BLAZE BAYLEY – Infinite Entanglement Album Artwork Revealed; Christmas Video Message Streaming

Former Iron Maiden vocalist Blaze Bayley has revealed the artwork for his eighth solo album, Infinite Entanglement. Writing began on the science fiction concept album in March 2015, and the album will be released on March 1st, 2016.

Blaze: “I’ve always had a strong interest in science and cosmology and A.I. and those subjects have featured in a lot of my songs on past albums. Now I’m taking this to the next level by having a complete concept album set 100 years into the future. This is a story that follows on from the ideas and songs I had on my first two solo albums, Silicon Messiah and Tenth Dimension. I’m really excited about being able to have some of my fans involved so much at this stage of the process. There are always struggles, great moments, little bits of magic and some kind of crisis that happens during the process of making every one of my albums so far. I’m sure this one will be no different. I can’t wait to share these moments with the fans. I want to say a massive thank you to all my fans. Your support has made it possible for me to be independent and to continue making music. Now I will attempt make the best record I have ever made.”

Check out a Rock-Radio UK interview with Blaze below conducted back in November, where he discusses his plans for the new album.
