IRON MAIDEN: 'The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg' Video To Debut Sunday Night - July 15, 2006
IRON MAIDEN's video for their new single, "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", will reportedly receive its worldwide premiere Sunday night (July 16) on the web site of the Iron Maiden Online Club (the band's official fan club; you must be a registered member to log in). "We'll be posting it at around midnight on Sunday night (U.K. time) so make sure you're logged in with your Windows Media and Real Players ready to go," reads an announcement that was sent out to the club members earlier today.

Kerrang! magazine has previously described "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" as "an intricate seven-minute epic that starts with a creepy, ominous intro before erupting into a crushing, almost LED ZEPPELIN-esque riff and a powerful, emotive chorus. More obtuse lyrically than most of the album, it's a curious, challenging choice for a single."

"It's very different for us," admitted the band's bassist, Steve Harris. "It's very riffy. The intro has an almost nursery rhyme eeriness. Sometimes you try to create a mood and sometimes it's just there. Everyone's going to ask who Benjamin Breeg is, but you'll just have to find out for yourself!"

IRON MAIDEN's new studio album, entitled "A Matter of Life and Death", is scheduled for release on August 26 in Australia, and August 28 in Europe. A U.S. release is expected in early September. "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" single will precede the album on August 14.

"A Matter of Life and Death" was recorded at Sarm West Studios in London with producer Kevin Shirley, who also worked on the last two MAIDEN albums, 2000's "Brave New World" and 2003's "Dance of Death".

I'd hardly class Iron Maiden a "shitty, worthless" band, considering they practically invented the genre. It just proves that they've got to ability to keep writing fresh metal after all the years. Something that a majority of the new breed of shite so-called metal bands can't claim.

"Led Zepplin-esque"? Why? WHY????

You know, quite a few mainstreamers think that all heavy music begins and ends with Led Zepplin.

Mentioning that an Iron Maiden riff is Led Zepplin-esque only adds fuel to their fire. Thanks dumbass Kerrang. And if it is, then Maiden had no business using it. Never give them fuel.

One has to be realy stupid to call Maiden a "old shitty band" and not notice the ignorance in that remark... Most metal bands you ear today were influenced by them, you stupid fuck.
The "foreign pieces of trash" part is also very smart...it's because of people like you that 90% of the planet hates your guts.

who the fuck is fear factory? while I don't like maiden insulting their fans about how they act in concert (or rather how their older fans don't) their music speaks for itself. they have put out so many great records over the years it's hard to name the best one and even more difficult to make your own greatest hits cd for your car as they have so many great songs. I can't even think of 1 by this no talent band and while I may be older I still try and keep up to date with what's new in metal and while I have of heard of the name can't think of a song or know of anybody who has their stuff and I have friends with kids who are old enough to listen to todays music and none them think this group is any good. so before you trash them at least come up with a band with talent dumbass. and anyone who complains about how long a song is just being ridiculous, when I pay 15 bucks for a cd I want it to be as long as possible not 30 min. and done. call me old school as I still buy music but I like having the actual cd and not a burned copy for my home use. the only complaint I have so for is the b-side choices, come on guys give us some unreleased songs like the somewhere in time singles not the rehashed old singles relesed as live or remixed,sorry still sound the sound to me.

For a band like Fear Factory (all talent aside) to be even brought into a discussion about one of the greatest metal bands ever, is fucking ludicrous.

Fear Factory is an average band....."Demanufacture" and "Obsolete" are great albums. Beyond that, they have not accomplished much as a band. As for Maiden... well do I even have to say anything.....bad fucking ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. I have high hopes that this album will put the band back on track, following what was arguably the worst album of their career (some might debate that No Prayer holds that title). I guess I'll find out with the state side release. The description of this single reminds me of Sign of the Cross, which is an under-rated Maiden classic for sure.

No shit. To put the word metal in quotes when referring to Iron Maiden, as if saying that they're not really metal but you'll accept it just because 99.9999% of the community would say you're wrong...is just ignorance. You don't need to like Maiden to agree they are metal. They could never be described as anything but metal!

Maybe some of you little emo idiots should read up your metal historybook someday and see how fucking important this band is. Were it not for them, you probably wouldn't have 90% of the bands that you DO like.

You don't have to like their music. But if you want to call yourself a metalhead, you do have to acknowledge what they did for this genre of music. If you don't? Then you are just a fool and it's not worth wasiting the 3 seconds to even read your stupid opinion.

I still waiting for Death on the road DVD to hit the states, Hell they totaly skipped the U.S. on that tour except for LA and New York. I bet they have houses there or something.

I think Niko lives in Florida or something.
