15/4/08: BLAZE IS SURFING WITH THE ALIEN

He will be justifiably tired of always being presented as the former voice of Iron Maiden, as the X Factor of a band that abandoned him within a few years. He, who previously with Wolfsbane and then with his solo career he has always been an artist ready to throw his heart over the hurdle. A symbol of the British working class, Blaze Bayley returns to Italy with his band! He returns to promote the release of The Man That Would Never Die, the British frontman's fourth studio album as he grapples with his post-Iron Maiden career. After recording two studio albums with Maiden and two world tours with the most famous metal band on the planet, Blaze focused on his solo career, which took him four times into the studio for as many critically and commercially successful albums, followed by a double live album and DVD Alive in Poland filmed at the end of last year. The new album, The Man That Would Never Die, will be released worldwide before the summer and the release will be followed by a world tour that will take him to the four corners of the globe. Those who have already seen Blaze Bayley perform live know that his shows are a whirlwind of pure energy that is hard to resist. This one in Milan, opening for the guitar alien Joe Satriani will be a very pleasant preview of the tour that will start in July in South America. Stay tuned... you wouldn't like to die!!!
