Maiden Heaven track listing revealed!

Following on from our 2006 Kerrang! Remastered CD in honour of Metallica's Master Of Puppets, this latest collection - Maiden Heaven - features bands covering tracks from Iron Maiden's legendary career, and will be given away free with Kerrang! issue 1219, on sale July 16.

The CD includes world exclusive performances from Metallica, Machine Head, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed And Cambria, Gallows and more!

Speaking exclusively to Kerrang!, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich told us how much respect the Bay Area thrashers have for the Brit metal masters.

"Iron Maiden are 10 per cent cooler than every other band," says Ulrich. "From their relationship with their fans, to their album covers to their stages, to their live presentation, to their photos - whatever they did was always cooler than what everyone else did! I have always had an incredible amount of respect and admiration for them and obviously getting a chance to be part of this CD feels like that has come a full circle. We played Remember Tomorrow as it was basically the blueprint for songs like Fade To Black and Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and some of the more epic ballady type of songs that Metallica had done later. We had so much fun jamming with this! We put a bit of an intro on it, to give it a bit of a Metallica stamp, and we are super pleased with how it has turned out. "

Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn is equally excited to be a part of this project.

"When I was a kid Iron Maiden were a very big deal to me and the influence they had on Machine Head has been huge," he reveals. "We decided to cover Hallowed Be Thy Name for this CD because it's just such a great song, in fact it's a classic! I just love the way the vocal line goes up and down, so dramatic."

Metal heroes Trivium, are happy to admit their own brand of heavy riffage could never have existed without Maiden's worldwide influence.

"Iron Maiden helped create what we know as heavy metal," states frontman Matt Heafy. "Their influence can be heard on classic and contemporary bands alike; their fanbase spans across the youngest and newest of heavy music recruits all the way to the diehard, life-long metal elite. We chose to play the track Iron Maiden off their first album, as the song that screamed out our love for them musically, and we knew it would be a really fun song to jam out in the studio. It was an honour to be able to play one of Iron Maiden's tracks and have the opportunity to contribute to this amazing CD. We hope everyone has as much fun listening to it as we did making it!"

Meanwhile, Avenged Sevenfold - who will be supporting Maiden at their upcoming Twickenham Stadium show on July 5 - say they are "honoured" to be part of this Kerrang!-arranged tribute.

"Maiden are by far the best live band in the world and their music is timeless," says vocalist M Shadows. "This also gives us a chance to expose this great song to some of our younger fans who maybe aren't as familiar with Iron Maiden."

UK hardcore punk rockers Gallows chose to contribute a version of Wrathchild from Maiden's Killers album to the collection.

"We're actually all huge Maiden fans and while learning Wrathchild we discovered a new-found respect for the band as musicians," says guitarist Laurent Barnard. "Some of their riffs are pretty fast and Steve Harris has definitely earned his place as a bass legend! We're so happy we were asked to be included."

The arrival of Kerrang!'s Maiden Heaven CD coincides with the band's European leg of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour - and follows on from the release of their own collection Somewhere Back In Time: The Best Of 80-89.

"Maiden much appreciate and are very flattered by all the time spent on this by a lot of great bands," says Iron Maiden's manager Rod Smallwood, "and would like to thank them, and also Kerrang!, for the honour. Thanks, everyone!"

The track listing for Maiden heaven is as follows:

01, Black Tide - Prowler
02, Metallica - Remember Tomorrow
03, Avenged Sevenfold - Flash Of The Blade
04, Glamour Of The Kill - 2 Minutes To Midnight
05, Coheed And Cambria - The Trooper
06, Devildriver - Wasted Years
07, Sign - Run To The Hills
08, Dream Theater - To Tame A Land
09, Madina Lake - Caught Somewhere In Time
10, Gallows - Wrathchild
11, Fightstar - Fear Of The Dark
12, Machine Head - Hallowed Be Thy Name
13, Trivium - Iron Maiden
14, Year Long Disaster - Running Free
15, Ghostlines - Brave New World

if the live version of Machine Head's cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name is anything to go by,then that will be the highlight of the cd.

