"Circle of stone" CD by Bayley, Blaze

Blaze Bayley, who was inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame and has recovered from a serious illness, has released a brand new studio album. 'Circle Of Stone' features guest singer Niklas Stalvind from Swedish metalheads Wolf, as well as a number of other guests. After starting his career as a professional singer in 1984 with Wolfsbane, Bayley replaced Bruce Dickinson for two albums with Iron Maiden. He then pursued a solo career, starting with his solo debut album 'Silicon Messiah' in 2000, followed by a total of eleven more studio albums, including his science fiction-based 'Infinite Entanglement' trilogy. In 2021, the critically acclaimed 'War Within Me' was released on his own label. As with all of Blaze Bayley's recent albums, he co-produces with Christopher Appleton and mastering is handled by Ade Emsley (Iron Maiden, Tank, Voodoo Six). The artwork was provided by Akirant Illustration (Iron Maiden, Star Wars).
