Harris comments: “We just had a brilliant time on the January U.K. tour and it’s great to be heading out again in 2023. I’m really looking forward to both summer tours this year,” referencing the fact that MAIDEN will be on the road at the same time.

The LP was recorded, engineered and mixed at Barnyard Studios by Tony Newton and produced by Steve Harris.
