The tour will roll into Ireland’s Opium venue in Dublin on Friday 13th September, and Belfast’s Limelight on Saturday 14th September, 2024, where he and his band will be performing hits from his time in Iron Maiden, as well tracks from ‘Circle of Stone‘ and his solo discography.
The recording of the new album was completed in March 2023 just two days before Blaze suffered a heart attack, needing life-saving bypass surgery. The album was held in abeyance whilst Blaze recovered.
As well as his regular team from British melodic metal band Absolva (Chris Appleton on lead guitar, Luke Appleton on power guitar, Martin McNee on drums, Karl Schramm on bass), Blaze called upon a fascinating mix of collaborators…
Niklas Stalvind (from Swedish metal band, Wolf) – guest vocals on ‘Circle of Stone’, ‘Call of the Ancestors’ & ‘A Day of Reckoning’
Talented singer Tammy-Rae Bois, from South Wales (UK), who duets with Blaze on ‘Until We Meet Again’.
Gifted Dutch violinist, Anne Bakker who plays on ‘Rage’ & ‘Until We Meet Again’
Last but not least Vicky Kennerley, from the West Midlands (UK), adds the spectacular and unmistakable bag pipes featured on, ‘Call of the Ancestors’.
Chris Appleton mixed the record, & co-produced with Blaze. Pre-order your copy here.
Blaze and the band are touring Europe-wide, weaving between Circle of Stone tour dates and 30th Anniversary shows, celebrating 30 years since he joined Iron Maiden.
