IRON MAIDEN: 'The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg' Video Posted Online
- July 16, 2006
|
|
IRON MAIDEN's video for their new single, "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", has been made available for streaming at the following links: Location#1, Location#2. 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".

That is fuckin awesome.If this song is anything to go by then this will be ,by far,the best Maiden album since the eighties.
The song is anything but your typical "single".Atmospheric and heavy.Bruce is in top form and the chorus is absolutely brilliant.
"Someone to save me........."

it's not a bad song at all. Bruce's singing is really good and the music is quite different for Maiden. I do miss that Maiden "gallop", if you will, but it's a good song. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

If this single is indicative of the new album as a whole, we're all in for some good times!! I have to admit that, in my opinion, Iron Maiden has not put out a truly classic album since "Fear of the Dark," but I'm thinking they're finally going to rectify that.

This song is amazing, epic and heavy.
Very riffy for maiden, Dickinson has never sound sooooo goooooddd.
The Murray solo in the middle is awesome , and the chorus is spellbinding, what the fuck has got into maiden after the last album, even though i enjoyed dance of death, but this song is amazing.......
LONG LIVE MAIDEN!!!!!!!!

Such a cool song. A bit out of the Maiden formula which is really cool to hear. This album, if this is any indication, could be the one to get them back to headlining major arenas in the US.
They should get Saxon and a couple of newer Brit metal bands and do MaidenFest or another invasion tour.

It IS different . Some of that guitar solo does seem to wander a bit. Mellow for Maiden . More comemrcial in the Kevin Shirley era.
Of course I'll buy it. Might be more of a departure than we expect?

I wouldn't say it blew me away though. It definitely didn't suck. If the rest of the album's this good, I'll say it's as least as good as DOD. BNW was a little disappointing.

Sounds like Virtual XI with Bruce singing. Is that a good thing?
I don't know what to think of it. I definitely wasn't expecting Wicker Man or 2 Minutes 2 Midnight, but that song still kind of just goes nowhere. Some killer ideas but... I don't know.
I fucking love Maiden and will give it a few more listens.

Papa Roach couldn't have stolen the riff in Last Resort from "Genghis Khan", "Ides Of March", and "Afraid To Shoot Strangers"?
cmon now
or you may be are referring to a supposed another riff ripoff from one of proach's other songs
out of all those songs "Genghis Khan" probably sounds the most like it, but I don't think it sounds anything like that stellar riff in Last Resort

Once and for all
Papa Roach stole the interlude riff from "Infinite Dreams" for their single "Last Resort". The exact part I'm talking about is the guitar melody after Bruce sings "in heaven or in hell..."

that song was fuckin amazing....definately some of the best riffs theyve done in years. Sure Bruce's voice may not be as it once was, but make no mistake, he sounded really good. I dont know now, is it me, or did that riff towards the end almost have a south of heaven/seasons of the abyss era Slayer type vibe to it? Anywho il stop ranting, so to those who have yet to listen to it, pour yourself a shot, or seven, fix yourself a good old sandwich, turn up the volume, and prepare for your ears to cream themselves!

Hey its more aggressive cool which is what the wankers been missing and the riffs are cool and heavy. Now the bad side I think The song is still over dramatized and a bit too long who needs 7 minutes of it I mean I don't know if thy are deliberately trying to keep those already beaten to death gloomy intros but they should have canned those . Its in the begenning and at the end but hey I could stand it. Hopefully there are more cool tracks in there down the line with more speed and less cheesy intros was about to break out my own fog machine here. Good idea on the not mastering thing as it culd have been too plished a production. I'll be interested in hearing more. I feeel they are prolly a bit more aggressive sounding on this cd which is what Maidden been missing or criticized for or is it the age. lol ok carry on wayward sons and daughters....

