IRON MAIDEN: Orchestral Tribute To 'Piece of Mind' Due This Month

September 9, 2006

Vitamin Records has set a September 19 release date for the IRON MAIDEN tribute album "The Hand of Doom Orchestra Plays Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind: The Orchestral Tribute". A description of the project on the Vitamin web site reads as follows:

"Amongst the dust and debris of time and trends, IRON MAIDEN stands alone. Fans readily embrace the band’s impossible-to-copy mixture of intelligent lyrics, complex music, and memorable visuals. While 'Number of the Beast' may receive the critical accolades, the follow up, 'Piece of Mind', also proves to be an undisputed masterpiece. Between exhilarating yet stark portrayals of battle and clever adaptations of literature, guitars thunder, the rhythm gallops, and Bruce Dickinson's voice soars. 'Piece of Mind' ultimately bursts with songs critical to IRON MAIDEN's career.

"THE HAND OF DOOM ORCHESTRA triumphantly performs 'Piece of Mind' in its epic entirety. The power of classical music has never been lost on IRON MAIDEN. On this album, violins, woodwinds, cello, and classical guitar combine to create immense and rich instrumental renditions of 'Revelations' and 'The Trooper'. THE HAND OF DOOM ORCHESTRA creates a symphonic masterpiece that retains IRON MAIDEN's timeless vitality."
