Bayley, Blaze

»The Redemeption of William Black« is a solid album, but like its predecessors it leaves a bitter aftertaste: it could have been a whole lot better.

On Wednesday night, as part of Orto fest, Blaze Bayley (ex-Iron Maiden) proved he wasn't picked to replace Bruce Dickinson by accident. And so the stage wouldn't go to waste, Postojna's Vigilance turned in another excellent show of their…

The day before stopping in Ljubljana, Blaze Bayley and his regular crew of backing musicians — Chris Appleton (guitar), Martin McNee (drums) and Karl Schramm (bass), who otherwise "do business" as three quarters of the band Absolva — turned…

»Endure And Survive« is an even better album than the first part of the former Iron Maiden singer's sci-fi concept trilogy "Infinte Entanglement".

The veteran heavyweight metal fighter's new marathon tour is all about promoting the new studio album »Infinite Entanglement«. Our good old friend Blaze Bayley is back in a small town just across the Slovenian border, Gradisca d'Isonzo,…

Given the creative bankruptcy and heartfelt emptiness of its predecessor, which is anything but an album worthy of the title »The King of Metal«, "Infinte Entanglement" fixes the taste in a lot of ways and puts Bayley back on…

A retrospective look back at the first 30 years of Blaze Bayley's career. It's been quite a journey: from Wolfsbane to Iron Maiden, on to his own band Blaze, and finally to life as a solo artist.

Blaze Bayley isn't just a familiar face to us, we can pretty much call him an old friend. This time he held his "classic metal requiem mass" a stone's throw from the Slovenian-Italian border, in the little town of Gradisca d'Isonzo!

»The King Of Metal« is an album that fails to impress. It's a middling follow-up in Bayley's run of low-budget input and low-budget payoff (sadly).

Cranky, motor-mouthed uncle Blaze Bayley dropped in on the Croatian capital, drove 250 fervent Iron Maiden fans wild and presented his new studio album "The King Of Metal" (2102)!

Blaze Bayley wanted to storm the Gala hala as the King of Metal, but he only made it to the first step of the throne.

A good hour and a half of cruising through the career of a charismatic frontman warmed Pekarna up to working temperature, but it's worrying that Bayley's curve started bending downward in 2012.

Four years of a "break" brought a ton of freshness and creative hunger, and with it Blaze Bayley not only found himself again but delivered, out of his four studio albums, the best record of his career so far

Promise And Terror doesn't show any noticeable creative departure, but it keeps the high quality of its predecessor and Blaze Bayley's one-of-a-kind expressive face. The best thing you can inherit from NWOBHM today!

A chat with the legendary Blaze Bayley before his show at Kompleks in Slovenia's Koroška region. His deep faith in metal, his respect for his fans and his sober, down-to-earth take on life and pretty much everything else shine through.

I have to admit I was pretty surprised to hear that Blaze Bayley, best known as the former singer of Iron Maiden and Wolfsbane, was planning to put out a double live album after just his first two studio records, "Silicon Messiah" (2000)…
