Metal Hall of Fame inductee, Blaze Bayley, releases a brand new studio album Entitled Circle of Stone. The album features guest vocalist Niklas Stalvind of Swedish metalheads Wolf, alongside a variety of additional vocal & instrumental contributors. Having started his career as a professional singer with Wolfsbane in 1984, Blaze went on to front Iron Maiden, touring worldwide and releasing two studio albums - The X Factor and Virtual XI, both of which achieved top twenty status in many countries. During his time with Iron Maiden, Blaze co-wrote the single Man on the Edge (from The X Factor album), a top ten hit in the UK, as well as charting successfully across Europe. Following his exit from Iron Maiden he has pursued a solo career, beginning with his now legendary solo debut album Silicon Messiah in 2000, followed by a further eleven studio albums, including especially his sci-fi based Infinite Entanglement trilogy (released in consecutive years 2016-2018) and the critically-acclaimed War Within Me released in 2021.
