It came out the fifth of July, and it’s called Genius. All original members from that first album, Live Fast Die Fast, and it’s turned out great. The other thing that we have going on, at the end of the lockdown, we managed to get together in Wolfsbane and do a brand-new Wolfsbane album.
My hardcore Blaze Bayley fans say it’s probably the best album that I’ve done in my solo career – and I’ve got, I think, eleven albums now. My headline shows are all to do with my War Within Me album, which came out a couple of years ago now. So, we started doing this a few years ago, and people kept asking for it. It’s my version of my songs from X-Factor and Virtual XI, a lot of the songs, people have never heard them live when I was in Iron Maiden because we didn’t perform them, or they just weren’t into Maiden at the time and they’ve come to Maiden afterward, and they’re interested to hear them sung with the original voice from the record. These ones are with the Iron Maiden Anniversary setlist, which we’ve been requested to do. We’ve got the Daun Festival coming up, a couple of U.K. What’s the latest? I know you’re in the midst of touring and have four more shows to close out the month of July. Thanks for setting aside some time to chat with me today, Blaze. My recent interview with Blaze, who joined me via Zoom, covered several topics, including the blueprint behind his most recent solo album War Within Me, the pronounced element of authenticity behind his songwriting, the evolution of his vocal approach over time, and his five-year tenure as the voice of Iron Maiden.
Since departing from Iron Maiden in 1999, Bayley has enjoyed steady success with his solo career, releasing ten studio albums to date, including his latest, War Within Me.Įven in the face of incessant demand, Bayley prefers to play intimately these days, dedicating himself wholeheartedly to his steadfast audience, who have entrusted the earnest frontman with the responsibility of continually delivering engaging, heartfelt, and blistering performances no matter the circumstance. In the nearly four decades since co-founding multifaceted English rock act Wolfsbane, Bayley has traveled the world, performing in venues both large and small, including some of the grandest stages with heavy metal giants, Iron Maiden.
