IRON MAIDEN Tribute Album 'Maiden Heaven': Artwork Unveiled

June 18, 2008

As a tribute to IRON MAIDEN, UK's Kerrang! magazine has persuaded 15 of its favorite bands to record unique covers of MAIDEN's greatest anthems for an exciting free CD entitled "Maiden Heaven".

The track listing and details for this world-exclusive release will be revealed next week and the CD will be available free only with the July 19 issue of Kerrang!

The "Maiden Heaven" cover artwork, which was designed by Kerrang! reader Felipe Franco of Bogota, Colombia, can be viewed below.

Franco, who wowed the judges with his contest-winning entry which depicts Eddie as a fallen angel, stated, "This is the best news! This is the second IRON MAIDEN artwork contest I've won! I won a competition earlier this year, commemorating IRON MAIDEN's first Colombian concert at Bogota's Simon Bolivar Park on February 28." He added, "Thanks for coming up with contests like this. It promotes art in the metal scene, something that goes hand-in-hand with our way of life. Up the Irons!"

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET first reported on April 27, progressive-metal giants DREAM THEATER have recorded a cover version of the IRON MAIDEN classic "To Tame a Land" for the "Maiden Heaven" CD. Also expected to appear on the album is MACHINE HEAD with its interpretation of the MAIDEN classic "Hallowed Be Thy Name".
