31/05/2003 Iron Maiden Announce New Album


Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson took the band’s headlining performance at the Download festival as an opportunity to announce the long-awaited details of their new album. Iron Maiden are currently performing on their 'Give Me Ed...Til I'm Dead' Tour, headlining dates throughout Europe and the USA.

The new album, entitled 'Dance Of Death', is the band's thirteenth studio album and is due for release in September 2003. Work began on the album late in 2002 when Iron Maiden reconvened from a break to start putting the album together. They teamed up again with producer Kevin Shirley who co-produced their last album, ‘Brave New World’ with Steve Harris. The album was recorded and mixed at Sarm Studios in West London during the spring.

Kevin Shirley has been even more impressed working with Iron Maiden this time round. 'The band are so in sync with each other – it’s incredible. There is very little friction in the studio, and the sessions couldn't have been any more fun and productive, and they rock so fucking hard too! It all augers well for the finished product, and whatever period in Maiden's history is your favourite, I doubt whether they've all played as together as this before.

“In the Zeppelin tradition of ‘Tight But Loose’, this is a band which moves - pushing the beat, pulling it back, and that's real rock! No click tracks, no ProTools computer tightening and manipulation - what you hear is what they play. I'm just saying it like it is, and Maiden are the last and the best of the naturally moving rock bands.”

Vocalist Bruce Dickinson is equally as pleased with the results on ‘Dance Of Death’. “I think ‘Brave New World’ was only a stepping stone to what we have managed to achieve on this record for everyone. Recording this album was almost like being back when ‘Number Of The Beast’ was recorded in that the speed and the energy that went into the writing and recording was phenomenal. Everything has come together on this album and I think everyone that hears this record will be moved in different ways from the epic sound of songs like ‘Paschendale’ through to the more heavy tracks like ‘Rainmaker’ and ‘Montsegur’. This album will open a lot of eyes and ears to the world of Iron Maiden.'

The full track listing is -

1. Wildest Dreams
2. Rainmaker
3. No More Lies
4. Montsegur
5. Dance Of Death
6. Gates Of Tomorrow
7. New Frontier
8. Paschendale
9. Face in The Sand
10. Age Of Innocence
11. Journeyman

The 11 tracks represent the work from all band members including for the first time drummer Nicko McBrain on the track 'New Frontier'.

Another first for the band is that the album has also been mixed to 5.1 Surround which will take those who have 5.1 Home Cinema to a whole new level of hearing the album. Comments Steve Harris, 'When I was working with Kevin on the audio for our ‘Rock In Rio’ DVD the whole 5.1 mixing process really opened my eyes to what could be achieved. I decided there and then that the new album had to be mixed the same way when it was finished. That's not to say that we wrote any specific songs which can only be heard properly in 5.1, I simply wanted to take the listener right into the middle of the studio so they could close their eyes and imagine themselves there. We've really managed to capture that feeling.'

Iron Maiden are also to release their ‘Visions Of The Beast’ DVD and VHS on Monday June 2nd . This Double DVD, which runs in excess of three hours of material, is the definitive chronicle of Iron Maiden through the years and includes many promo clips never previously available. Not only is every video the band has ever made included - 31 in total – but on the DVD version the bonus features include never-before-seen Camp Chaos animated versions of six classic tracks, interactive menus and discographies, and some special hidden extras.

After nearly 20 years and over 1000 concert performances, German thrash metal pioneers KREATOR are prepared to unleash their first ever live album and accompanying DVD to the masses via SPV Records on July 22nd! The band experienced a vast resurgence in North American interest last year on their highly successful Violent Revolution tour, and these upcoming collections are the band's way of giving something back to the fans for their diehard commitment to the Teutonic Thrash legacy.

The CD, Live Kreation, collects 24 tracks of KREATOR's inimitable, blue-collared 'extreme aggression', recorded around the world and produced by renowned knob-smith Andy Sneap (00etc.). Says KREATOR founder, vocalist/guitarist Mille Petrozza on the milestone, "Over the years, a lot of our fans kept asking us for a live record. We loved the idea and started working on it in the beginning of our World Revolution tour. Modern technology allowed us to record 22 shows in total, so at the end of the day, we had tons of stuff to choose from. Capturing good performances from shows in Brazil, Korea, France, Germany and Greece, we've spent a long time picking the right atmosphere of each individual track, kept them all raw and direct, to make this first live album in the history of Kreator a special experience for us and our fans. Andy Sneap did a killer job mixing this 24-track monster, including songs from every album we've recorded."

