IRON MAIDEN: 'Different World' Video Posted Online

October 15, 2006

IRON MAIDEN's video for its forthcoming single "Different World" has been posted online at YouTube.com. The clip, which was immediately added to MTV2, will make its television debut on "T-Minus Rock" tomorrow (Monday, October 16). The show airs on MTV2 Monday through Friday at 11:00 a.m. The video will also be available for streaming on MTV2.com and via MTV wireless on Monday as well. The stunning animated video was directed by Howard Greenhalgh — best known for SOUNDGARDEN's "Black Hole Sun".

In true MAIDEN style and to satisfy intense fan demand, a series of short action-packed clips from the video were previewed via their web site, www.ironmaiden.com, the week up to Sunday, October 15 when the full promotional clip was exclusively revealed first to their fans before the worldwide premiere on Monday, October 16.

Sanctuary Records will release "Different World" as a single in the U.S. on November 14, featuring Radio 1 Zane Lowe's "Legends" session of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and "The Trooper" as B sides. These tracks have previously been used as B sides to "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", which was released in Europe in August and although it was not eligible for the U.K. chart it reached No 1 in Spain, Sweden, Finland and Hungary.

As previously reported, a 12-minute audio interview with IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson, conducted earlier this month by Meltdown of Detroit's WRIF 101.1 FM, has been posted online at this location (Windows Media).

IRON MAIDEN's new album, "A Matter of Life and Death", has sold 106,000 copies in the United States since its Sept. 5 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
