Description
Still sealed with slipcase
“Endure And Survive”, the ninth album of Blaze’s solo career, and its the second in the “Infinite Entanglement” trilogy which follows a sci-fi concept and storyline. Bayley says about “Endure And Survive”: “The trilogy started last year with ‘Infinite Entanglement’, which is the story of someone being selected for a mission to go right across the galaxy to a new earth-like planet discovered by telescope. He discovers that he’s not actually in a tight-fitting spacesuit, but his consciousness has been downloaded into a machine body. He only discovers that when he’s on the mission. Then he has to decide, ‘Well, I think like a human. I feel like a human, but I have no flesh and blood. Am I human?’ And, it’s a question of identity and going to a new place with no regrets and no past, but leaving behind everything that you know and consider to be home and knowing it’s a one-way journey. On part two, ‘Endure And Survive’, it is the end of this mission. It takes a thousand years to get to the new earth-like planet; there is no faster-than-light travel, so he has to ‘endure’ this journey of a thousand years. As he gets close to the planet, he starts to realize that he was never meant to get there. The ship’s computer and the ship itself are programmed to get rid of him, to throw him out into space, to treat him like a piece of junk. Now, his mission is accomplished, his DNA is never supposed to reach that point. And that is the ‘survival’ part. He has to survive this attempt on his life, the attempt to obliterate him, to destroy him. That’s why it’s ‘Endure And Survive’. “This second album is much darker, but it also has songs like ‘Fight Back’, which is about out of sheer spite, not giving in. You know they want to get rid of you and you’re just hanging on for sheer spite. ‘Dawn Of The Dead Son’ is about coming back from it, making a decision in your own mind that you will not let go. That you will not give up, no matter what, as the drowning man, you refuse to drown. That’s what it’s about.
