  • Harpernonfiction to Publish Rock Legend, Iron Maiden's
    HARPERNONFICTION TO PUBLISH ROCK LEGEND, IRON MAIDEN’S BRUCE DICKINSON THIS AUTUMN FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 26th July 2017 This Autumn HarperNonFiction are publishing What Does This Button Do?, the hugely anticipated memoir from Iron Maiden frontman and rock legend, Bruce Dickinson. Heavy metal pioneers since their formation in 1975, Iron Maiden have sold over 90 million albums and played over 2000 shows in 63 countries, making them one of the most successful and globally influential bands of all time. One of the world’s most storied musicians, Bruce Dickinson has been the band’s internationally- acclaimed lead singer for more than 30 years, and quite aside from the decades spent delivering high- octane performances with his larger-than-life persona, Bruce has lived an extraordinary off-stage existence too. A true polymath, Bruce is, or has been, an airline pilot and captain, an aviation entrepreneur, a beer brewer, motivational speaker, film scriptwriter, twice-published novelist, radio presenter, TV actor and a world-class fencer. Over the last couple of years, and throughout Iron Maiden’s The Book Of Souls World Tour, which has covered 39 countries and 117 shows since February 2016, Bruce has turned his unbridled creativity to writing his memoirs, longhand (in seven A4 notebooks no less). In What Does This Button Do?, Bruce (a man who famously never gives interviews about his personal life) shares, for the first time, the most fascinating recollections, including his thirty years with Maiden, the early days, his childhood within the eccentric British school system, going solo, realising his dream of flying jumbo jets and his recent battle with tongue cancer.

  • Blaze Bayley, Risactonia, Black Atom @ Caesar's
    BLAZE BAYLEY CAESAR’S PALACE, MONDAY 5TH MARCH ‘This is a song about how machines are going to take over the world. Because when that happens, there will be a Second Messiah!’ Like, yeah Blaze, whatever man. Let’s get this straight: I don’t like Iron Maiden. I can’t hear that name without thinking of widdly guitar solos, pompous over-the-top lyrics, grown men in shorts, Dungeons & Dragons, scampi flavour Nik-Naks, sacrificial virgins - you get the picture. So what am I doing at a gig whose main attraction is Blaze Bayley, the man who fronted Maiden through what is considered to have been their worst years? Well, there is the added bonus of Risactonia and Black Atom, two bands that are always good to watch. And I have been informed that Blaze’s solo material sounds nothing like that of his previous employers. Anyway, who can resist a good metal gig? This is Aberdeen after all, a lonely outpost that plays host to such diverse names as David Gray and Coldplay. It’s just too good an opportunity to miss. By the time Blaze come on, a steady crowd has gathered, largely made up of old Maiden fans, who seem to crawl out of the woodwork whenever such events come around, plus a good number of metal kids. Even Fudge decide to grace us with their presence. Black seems to be the colour of choice tonight. The band are dressed in black. The stage is black. And I am wearing, well, white for some reason. The other thing I should mention about the stage is the huge drum-kit that takes up half of it.

    For more information: Thomas Bolding Public Relations Specialist 618-772-8029 [email protected] Phantom Music Management FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UP THE IRONS: THE SATTELITE FRONTIER January 27, 2013, London, UK – Iron Maiden will expand their music catalog into satellite through a partnership with Sirius XM radio. The partnership aims for a Maiden and heavy metal-exclusive radio program for metal head subscribers. The program will be titled: Up the Irons. The program is set to launch Monday, January 28 in the US and UK. After the success of the band’s 2010 album, The Final Frontier, Steve Smith and co. have decided to branch out further into the radio world. “We received multiple suggestions on how to further reach our fan base. After careful consideration, and somewhat-chaotic research, we’ve decided Sirius XM radio brings us closer to casual metal listeners. Some radio stations contacted us in the past and even helped our success with Number of the Beast and so on, but XM provides the seclusion, the listener-friendly experience. And that’s what we want the most – for our fans, and music fans in general, to be happy,” said assistant band manager Roy Schofield. Maiden plans to promote The Final Frontier, but also works from their classic catalogue including: Powerslave, Killers, and Number of the Beast. In collaboration with other metal acts, the radio program aims to build an appreciation of heavy metal and its various sub-genres. “You’ll get Run to the Hills, but you may even hear Rime of the Ancient Mariner, or even Phantom of the Opera.

Il massiccio Bruce Dickinson si era già dimostrato nettamente il miglior cantante e il frontman più Qenigmatico della new wave dell’heavy metal britannico. Magari non nei primi album, ancora un po’ acerbi, dei Samson, ma certamente con il classico più graffiante della band, Shock Tactics, un disco che, dal punto di vista di chi scrive, resta la più grande vetrina vocale di Dickinson. Inoltre, si trattava di un tipo particolarmente sveglio. Gli Iron Maiden avevano una montagna di problemi legati al loro cantante solista, Paul Di’Anno.

