Let's rewind the clock a bit. We've covered Brave New World already - but in the immediate aftermath of Bruce Dickinson's return to Iron Maiden, what happened to Blaze Bayley? Well, who better to tell us than the man himself.

Determined to forge onwards, Blaze immediately got to work putting together his solo debut, Silicon Messiah. A slab of heavy and traditional metal, the album has seen a real resurgence in recent years, but how Silicon Messiah received at the time? Blaze Bayley joins us to tell all as we delve right in to it.

A huge thank you to Blaze for joining us and for his management making it happen - it was a real treat for us. You can keep up to date on everything Blaze at BlazeBayley.net