The historic 2-CD, 100+ minute full-contact extravaganza includes the following tracks:

Disc 1 Disc 2
The Patriarch Lost
Violent Revolution Coma Of Souls
Reconquering The Throne Second Awakening
Extreme Aggression Terrorzone
People Of The Lie Betrayer
All Of The Same Blood Leave This World Behind
Phobia Under The Guillotine
Pleasure To Kill Awakening The Gods
Renewal Golden Age
Servant In Heaven - King In Hell Flag Of Hate
Black Sunrise Tormentor
Terrible Certainty
Riot Of Violence

The DVD companion, Live Kreation - Revisioned Glory, not only includes 17 of the aforementioned 24 tracks mixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound, but also contains a complete 55-minute year-by-year video history of Kreator, including all of the band's video clips and new documentary-style interviews with Mille, additional live footage, behind-the-scenes footage and many other bonus features. Mille comments on this colossal endeavor, "Putting together the material for the DVD was hard work, a little tricky, but in the end a lot of fun! One thing was clear to me from the beginning: no compromise on ANYTHING to make this output the ultimate in quality! I did not know many music DVDs before I started working on ours, so I checked other bands' releases. I was very disappointed by the fact that some artists just put out shitty hand-camera footage and sell it to their audiences as live videos. Luckily, our record company was aware of that problem, and so we hired two professional camera teams to film our shows in Korea and Brazil. Other than that, I personally started shooting all kinds of behind-the-scenes material on tour. To make it all complete, we put together a history documentary, going way back in time, including all official Kreator video clips shot so far, plus previously unreleased interview footage, TV appearances and other rare stuff. So now, after almost half a year in several cutting rooms, mixing studios, in my living room looking through old video tapes, I can promise you, you will definitely enjoy this f**ker!"

KREATOR is planning to commemorate the releases by returning to North America and lay waste to the clubs once again with what will surely be yet another round of memorable performances. Currently monikered The Art of Noise 2, KREATOR will be joined by Nile, Vader, Amon Amarth and Goatwhore, starting October 1st.

WORCESTER, MA - MassConcerts, the promoter of the hugely successful New England Metal and Hardcore Festival, has confirmed plans to expand the festival into new territories beginning with Asbury Park, N.J., in the fall of this year.

The New Jersey Metal And Hardcore Fest will be held at Asbury Park's Convention Hall complex on Friday, November 14 and Saturday, November 15. The lineup will be announced in July.

"It was very clear," said John Peters of MassConcerts, "that the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival had grown in popularity over the past five years and needed the opportunity to go to markets outside of our New England home base. We decided on New Jersey because of its strong metal music scene and it's close proximity to New York. Convention Hall was the perfect fit because of its history of hosting great acts like Pantera and Slayer."

The New Jersey Metal And Hardcore Fest will follow the same format as the annual New England festival but on a larger scale, as allowed by the larger size of the New Jersey venue.

In just five years, the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival has become one of the nation's top heavy metal festivals. This year's show, held May 16 and 17 at the Palladium in Worcester, Mass., sold out a week in advance and was documented by Trustkill for a future DVD release. Rob Zombie was on site interviewing bands for an episode of MTV 2's "Headbanger's Ball," as was Juliya, host of MuchMusic USA's "Uranium."

Following is just a sampling of what media outlets have had to say about the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival: Revolver Magazine stated, "If you decide to go to only one fest this year, this should be it." CMJ says "...hands down, the best metal fest in the world." After this year's fest MetalJudgment.com said "This may have been the best metal festival ever on U.S. soil."

MassConcerts will work in conjunction with local promoter Concerts East on the New Jersey Metal And Hardcore Fest. [www.njmetalandhardcorefest.com]
