BLAZE Hard At Work On New Material

BLAZE frontman Blaze Bayley (ex-IRON MAIDEN, WOLFSBANE) has posted the following message on the group's official web site:

"I am staying here in a secure location in Italy near Lake Como. Oli [Oliver Palotai, guitar] and Luca [Priciotta, guitar] and myself are working on all the songs for the next album. So far everything feels absolutely great! I can't give you any titles of songs becuase nothing is finished yet. But a couple of working titles are 'Oli's Desert Doom' and 'Luca's Bumpy Road Chuggy to Hell'.

"Can't wait to see you all in December. Hope we will have a new song ready to play for you."