  • Close Readings of Metal Lyrics
    International Journal of English Learning and Teaching Skills; Vol. 1, No. 4; ISSN : 2639-7412 (Print) ISSN : 2638-5546 (Online) POETRY AND LYRICS IN LANGUAGE ACROSS CENTURIES: CLOSE READINGS OF METAL LYRICS Anushka Banerjee Aishika Mukherjee Sayantan Chanda, Shivam Shubham B.Tech Second Year, Mayurakshi Dev Assistant Professor of English Department of Basic Science and Humanities, Institute of Engineering & Management, Kolkata Introduction Ever since its inception into the realm of music during the mid-70, heavy metal has been hailed as one of the most extreme genres in terms of loudness, machismo and lyrical content. Throughout its existence, heavy metal has been mired with controversies; critics slighted the music by shunning it off as being riddled with overblown adolescent theatrics, and conservative groups have accused the genre of being provocative due to its evil lyrical content. Inspite of all those adversities, heavy metal has held its stance as one of the most consistent forms of rock music. Metal music, through its efforts has reinstated the “ancient Indo-European spirit of vir”1 through a Romantic, Faustian form of music culture. This has staggered the general concept of mainstream music and has hence, since long, remained controversial. Heavy metal has never been popular with the mainstream masses, primarily due to the nature of the music. Amongst other things, lyrical content of the songs is one thing that is largely frowned upon and often considered to be one of the primary reasons why metal music has never struck a chord with the masses. But such allegations, while partly true, remain biased to a large extent.

  • Iron Maiden: the Beast on the Road Tour 2 D'abril De 1982 Palau Municipal D'esports De Barcelona
    It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 04/01/2017 a les 06:00 Iron Maiden: The Beast On The Road Tour 2 d'Abril de 1982 Palau Municipal d'Esports de Barcelona Corria l'any 1981 i Iron Maiden era una banda relativament gran després d'editar dos discos molt bons, Iron Maiden (1980) i Killers (1981), fins i tot havien fet de teloners per Kiss a la seva gira europea de 1980 i tornaven d'una gira en solitari pel Japó aquell mateix any que recollirien en un EP en directe titulat Maiden Japan. Però l'estil de vida d'excessos amb l'alcohol i les drogues que tenien física i psicològicament desgastat al fins aquell moment cantant Paul Di' Anno estava començant a posar en seriós perill la contínua ascensió de la banda i això era una cosa que el seu fundador, Steve Harris no estava disposat a consentir. La conseqüència d'aquests excessos va portar a Paul Di' Anno a ser expulsat de la banda. El seu substitut seria Bruce Dickinson, la veu més potent i enèrgica que ha donat Anglaterra i conegut amb el sobrenom d' Air Raid Siren, sirena d'atac antiaeri. Steve Harris juntament amb el manager d' Iron Maiden Rod Smallwood van anar personalment a veure'l al concert de Samson (banda en la que cantava aleshores) al festival de Reading al 1981 (a l'any següent repetiria en el mateix festival però com a cantant d' Iron Maiden i de caps de cartell, arrasant davant unes 35.000 persones) i no molts dies més tard es convertia en el nou cantant de la banda.

  • Historical Themes in Iron Maiden Songs (Part I): from the Cavemen to the Vikings
    Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Canção – ISSN 2238-1198 Natal, n.3, jan-jun 2013. www.rbec.ect.ufrn.br Historical Themes in Iron Maiden Songs (Part I): From the Cavemen to the Vikings Lauro Meller1 [email protected] Abstract: This paper intends to deepen some of the ideas put forward in a previous study of ours, “Historical Characters and Facts in Iron Maiden Songs: a journey from Pre-History to The Second World War” (MELLER, 2005). Our aim is to demonstrate that the lyrics to Maiden’s songs stand out in the Heavy Metal scenario (whose lyrics usually have as subject matters Satanism, sex, drinking, and drug abuse). Avoiding these commonplace topics, Steve Harris, the main songwriter in the group, invests in more elaborate lyrics, either inspired by literary works or about historical themes. In fact, there are so many songs in the band’s discography that deal with historical themes that it is even possible to draw a timeline that stems from Pre-History and reaches The Second World War. While our analytical approach tends to focus on the lyrics, it will not ignore some aspects that are crucial to a better understanding of songs, namely the strictly musical elements (melody, harmony, rhythm, arrangement, etc.), and performance. Keywords: Iron Maiden; Heavy Metal; History; Popular Music Studies. Resumo: Este trabalho pretende verticalizar algumas das ideias apresentadas em um estudo prévio de nossa autoria, “Personagens e Fatos Históricos nas Canções do Iron Maiden: uma jornada da Pré-História à Segunda Guerra Mundial” (MELLER, 2005). Nosso intuito é o de demonstrar que as letras das canções do Maiden se destacam no cenário do Heavy Metal (cujas letras normalmente versam sobre Satanismo, sexo, bebida e consumo de drogas).
