"Blood Alliance" was recorded at Foel Studios (Paul Rodgers, Napalm Death, The Wildhearts) in Wales next . Eleven songs were laid down for the follow-up to 2008's "Master Of Illusion", including one bonus track. The CD cover artwork was once again designed by Felipe Machado (Blind Guardian, Silent Force).
Commented keyboardist Steve Williams: "Well, it has been a long time coming but finally the fifth Power Quest album is done and I don't think I have ever been so excited about releasing an album. All the guys have given 110% to this record and I'm proud of them all. It's without doubt the heaviest Power Quest album yet but without sacrificing the Power Quest melodic tradition. I just can't wait for you all to hear it!"
Power Quest's last album, "Master of Illusion", was released in 2008 via Napalm Records/Avalon Marquee (Japan). Guest musicians on the CD include keyboardist Richard West from the U.K. progressive metal band Threshold, Jorn Viggo Lofstad from the Norwegian power metal act Pagan's Mind and Fourwaykill singer Chris Neighbour.
