Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Silicon Messiah' is the debut of Blaze, the band Blaze Bayley formed after his departure from Iron Maiden, and a document of British heavy metal in its traditional form. Produced by Andy Sneap, its riff-driven arrangements carry a science-fiction narrative, the opening three songs forming a trilogy about a man's soul trapped inside a machine.
