Iron Maiden are gearing up for action; the band's new album, 'A Matter of Life And Death' is due for release in early September, while the first single, 'The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg' will hit the shops on 14th August.
Steve Harris says of the choice of single:
"This is a very intense album in many ways and we really wanted to go with a lead track that demonstrated that in the best way, rather than going for a shorter track on the album just to please the chart rules. 'Benjamin Breeg' is a great example of the feel of the album in its really heavy riff and lyrically it's a very dark, atmospheric and powerful song which really epitomizes what the album is all about for us. So it made a natural choice for us."
