Biography
Blaze (1999-2007)
Following Blaze Bayley’s departure from Iron Maiden in 1999, he formed his own band, Blaze, in March that year. Bayley recruited guitarist Steve Wray, guitarist John Slater, bassist Rob Naylor, and drummer Jeff Singer, and signed a deal with German label SPV, releasing the band’s debut studio album in 2000, Silicon Messiah. The album was followed up by Tenth Dimension in 2002 and the band’s first live album in 2003, As Live As It Gets.
After recording the live album, Jeff Singer announced he was leaving the band. Three months later, Rob Naylor was also leaving. Session drummer Phil Greenhouse and bassist Wayne Banks were hired for the rest of the Tenth Dimension tour until permanent replacements could be found. Guitarist Jason Banks was drafted in for a few gigs at the end of 2003 to cover for John Slater.
At the end of 2003, Blaze began writing material for their third studio album, Blood & Belief. Phil Greenhouse was replaced on drums by Jason Bowld for recording and Dave Knight for touring.

- And Blaze decided to release them under his own name. He owns the rights and he paid for the recordings.

He looks and sounds like Bane from the new Batman.

@CrionicImpaler and that isn't completely cringey, cheesy and condescending to said fans? Blaze seems to be limited to the same topic of being hard done by and everyone being against him. This album is lyrically a rehashed pastiche of his previous works and musically it isn't worth mentioning.

CrionicImpaler
Production is weak, too.

CrionicImpaler
New album is average, imo. @Twiggy3 The name 'King of Metal' is dedicated to the fans, Blaze never said he's the real king of metal.

The new album is cool but left to be desired in terms of production ... was a bit weak ... and does not sound very Blaze Bayley

The new album in NO WAY sucks. Compare it to any other traditional heavy metal album that's coming out these days. King of Metal towers over 90% of its competitors today.
