Acclaimed artist Timothy Bradstreet, who was responsible for the artwork for the new IRON MAIDEN album, "A Matter of Life and Death", has posted the following message on his official blog:

"If you'd have told me back in 1985 that I'd one day be doing an album cover for IRON MAIDEN, I'd have told you to 'Get the **** out of my face.' You see, not only am I one of the MAIDEN faithful from WAY back, I'm a card-carrying member of Ed Hunter F'n fanclub.

"A few months back I recieved one of those emails I had to read two or three times. IRON MAIDEN came calling to see if I wanted to take a crack at their forthcoming album cover. Are you kidding? I spent the better part of my four high school years drawing Eddie in every available corner of my school notebooks to the everlasting chagrin of my instructors. It's like music to my ears to recollect the words of my teachers at the time. I think it went something like this: 'Do you honestly think these silly drawings will ever get you a job in the real world? Why don't you just concentrate on your schoolwork and stop wasting your time?'

"Hmmm, well I think most of them realized they could take a big kiss-off some time ago when I made a career of creating those 'silly drawings' on a monthly basis for The Punisher and John Constantine: Hellblazer. Now it really comes full circle as one of my wildest dreams has found itself fully realized.

"Coming in early September is MAIDEN's 13th studio album, 'A Matter of Life and Death' with artwork by that silly kid from 10th grade. It's truly a wonderful thing for me to be a part of. I want to send a special shout out to Mr. Derek Riggs whose paintings for MAIDEN inspired legions of fans over the last 26 years. Hard to believe it's been that long. Derek will always be the man. I hope I do him honor with my effort."

According to MaidenNorway.com, Maidenfans.com relayed a bulletin posted by the Italian MAIDEN fan site www.eddies.it claiming the Italian release date of IRON MAIDEN's 14th studio album, "A Matter of Life and Death", is August 25.

As previously reported, EMI was planning to release the album August 26-28, depending on the coutry. New information, on the other hand, suggests that the Italian release will be August 25 — which is probably more likely as it lands on a Friday rather than a Saturday.

Steve Harris zegt er het volgende over:

"Everyone's going to ask who Benjamin Breeg is, but you'll just have to find out for yourself!"