Looking forward to hearing a full version of Remember Tomorrow by Metallica,they played part of it in 1995 at Donington.

I like how everyone moans about the bands that are on this compilation.

dicks.

you just gotta love these ignorant, arrogant people. Fot thse guys posting these stupid Napster comments (that is old news btw) and you say..."oo metallica sued their fans" well brother, if they were fans...they'd bought the damn music instead of STEALING it. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WAY MUSIC HISTORY WAS AND ALWAYS SHOULD BE? What if "filesharing" was going on when Elvis Presley was trying to make his mark huh? He wouldn't have sold a damn record because lazy, stupid, ignorant closed minded idiots like yourself would have felt that you are worthy enough to get it for free. Music is entertainment, but on the flipside...it's a business. and when there's business......there's things that have to be met. If record sales ain't up there...then bands ain't getting signed...end of story. I personally buy all my music and am damn glad that some bands have the balls to stand up against people who duplicate music that isn't theirs. As a matter of fact, I had just went to the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee 2 weeks ago to see Metallica. It was my second time seeing them...I'm a die hard fan. And me and my buddy Rantz proudly sported a homemade F*** NAPSTER t-shirt for everyone to see...and guess what buddy...they agreed...and so did the multiple thousands of people that attended. Do you really think that your ignorance will stop the metal militia? Well, it ain't happened yet and it's been 8 years since. See you in hell

i agree with you to an extent but being 37 years old i have spent my share of money on cds when they were 15 to 20 $ a piece nowadays with the price of gas and living on one income its hard to afford a new cd let alone go to a concert for 80 to 150 $ to see a show 40$ a t shirt 5 bucks for a 16 oz bottle of water dont get get me wrong i do still buy cds but i also burn them it goes both waysi understand your point though

Ignorance does not refer to the words you call someone or how you talk to them, it refers to a lack of knowledge and respect about the music industry and for the artists.

Well talking about the price acros the Atlantic.. in here gallon of gas pays 7 dollars, and it isn't even high the average in Europe :D CD's are 30 dollar piece, shows are pretty much the same price.... So in here, it is even harder. But I really think real fans BUY the CD's, its not just to make favorite band richer, but honoring their piece of art. Anyways, I'd like to see this album, not only in Kerran! but in public CD stores aswell. Don't even know if I can buy Kerrang! here :D I bet somewhere but... Anywayz :D Gonna be great album, Up the Irons!

"metal heroes - trivium" heroes my right bollock.

and avenged sevenfold? im suprised their coporate cocksmoking singer (and i use that term loosely) could drag himself away from couting his dollars that he cares so much about to be a part of this.

and lars ulrich, hypocrit much? he allws to be a part of not only the kerrang cd featuring his bands load of wank and this new pile of shit, to be given away FOR FREE yet spits his dummy out the pram and takes people to court for downloading for free, its the same damn fucking outcome!


im suprised that sheep shagging cunt matt tuck isnt whining on this collection too.

and people wonder why i get fucking mad.

Lars Ulrich

I may not entirely agree with the whole Napster saga, but this isn't the same. For a start it's not their own material, it's a cover. And I'ts not technically being given away for free as you have to pay £2.20 for the magazine first.

I think this already looks like a million times better than the Metallica cd. Heard the Gallows track the other night and it sounded very different to what the original does but at the same time it's still recognisable. I'm sure many people will disagree with me but that's your opinion i guess but i thought it was great.

Madina Lake?! Fightstar?! Gallows? And who the fuck are Ghostlines?

This CD is going to be extremely hit and miss. I think I might search online for individual tracks from this CD rather than buying into this, such is the lack of overall quality.

Excuse me?

Maiden?

I seem to recall bruce chopping his mane, and Maiden in general changing their own sound (albeit subtly) over the years, and STILL keeping the best and most loyal fan base in all of metaldom.

Faine fine fine, Melattica may have sold more records, but ask a random metalhead who's better.....

