"Silicon Messiah" was heavy metal band Blaze Bayley's first album, and along with their last one generally considered to be their finest. The album was released on 22 May 2000, a little over a week before Iron Maiden's "Brave New World"'s release, which was probably one of the reasons it did not sell as well as some reviewers said it should have. The South American and Japanese versions of the album included a few bonus songs ("Motherfuckers R Us", "Steel" and "Interactive Track" (SA) and "The Day I Fell to Earth" (SA and Japan). The cover artwork on the album features a number of images of people with their skin coloured blue and covered with what looks like computer circuitry.
