Blaze Bayley - Promise and Terror

Has anyone picked up his new album? I got it 2 weeks ago and I have to tell you he is still on a roll. I dont think this album sounds anything like his last album, there is a distinct change in direction, but still very much remains Blaze. Yet another fantastic album, I highly recommend you check it out. What is nice is they sign all the albums too when you order form their site.

If you got it, what are your thoughts?

This album is right at the top of my want list! I loved his last one!

If you loved his last one, this one is imo very different. It seems more darker, maybe not as heavy, and possibly a bit bland....now I know that all sounds bad but it is the mood it gives. I honestly love the album as much as the last one, it is just such a difference, which I think is good, I dont need a repeat. Prior to the new band I felt Blaze was a bit similar each release. Seems like this new band doesnt want to repeat themselves and man can they pull of some great song writing. Go in expecting something new. Like any good album it takes time to reveal itself, and this one does each spin. Simply fantastic!

Thanks, man! I am definitely looking forward to it!

Which band to you play for?

I believe he is still in Once Dead? Are you also in Hirax?

Hirax...

Awesome, show Blaze how it's done.

Ohhh now I will get this from his website instead of Amazon! Thanks for mentioning it Mez!!

I just found out that its too late to get a signed copy but they do have cool patches and stuff there I might consider getting

So, who's got this new BB disc so far and how is it?

After a month...

I still think the Trace of Things That Have No Words is the best song Blaze ever recorded.

It's gonna cost me well over $20 to get this CD, but I'm sure it'll be well worth it!

I got this disc and love it so far! 9/10 in-progress.

I won a copy on ebay, but I'm still waiting it's arrival. It's coming from the UK and taking forever.

Why are these on such limited release?

A little late but 7thSaviour, to answer your question it is very good, it is along the lines of his previous album but it just feel s a bit darker, and with good reason since this was written after his wife died. I still think it is a great album but the energy doesnt hit at the peak like the last one does. I give this one a 9 out of 10, where his Man Who Would Not Die I give an 11 out of 10.

Nazgul, I am not sure they are limited releases, but Blaze I think only releases these via his website and any online distributor or otherwise is probably paying the same that we would and then charging more for it to make some gain. Go to his site and order it up! You'll love it!

Completely agreed and totally understood.
