Description

Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover

2018 release, the 10th solo album from Blaze Bayley, formerly the front man for Iron Maiden from 1994-99. The Redemption Of William Black is the third and final part of Blaze Bayley’s trilogy of albums titled, Infinite Entanglement. The first two records were hailed as a big success, receiving a lot of praise from many music journalists and fans alike. Each record brought something new to the concept and the third in the series is no different. This concept album is interesting (though it helps to have the album booklet), the songs are varied but never get overly long or dull and the story itself is always moving forward. Once again, the guitars are handled by the excellent Chris Appleton. This guy is a lightning fast guitarist who knows when to slow things down and utilise presence over speed and power. It is a mighty gift to have. He is accompanied by the solid rhythmic duo of Karl Schramm and Martin McNee. Both of which put on a great performance. Through out the album you will hear female vocalists in either a duet or backing vocals. It is a nice contrast to Bayley’s very powerful vocal style and is something I would love to hear more of on future albums. There is also a nice guest slot for WWE superstar and Fozzy front man Chris Jericho as well as Iced Earth’s Luke Appleton. In terms of song writing, I like how each track has been crafted. Each song has been very well paced, they all do their specific thing with some nice uses of guitar and backing rhythm. Some of the songs are considerably shorter than others but for the lack of any real lengthy numbers normally found on a concept album, it helps the album continuously build up momentum until the eventual ending occurs on the epic nine minute long, Eagle Spirit. When it comes down to the sound and overall quality of the record, it is very much just as good as its two predecessors. The sound through out the albums is very consistent, this means that playing each album back to back will be a very smooth transition and one I look forward to doing in the future. To put this plain and simple, this album is fantastic. The trilogy in itself is fantastic and at this point, it is safe to say that Blaze Bayley has created a modern classic in these three albums. When the biggest (apparently best) metal bands in the world take three or more years to put out an album of the same tired nonsense, it really shows the passion, conviction and energy that has been put into this album and the two before it.
