New Iron Maiden video

IRON MAIDEN's video for their new single, "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", has been made available for streaming at the following link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNttRSMqOe0

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".

The video itself was the definition of suckage, but I totally dig the song

Yeah the video was sloppy to say the least but that's not the point I guess. Some of the riffs on that song are pretty sweet.

Dude...this song is pretty sweet. Not their best ever, but solid. More than solid. It's great. Bruce's vocals are easily the highlight IMO

I still am curious as to who Benjamin Breeg is. I imagine a character Bruce read about in a book. I did a google search and all I got was a bunch of Maiden fans trying to figure it out >.<

EDIT: Nevermind, found out. Apparently he was a writer/artist who mysteriously disappearedThis Message Edited On 07.16.06

This song is pretty good, the singing is a bit out of key I find sometimes. This song doesn't top it's competition which is Dance of Death, and Dream Of Mirrors (my favourite two tracks from their last cd's) although Face In The Sand is close by.

Yeah, pretty good song. The video is not so great, though.

I think I can also hear some off-key singing in the first verse. It disturbs me. I may be wrong, though.This Message Edited On 07.17.06

The song itself kind of drags. But the solo towards the end rips huge.

The video was ok, I mean liked the way Bruce was just standing there kind of creepy.This Message Edited On 07.18.06