Benjamin Breeg was born in London on September 3rd, 1939.
After the deaths of his parents in a house fire in September, 1947, Breeg was sent to an orphanage in the East End. The cause of the fatal fire, to this day, remains unexplained. Breeg himself was present in the house at the time but escaped unharmed.
He was a bright child but very solitary, prompting one of his carers at the orphanage to state: "He has the demeanour of a child who seems to bear more weight upon his shoulders than any person should. What goes on behind his eyes makes one wonder what's troubling him." As well as his academic interests, Breeg also became interested in The Bible and expressed a desire to join the clergy.
Breeg was fostered by three families between 1947 and 1950 but each time, he was returned to the orphanage, unable to settle in any of the new homes that had offered to raise him.It was on his tenth birthday in 1949, that he began to experience nightmares that he himself later described as "the most vile and tortuous I have ever endured." Despite this, he went on to develop incredible talent as an artist and produced a large number of drawings, sketches and paintings. However, none of these survive and are believed to have been destroyed by Breeg himself. To this day, no one knows why. The subjects of these paintings, however, supposedly caused great consternation and distress among those who Breeg allowed to view them.
The verdict of one close friend who saw some of Breeg's work is as follows: "He says he paints what he sees. If this is true, I can only thank God I have no window into his mind."
Breeg's first job on leaving the orphanage, in 1954, was at a local Undertakers, where he was given the task of engraving headstones. His interest in the Bible had by now turned into what a colleague deemed to be "obsessive". He lived alone and little is known about his life between 1955 and 1959 other than that his interest in joining the clergy diminished. His obsession with the Bible, however, did not.
Breeg travelled widely between 1960 and 1970, visiting many different countries. Living for two years in Haiti before travelling to Eastern Europe where he lived between 1966 and 1969. He was forced to flee from Romania in 1969 following local Police investigations. He returned to England in March 1971. Upon his return, he was offered a position with the International Institute of Paranormal Investigation which he accepted.
Breeg wrote four books between 1971 and 1977. None of these, as far as can be ascertained, remain in print. All, however, concern the sights and cultures Breeg experienced while travelling. The emphasis in all four volumes is on the Occult practices of the countries visited.
Benjamin Breeg disappeared from his home on June 18th, 1978. All efforts to locate him proved unsuccessful.

Oh man, I just went on the lower article about the video. I feel so bad, someone got banned from the Maiden site because he put it on Youtube.
For the first time ever, I don't want to bash RoachJoe. Maybe he will finally see the greatness of Maiden.

Metallica, take note. If you want to change your sound, do it the way Maiden just did with this song. TROBB is one kick-ass song. Those riffs are fantastic, and the bass is your new god. If you don't like the song, it's because you most likely decided you were going to hate it beforehand. This song is heavy as hell, and just to remind you, the people who made it are around the age of 50. Even at this age, they can come up with something heavy-as-hell that most bands could never come up with. UP THE MOTHERFUCKIN" IRONS!!!!!!!!!

Let's be honest. If an unknown band that just popped up had put out the exact some song... none of you would have liked it. Most of you would have been mildy impressed at the most, but because it is iron maiden it's amazing... what a ridiculous logic. This song was poor.... very very poor.

I can't believe how excited everyone is for what is arguably a very average song at best.
Do you guys remember "The Number of The Beast", "Power Slave", "Somewhere In Time?" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son"?
Do you remember when Maiden songs didn't labor on sounding as if they're about to collapse under their own weight?
My god... can these guys play something FAST anymore?
Geeze... this isn't as bad as most of DANCE OF DEATH but it's not exactly a leap forward.
Quit the fanboyism and look at the song objectively... it's not terrible but it's not great either.

For crying out loud....it's Iron Maiden...It is not like they are going to re-invent the wheel or something...
Their weakest material is still far beyond what most bands put out these days...

I'm tired of the bass-with-clunky-guitars intro that we've heard athousand times, but when the song gets going it's pretty good.
I'll have to wait until I get it in my stereo, but the snare and bass drums sound nice and crisp, and the guitars are nicely distorted and crisp as well.; more of that feedback is good.
Personally, I perfer the faster songs. Hopefully the album will give us the same production and skill with a little more tempo!
Why would someone listen to Tool when there's this?

I haven't bought a Maiden album since "Somewhere in Time", but I'm definitely buying this the 1st day. I'd love to see Maiden do "an evening with..." behind this album; an hour-long 1st set, an intermission, and a 90-minute 2nd set. This song would be the perfect way to start the 2nd set!
plur
p.s. whomever it was that said there were no harmony guitars on this song: my computer speakers kinda suck...but they don't suck that bad. Harmony part started at about 4:45.

