Hellfire II lineup change

Due to the recent tragic loss of their bass player Mike Alexander, Evile will be unable to perform at the upcoming Hellfire Festival. We extend our love and condolences to the friends and family at this difficult time.

Hellfire Festival would like to thank Blaze Bayley for stepping up at short notice to complete the main stage line up on Saturday 7th November.

Blaze Bayley, former vocalist for Wolfsbane and Iron Maiden, has had a long and distinguished musical career thus far. After embarking on a solo career that spawned four successful and critically acclaimed albums under the band name BLAZE, a new line-up of experienced musicians from England, Colombia and New Zealand joined ranks with Blaze. In 2007 the band now known as Blaze Bayley was born. This, his strongest line-up of musicians, features Nico Bermudez (Underthreat) and Jay Walsh (Four Way Kill) on guitars, David Bermudez (Underthreat) on bass and Lawrence Paterson (Chokehold) on drums.

After several international live dates to ‘shake-down’ the new line-up, including festival headliners in Spain, Italy, Russia and Croatia and a UK tour, the new album ‘The Man Who Would Not Die’ was released worldwide on 7 July 2008. The accompanying ‘Tour That Will Not Die’ visited over 20 countries throughout Western and Eastern Europe, The Balkans, South America and Scandinavia during 2009. The band are now recording their second studio album, due for release early 2010. We are very pleased to welcome Blaze Bayley to our stellar Hellfire line up on Sat 7th November.
