Over the last 25 years Bob Catley has established a reputation as one of Britain’s top vocalists with his work in Magnum and more recently as a solo artist. In 1998, Bob teamed up with Ten front man, and longstanding Magnum fan, Gary Hughes who wrote all the songs on his first three solo albums: The Tower, Legends and Middle Earth. These albums received not only critical but commercial successes. This reaction from the press summed up the exact aim of these releases perfectly. After three albums together and so many other commitments on both sides it was decided that long time keyboard player, Paul Hodson, would write Bob’s fourth solo album. The style of Paul`s writing complemented the master’s voice and with an added edge of classic Dio-esque metal, When Empires Burn brought Bob’s music to a metal oriented audience as well as pleasing the existing fan base.