I respect Iron Maiden for their importance and influence, but beyond that, the only thing that I like about their sound is the dual guitars. Their image and lyrical content is mostly cheesy and I cannot stand the soaring power vocals. Don't get me wrong, Dickinson and Rob Halford and whoever else are talented singers with great range, but I hate the wail. I would much rather hear a growl, a lower pitched yell/scream, or Peter Steele. I don't think it gets any better than Phil Anselmo on VDOP or Jim Hetfield on AJFA. As for Maiden, as long as they get it done for somebody, hell, keep on going. As long as you're not a joke like the Stones or Aerosmith.

But this song in my opinion drags to much. Bruce's vocals are the shining moments of the song, but being a Maiden fan for 23 years now I could say that this isn't groundbreaking in the Maiden realm of things. This album has already been getting huge hype for the past twp months online. However, this song and video in my view just doesn't please my senses. I'll still purchase the album though.

Excelent intro, good main riff, interesting mid-section and great vocals but the song ends up sounding a bit too long. Nothing against long songs, but this one sounds a bit repetitive, since it's basicaly the same riff throghout the whole song.
Anyways, it's still pretty good and sounds kind of "different" for Maiden material.

First of all, this song is far better than Wildest Dreams from DOD which was basically trying to The Trooper or Aces High without the intensity or energy. I am wildly disapointed by the video itself, because I expected a really cool concept video rather than another excuse for self-vanity. As for the song, The riffs are great and very intense. This song has a sludgy and powerfull vibe not heard since Seventh Son days. The intro vocals really grow on you with repeat listens, and become almost haunting. The length has been complained about on this board, and I honestly thought the same thing on first listen, but the structure of the song has grown on me a bit. The drumming is particularily strong, and it has definetly piqued my interest for the rest of the album. I think this is a song that grows on repeat listens, which is a pretty strong sign

This sounds NOTHING like other Maiden singles or other songs. Its far steadier in tempo, has no -la-di-da chorus like Wildest dreams or Run to the Hills, and is based on a very bluesy riff.
i applaud Maiden for doing something a little different without sacrificing their character.

Bruce sounds sharp ( as usual) i like the deeper bass sound in this song, havent heard that since No prayer for the dying. theres something else tho. i cant pick up on
Oh anyone notice that the first synthish guitar riff is a recycled one from the Somewhere on tour guitar solo dave and adrian played with that being said i like it and am looking foward to the new album... bigtime

Better than I was expecting from a first single, lots of comments about how good Bruce sounds and they're not wrong.
Should be shorter than 7 minutes however and I was very disapointed with the video - they've bothered to set up a cheap bogus website about the character but have not been bothered to make the video anything to do with him, how lazy.

however if it turns out to be a concept album they aint gonna ruin it almost a month and a half before the release date ( 2 months if they didnt push it foward like rumored) thats like Queensryche coming out and sayin Nikki killed mary during the Q2K tour.. wouldnt be wise...
then again now was Q2K lol

OK I should have guessed from the bad English that the site wasn't an official job. It won't be a concept album or they'd have been going on aout it ages ago like Priest are with their Nostradamus thing.
" theres something else tho. i cant pick up on" - maybe the snare drum? Sounds much tighter and closed than the last couple of albums, better IMO.

yea nickos drums sound real great.. dust watched the videoi think its either that or how they hold the same feel for longer than usual. during Dance of death it was constantly changing the song they didnt letthinkgs last too long ( cept for the song no more lies) i thike the sound of nickos bass drum too. much deeper i find.
his hi hat sounds clive like too thats always a god thing...
but i think i found it out i think hear bass harmonics during the intros and outros

Quit the fanboyism and look at the song objectively... it's not terrible but it's not great either.
I'm listening to it objectively, and I like it. I didn't really like Dance of Death. Why can't someone like this? Maybe you don't like it, but I do and I think its a new sound for them, heavier guitar. I see your point though, it does have the somber intro just like every Maiden tune in the past 10 years, but there are interesting changes nonetheless.

am i the only one who thinks certain parts sound very dio-esque?
It does! Good call. I didn't hear it originally but now that you mention it, it does sound like Dio a bit. Thats not a bad thing in my book

It's funny to see people going, "UP THE FUCKING IRONS" to a song that is about as heavy as nickelback (if that) it makes you guys look stupid.
RIP IRON MAIDEN

it´s a weird choise for a first single( i hope the rest of the new songs will be better than this) Bruce sounds great , but the drums are boring and the production isn´t good enough for a high profile band like Maiden.Musically it sounds alot like The x factor mixed with elements from Dod and maybe alittle no prayer for the dying vibe, also.

