaze Bayley

ANNOUNCEMENT
I have decided to stop doing free & included meet & greets & signing at my headline shows.
This is a massive decision for me to take, mainly to protect my health following my open-heart surgery after a near fatal heart attack. But also, I feel I must protect my health as much as possible, prioritising my energy, focus & voice for the performances at shows where the highest standards are my aim.

A further reason is the disappointment of seeing signed items appearing the very next day for sale on ebay & other auction sites after the meet & greets. This is in no-one’s best interests. So, there will be no signings in the foreseeable future.

If you see me out & about & would like a selfie, that’s fine. Just say hello & get your phone or camera ready. That isn’t changing.
After 25 years this is a massive decision for me to take. You are my inspiration and my comfort, my warriors & my friends & together we have moved the sun. I thank you so much for all your help & support over the years, & thank you in advance for understanding this very difficult decision.
