Blaze Bayley - The Man Who Would Not DieBlaze Bayley - The Man Who Would Not Die

Blaze Bayley, The Man Who Would Not Die, is his 4th album, and a return to form for the ex Iron Maiden Front man, which he will probably be stuck with till the day he dies.

The album kicks of loud, fast and heavy, at 4 and a half minutes it seems longer than it is, and it seems that this title track, is about him really, as he just wont go away and die.This album seems to have been produced by the man himself and has done a bang up job, After sacking his band in 2004, or is it sacking himself from his band and just taking the name with him, his new band that joined him in 2007 are on the ball with this album, the guitars are heavy, the drums and bass sound great. The guitar riffs are memorable at times but heavy as hell too, a rare combination.This is a proper heavy metal album, shame he couldn't have produced something like this back when he was with iron maiden.The tone of the album is a pretty dark affair. Album Highlights are opener 'The Man Who Would Not Die', 'Smile Back At Death', 'At The End Of The Day' and epic closer 'Serpent Hearted Man'. This album will appeal to iron maiden fans or fans of British heavy metal. Its a good return to form and deserves repeat plays.

Blaze Bayley, The Man Who Would Not Die, is out to buy now all good record stores.

4/5
