IRON MAIDEN Announces Special Album Format

[Greg (Owner)]

IRON MAIDEN has confirmed that the release date for
their new studio album, "A Matter of Life and Death",
will be August 28 for the world except the USA which
has been confirmed as September 5. The CD will also be
available as a limited-edition special deluxe format
which contains a bonus DVD. The DVD contains nearly an
hour of documentary footage plus videos and photos all
shot whilst the band were making the album. The
documentary, titled "The Making of A Matter Of Life
and Death", directed by Matthew Amos ("Early Days",
"Death on the Road" DVD documentaries) features candid
video footage shot largely by Kevin Shirley himself
during the recording of the album giving a real
behind-the-scenes look at life in the studio . The
bonus DVD also features the full 7:21 minute video
promo for "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", and a
special intimate filming of the band recording
"Different World" in the studio. "A Matter of Life and
Death" will also be available as a limited-edition
double picture disc vinyl in gatefold sleeve, and as a
digital download, available through the newly launched
official IRON MAIDEN digital store, where you can buy
single tracks, a bundle, or an album for your PC, or
your MP3 player.

In other news, IRON MAIDEN has launched an official
mobile graphics site where you will find all your
favorite MAIDEN artwork to download as wallpaper onto
your mobile phone. Also available are some great
animated screensavers. Currently the service is only
available in the U.K., but the band hopes to be
rolling it out further in the near future.