The best you can say about this song is that it's fine. Not thrilling, nothing truly exciting, but fine. But fine is boring and Maiden never used to settle for it.
Harris still doesn't know shit about matching the accent of a given word with the meter of a corresponding line-- so he winds up making Bruce sound like Blaze.
He's also actually stealing from himself, now. That chorus is a complete rehash of Dream of Mirrors. (And the intro is basically Paschendale.)
So we find yet again that Shirley's studio updates are complete bullshit hype.
If this is truly the highlight of the album, y'all are gonna be catching zzz's very soon.

I liked the new song. I am glad to get anything new from the masters. I loved Brave New World, but didnt like Dance of Death as much. I hope this CD sounds more like Brave New World. I loved seeing the Live After Death and Dance of Death video clips as well. Bad ass man!!!

I don't care what anyone says-
That track ruled. Great classic riff near the end...simple...maiden....killer leads...and Bruce is actually singing full on, this time around. Cannot wait for the whole album.

If by tosser you mean the only one here who seems to pay attention to the fucking lyrics, then yes. I guess I am the Grand Poobah Tosser Supreme.
Benjamin Breeg: "Someone to save me from myself. . ."
Dream of Mirrors: " I only dream in black and white to save me from myself. . ."
Nahh. No similarity there.
Intro to Benjamin Breeg: "Let me tell you about my life"
Intro to Paschendale: "Let me tell you about his years"
Little close for comfort in my book!
Steve Harris's days of originality are OVER. But he's got so many of your fanboy noses up his ass, he'll never know it.
"Tee hee. . .blimey, 'at kinda tickles, mates."

this is something special. being a maiden fan for 20 years and playing in a lots of band for 16 gives me credibility to say whatever I want.
I will always buy a new maiden album, I will always go to see them live, but this is just wrong!!
good points:
1) Bruce sings great, his voice has matured a lot since he left maiden and this sounds almost as good as his solo material
2) Davey shreds as good as always
3) Nicko is surprisingly good, almost back to his old form. Some quick breaks here and there and a rather groovy rythm.
bad points:
1) Structure of the songs is complete bullsh*t! Why does Harris always have to add his freakind 6/8 tempo bling-blong on the bass?? He takes credits for this song only for intro/outro and that rather pathetic attempt to make an odd-tempo introduction to Davey's solo. He should have left Dave make a song himself, he proved before he can do a hell of a job!!!
Harry please, for once and for all, admit that you lost your songwriting touch and just stop copy-pasting Fear of the Dark bass groove into any future Maiden song if possible! Please!!
You have Dickinson and Smith back in the ranks, let them take the lead now, there is nothing wrong in that!
I mean, I don't want Maiden to sound like Bruce solo, but there is a classic Maiden sound and there is Virtual XI sound- don't go there again!!!
2) Tempo of the song is to slow, add some 10-20bpm and you gotta a galloping maiden classic. Probably it will sound nice live, but would have been much tighter and groovier song! Nicko could have shown all his potential. This way it sounds like a lame version of Stranger in a Strange Land.
Hope that the rest of the album will prove me wrong, but this + DOD looks like downward road for Maiden…to my sincere disappointment..

*******************************
Just because the lyrics are similar doesn't mean it sounds the same. It doesn't sound the same to me at all. But you're right, Steve's lyrics do include a lot of the same words and ideas. I still think this is a strong track because it's darker and heavier than DOD, which was not a good album.

Honestly, I love Iron Maiden, but this song is suffering the same thing as half the "Dance of Death" songs. It's overly long and it sounded like an intro that went on too long. There were points that were sort of cool, but there were also points that sounded like a build-up towards a faster song that never materialized. On the whole, a mediocre song. Hope this album is better than this track alone.
