PYROTEK Adds A 'Blast' To IRON MAIDEN Tour

April 7, 2008

LiveDesignOnline.com reports that IRON MAIDEN's Somewhere Back in Time world tour is bringing back some of the band's classic looks with a touch of new effects. VP of Pyrotek Special Effects, Lorenzo Cornacchia, worked with IRON MAIDEN's production manager Dick Bell to incorporate the pyrotechnics into the show design. Cornacchia explains, "The request from the band was to implement a fuller and thicker look of effects while adding in some new aspects of pyro to the show. Between the selection of songs played and the stage set we really focused on re-acquainting the classic '80s look." Lighting designer Robert Coleman synchronized the lighting.

Pyrotek came on board to start the second lag of the North American tour. Shooter Keith Maxwell, along with pyrotechnicians Renato Salmon, Gary Bishop, and Eric Mucho implemented the design into fruition. Working together with production manager Jason Dante and stage manager Bill Conte, Pyrotek became involved during the last three shows in Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto.