MAIDEN... MAIDEN... MAIDEN... MAIDEN... MAIDEN...

fuckin right my metal brother \m/
my fangirl issues aside, i agree that this album has the potential to be quite hit n miss.
e.g. coheed and cambria (in my opinion) dont like em that much BUT the trooper is quite possibly (after hallowed be thy name) the best maiden track in teh world.
same goes for fightstar- not my favourite band in the world (i actually prefered busted) but fear of the dark is a sweet ass tune.
P.S why the fuck hasnt anyone covered number of the beast...they have wrathchild (being made even suckier by gallows) but where the monkey christ is number of the beast?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

scotty boy......get a grip f.f.s

just because a band plays a certain style of music, it doesnt mean they dont like other bands....ie....madina lake-iron maiden

if you dont like who's on the cd...then dont f*cking listen to it...or you could just shut up....wait 'til it comes out.....listen to it and then comment...

but i guess thats just common sense

RE: ignoramus stupendous

To Shan=))
Are you really that ignorant? Do you even know the actual reason why Metallica went after Napster? OK I will explain it to you and to all the numbskull idiots who keep dragging this shit on. The reason they went after napster was because they essentially stole a track from Metallica before it was officially released and completed and made it available for everyone on the net, without their permission. Get it now? The issue was that they did not have permission, this tribute on the other hand has been endorsed by Metallica themselves hence they have the control to say yes we want this track available to people for free. Get it yet? IS this fucking shit getting through to you idiots who still cannot comprehend the basic logic of stealing and permission? I should fucking hope so, get it through your fucking thick heads already goddamn it! It is NOT the same thing when napster is taking their songs and giving it away for free without the band's permission. End of story! Damn it this shit pisses me off

madina lake

In my opinion cover versions are best when the band covering the song are in a completely different genre to the original band. The main problem i found with the Metallica CD kerrang gave away a few years ago was that Machine Head and Triviums covers sounded exactly the same as the originals just with a slightly different vocal.

Now i've already heard the Gallows cover and although there are some similarities to the original, the most part of it is given a whole new twist by Gallows Hardcore/Punk style.

I expect this will be the same with the Iron Maiden CD with the bands who are least like Maiden making the best covers.

It's just another load of Kerrang bands. The Metallica cover would probably be good, and Machine Head, maybe some of the other bands. But it won't be amazing. Kerrang already proved that their cover CDs just aren't that good.

It's... patchy sounding at best. I'll give it a go, but I'm not expecting a great deal. Then again, I've been listening to the Nativity in Black album recently, and Ugly Kid Joe did a surprisingly good cover of N.I.B. If they can sound good, so can anyone!

(I would have liked see some of Maiden's contemporaries such as Priest or Saxon on the CD. That would have been interesting.)

I think it'll be ok , metallica spend lots of well earned money in the studio , why should they give it away for free? , maybe if those whining peasants actually got a job you could buy the albums instead of ripping them off and then crying if the artist dosent like it , IDIOTS hahaha.

I haven't heard a lot of Iron Maiden, but I'm planning to and i am definatly getting this. I'm pretty suprised to see Madina Lake and Gallows on here like most of the others, but I'm pleased Metallica and Machine Head are. I'm totally undecided whether it'll be good or not, but it's not every week Kerrang! offer a free CD.

...I bet the Fightstar cover is going to be awesome. They did an AWESOME job covering Breaking the Law by Judas Priest and Lepper Messiah by Metallica. That's why they we're asked to do this too, simple really.

The two covers they've done so far we're brilliant, so let's hear the song before you judge them, yeah?

Actually...

@ Obsolete_Aztec

They went after Napster due to that, and another fact... When people get music for free off of the internet, they are depriving the music and record companies of money, therefore, eventually they won't be able to afford to make albums, then we won't have any widely distributed music at all...

Everyone get it now?

This CD has Kerrang written all over it...why can't they push other bands rather than ones that are already popular? For example, Coheed, Fighstar and ML already played the Kerrang tour, so why not let some other bands be a part of this CD? There was a great opportunity to do something truly unique and special with this but it's just doomed to be another way of making money for Kerrang.

Although, good job for getting Dream Theater involved!

