Design K!'s Iron Maiden CD artwork!

As a tribute to Iron Maiden Kerrang! has persuaded some of our favourite bands to record unique covers of their greatest anthems, for an exciting free CD entitled Maiden Heaven.

The tracklisting and details for this world exclusive release will be revealed next month and we want YOU to get involved too by designing the album's artwork!

Feel free to interpret the cover's concept in any way you wish by using any medium at your disposal. A K! panel will select the winner and contact them in due course. Your entry can be submitted as a high-resolution JPG (300dpi - 150mm x 150mm) and should be e-mailed to feedback@kerrang.com or alternatively, you can send in your original artwork to Kerrang! Magazine, PO Box 2930, London, W1A 6DZ, but please note it cannot be returned.

What's in it for you? In addition to having your artwork adorn the cover of this incredible album, the winning entrant will also win a year's subscription to Kerrang!.

The deadline for this competition is May 26.

Увлекательно

Неплохая заметка. Добавил в закладки. Не в каждом блоге сейчас встретишь столько интересных и полезных мыслей, которые можно применить на деле. Но понадобится еще время, чтобы осмыслить инфу. Даже сейчас, когда после прочтения текста Вашего поста, в тот момент, когда пишу комментарий, я думаю, о тех вещах, смысл которых мне теперь совсем по другому видится. Эх, что за день сегодня – полезный день.

"some of our favourite bands to record unique covers of their greatest anthems,"

This is going to be fucking horrific, isn't it? Kerrang approved bands butchering Maiden classics.

Just stick the Dance of Death cover on it.

just put a big pile of steaming shit on the cover.

that would pretty much some up iron maiden as whole and not just that album :)

Do YOU like any bands?

Or do You just go around slamming every band on this site?

Do you have nothing better to do

Posted by Eleanor | May 16, 2008 7:06 PM | Reply to this

Oh no you didnt

you have no idea how much of an influance iron maiden has made on peoples lives mate. I have been born and bread on them and i play bass bcuase of the immense influance that steve harris has put onto me without steve forming maiden you wouldnt have the inspiration for other such great metal bands. if you ever read the kerrang legends with iron maiden you would see they inspired the likes of metallica and slipknow just to name a few. If you look inside most metal cds in there special thanks irton maiden usually pops up, and its not just metal either maiden pop up in the special thanks for emo a lot and alternative to. Iron Maiden are true gods and if you want to slate them off you will be slating the entire rock comunity. ad if you wanna do that go right ahead.

Posted by sam | May 14, 2008 1:32 PM | Reply to this

covers

if it's anything like the Metallica Master of Puppets one then it'll be awesome.

Coheed & Cambria will probably defenately do 'The Trooper' as they cover it regularly live

i could also see bands these bands doing a cover

every time i die
dragonforce
avenged sevenfold
maybe even SLIPKNOT

Posted by Dave | May 14, 2008 2:18 PM | Reply to this

Are you kidding Dave? That Master Of Puppets one was horrific. I've never been more turned off by 8 minutes of Trivium.

Posted by Vanessa | May 14, 2008 3:34 PM | Reply to this

yeah but it was FREE!!

but in all fairness i agree....it wasn't awesome, it was good at best!

I'd like to add Dillinger Escape Plan and Fall Of Troy to my list aswel :P

I was thinking of entering this competition, then I saw that one of the prizes was having a years subscription to Kerrang. Like fuck I'm having a steaming heap of bullshit delivered to my door every week.

why are you on here then?

oh, you must have nothing better to do if all you have to say is negativity. You must be a great person to be around. I'd hate to be your friend (if you have any)

Posted by Dave | May 14, 2008 5:26 PM | Reply to this

I'm on here because I like Iron Maiden. Does that make any sense to you?

Great insult, by the way. Could your miniscule, incompatible brain not think of anything better?

ACHTUNG!

Mein Fuhrer should cover Nummer Of Zse Beast!

Posted by Klaus Barbie | May 14, 2008 7:12 PM | Reply to this

ACHTUNG!

Ja. Or Powerzlave. I would much like to cover a song by ze metal band Iron Maiden.

Posted by Loz | May 15, 2008 5:26 PM | Reply to this

The only good covers K! have issued was Biffy Clyro - Buddy Holly and KSE - Holy Diver..... and maybe A7X- Walk, but that was just copying the old one, but not quite as good, they didnt have the new take the other two did.

but if they get good bands (A7X, CaC, Dragonforce etc...) to play them, it should be awesome.

I've recently got back into maiden after about a year of listening to new stuff.
They are amazing tho.

this guy knows where it is at!

The Biffy cover was immense!!!

Jesus, i fucking hope Bullet For My Valentine will be involved in this bad boy!

Posted by Dave Rae | May 15, 2008 10:05 AM | Reply to this

BFMV

I don't.
I like them but hearing the Sanitarium cover was bad enough ta.

ANDYMARK!

Well the fact is, its Black Sabbath. But Iron Maiden are best.

Posted by chiran | May 17, 2008 6:40 PM | Reply to this

i don't see what the problem is with the K! covers. bullets covers were awesome A7X-walk was awesome and Trivium-Master of Puppets was awesome, i don't see why everyone on this site has to be so negative all the time

Posted by Luke | May 17, 2008 11:50 PM | Reply to this

Well

I'm going to be optimistic and say this should turn out great :)

Just because it says some of K!'s favourite bands doesn't necisarilly mean they will be emo/screamo/scene bands. K! still cares about metal lol

It would be great if the tracklisting is like the new Somewhere Back In Time Best Of Collection.

I'd love it if the following bands did covers:

Trivium
Dragonforce
Coheed And Cambria
Disturbed
Arch Enemy
Opeth
Bullet For My Valentine
Children Of Bodom
Machine Head
Chimaira

and anyone else influenced by them (:

Posted by Joelio | May 18, 2008 10:50 AM | Reply to this

Well

as much as i do like arch enemy, opeth, disturbed and machine head, all 4 of those bands would do a terrible maiden cover.

Posted by connor | May 18, 2008 1:19 PM | Reply to this

Well

Opeth did Remember Tomorrow years ago, it wasn't bad. Same for Arch Enemy when they did Aces High. But then they had a proper singer back then, not that useless cow.

Jesus, you sound awfully starstruck Mr KERRANG. Whats with the name dropping!? I'm sure Rob Flyyn shits too!?

Hello, where will the artwork be posted?

Dream Theater have been confirmed to cover 'To Tame A Land'. I'm not entirely sure after hearing them cover 'The Number of the Beast' Album because of LaBrie's voice, but since it's a non-live recording I think it should be pretty good ^^
