BLAZE, the British band led by former IRON MAIDEN/WOLFSBANE

singer Blaze Bayley, have set an April 26 European release date through SPV Records for their third album, “Blood and Belief”.

BLAZE utilized the services of former PITCHSHIFTER drummer Jason Bowld during the recording sessions for follow-up to 2002's “Tenth Dimension”, which took place at Backstage Studios in Derbyshire with producer Andy Sneap. Also recording with the group was bassist Wayne Banks (SABBAT, MESSIAH'S KISS), who has fulfilled most of last year's touring commitments with the band following the departure of Rob Naylor last April.
