BLACKDIAMOND of Firebrand Rock Radio and Metal Shock Finland has today conducted an interview with legendary vocalist BLAZE BAYLEY (ex-Iron Maiden) during the recording of new material in a studio in Italy.
METAL SHOCK FINLAND will publish this interview soon, so follow us here and on our official facebook page and stay tuned!

As previously reported, BLAZE BAYLEY is going to release a new album, entitled “The King Of Metal” In March.
“work has now started on my new album. with luck it should be ready at the start of my tour on the 8th of march 2012 in belgium. the new album and the tour are called “the king of metal”. over the many years i have been a professional singer, and through my ups and downs, i have noticed how some artists and bands take their success and their fans for granted. for me there is no heavy metal without heavy metal fans. i am dedicating the new album and tour to my fans and the fans of heavy metal.
it is called “the king of metal” because you the fans are the real kings of metal. each one of you that buys albums and merchandise and tickets to gigs, is a king of metal to me. i will try and keep the ticket prices as low as i can where ever it is possible on this tour. as a thank you to my hardcore loyal fans, the next big bash will be a free all ages show, but under 16s must bring an adult. even though it’s free you will need a ticket. tickets are available at my webshop. please don’t order a ticket unless you are definitely going to the show, because there is only a 300 capacity at the venue. it’s on sunday 20th of may at the public in West Bromwich, England.
yes it is you. each one of you is the king of metal.
in the next year i will be touring in lots of different countries including my first tour of Australia and my first solo tour of canada. i’ll be playing about 100 gigs in venues big and small. i hope to meet you and tell you in person how much i appreciate your support.” Blaze has posted this as his xmas message to his fans.
And also a new line up announced via a post on official page of BLAZE BAYLEY on facebook: “We are very pleased to announce the full line-up for the European Tour. Top musicians Claudio Tirincanti, Andrea Neri, Lehmann and Thomas Zwysen will be joining me onstage!”
