Stairway is pleased to announce the release of their 5th studio album "INTERREGNUM".
Stairway can be heard at their very best on this brand new album: from the solid compositions, through to the powerful solid drumming of Andy Edwards, the rip roaring guitars of Pete Jennens, pumping bass lines and the soaring velvet tones of vocalist Graeme Leslie. Here you have a modern classic Hard Rock album that never ceases to please, combining the brilliance of Iron Maiden with the vocal mastery of Queen and sees the band evolving with every note, every song and every lyric. Coupled with artwork by world renowned artist Rodney Matthews, (Magnum, Asia) Interregnum is an unapologetically anthemic hard rock album; here, Stairway has matched and maybe even surpassed their highly successful 2006 album "The Other Side Of Midnight"
With past nominations for Best CD and Best Band in the NMW Awards in Hollywood USA and festival appearances with Blaze Bayley, and Blitzkrieg, this marks the continued success of one of rock's best-kept secrets and future giants!
Rock Has Returned...Not with a whimper; but with an earth shattering combination of Power and Passion!

STAIRWAY's Debut CD, 'No Rest:No Mercy', produced by Paul Hodson (Hard Rain, Bob Catley), was released on Edge Records in 1993 and hailed the band's International popularity. The album was released in Japan later that same year, and debuted at #48 in the Japanese Import Charts. The band continued to work live, and after completing contractual obligations with their former label, Stairway independently released their 2nd CD, 'Bleeding Heart' in July 1999. During 2002 Stairway's 3rd album 'On Hallowed Ground ' was released to great reviews and media feedback, as well as incredible support from fans world wide. Following up on this success, Stairway signed a Licensing deal with American Label Retroactive Records in 2005 to re-release the 'No Rest: No Mercy' album as a Limited Edition and is now available on the market. Gigs to follow this up took place in 2005, followed by an incredible gig appearance in October '05 at Metalfest Germany Co-headlining with Rob Rock (USA) and Narnia (Sweden). In 2005/06 the band began recording their new and 4th CD - 'The Other Side of Midnight', a disc of pure Power Metal, which is now available on general release in the UK from www.hmv.co.uk and www.cdbaby.com This, together with the album's debut Chart entry at #2 in the USA's National College Chart and two Nominations for Best Album and Best Group in the NMW Awards, may well be the time that sees STAIRWAY on the musical map for real!