Lets just be open minded i guess...love Glamour of the Kill, Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed and Cambria, pretty much most of the bands on there...Coheeds version of the Trooper is one of the best live covers so lets hope it sounds as good recorded...Fightstar will do a good cover im thinking...GOTK can bring their own sound to 2 Minutes To Midnight without making is a completely different song, i think the song does suit them as a band...the Black Tide cover will be interesting though...Machine Head and Trivium were a fucking good choice though...Can't wait to give it a listen though ;)

Madina Lake Bollocks

Hi there,

1stly what the fuck? its total bollocks, Metallica and Iron Maiden been covered by the likes of Medina Lake and Fightstar, really Kerrang that in it self is a total insult to two great rock band of our time.

why not just fucking get The Cheeky Girls to 'Enter Sandman' and lets leave it at that!

fuck sake Kerrang get our act together and stop been so commercial and money making, wheres they hard rock.

(BTW, i laughed when i read 'Fucking Sheep Shagger Matt Tuck)..lol.. he is very cute but tries too hard to be like, i mean Bullet for my Valentine tries SO hard to be like Metallica but just cant seem to shift from their 3 cords on the guitar!

Ta Ta

why is anyone moaning? are you all 14 and only care about one band, just shut up and fucking enjoy the cd when its out as its a lot of bands paying respect to the legends that are iron maiden just shows how many bands no matter how much you love or hate them are influenced by bruce and the crew, fair enough i hate madina lake but im willing to give the song a chance just to see what its like anyways back to my cave i got some emos to eat for my dinner bye

i have to say that i like some iron maiden songs and i am shocked by some of the bands that you have chosen. black tide, ,madina lake, coheed and cambria, gallows no offence to these bands but i dont think there cover will be that good, now if you had atreyu, bullet for my valentine, disturbed that would be better in my opinion. metallica or avenged will do best cover woooop

I don't care about the moaners but still. I don't mind some of the bands but I will still listen to it. Just like the Metallica: Master Of Puppets remake. Every song was awesome remake. And each of these bands bring a unique sound to these Maiden songs. I can't wait to hear this cd.

Metallica, Trivium, Fightstar, DevilDriver, Dream Theater and Machine Head can't wait to hear thier remakes!!!

Coheed & Cambria doing The Trooper is going to be the shit.

I would disagree metallica and iron maiden are equaly godly but iron maiden was inspiration for metallica so you should thank iron maiden for helping to forge the force that is metallica.

I couldnt help but noticed you forgot a lot of shitty albums on your list. Such as load and reload. Also I like metallica and megadeth equally. Megadeth is only around because metallica pissed dave mustaine off and he started a band that would rival metallica which it doesnt but is still a amazing band. And in closing
metallica = megadeth < iron maiden

Becuase they have put out 5 less records than Iron Maiden and still have managed to sell more records than them.

The reason metallica sells more albums is because they are a american band and american bands sell more than european bands in america. Also they are relatively a new band compared to iron maiden. Iron maiden was around 20 years before metallica. Metallica grew up listening to iron maiden. Also I dare you to go to england and say iron maiden sucks. I MOTHER FUCKING DARE YOU TO THOSE ARE METAL HEADS THAT WILL FUCKING BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU FOR SAYING THAT.

Idiot

Did you notice this? Atleast he can admit it "Iron Maiden are 10 per cent cooler than every other band," says Ulrich. "From their relationship with their fans, to their album covers to their stages, to their live presentation, to their photos - whatever they did was always cooler than what everyone else did! I have always had an incredible amount of respect and admiration for them and obviously getting a chance to be part of this CD feels like that has come a full circle. We played Remember Tomorrow as it was basically the blueprint for songs like Fade To Black and Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and some of the more epic ballady type of songs that Metallica had done later. We had so much fun jamming with this! We put a bit of an intro on it, to give it a bit of a Metallica stamp, and we are super pleased with how it has turned out. "

Just the Metallica Cover of Remember tomorrow will be awesome, Let alone Machine Head and Trivium.

Not heard too much of the other bands on there but who know they may surprise me. Lets face it we are all gonna be comparing them to the originals and you cant get better than Bruce, Bomber Harris and Flat nose himslef.
