IRON MAIDEN PREMIERE VIDEO FOR ‘SPEED OF LIGHT’

iron maiden

Great news to begin Friday as Iron Maiden have just premiered the video for ‘Speed Of Light’ on their official website:

Written by guitarist Adrian Smith and vocalist Bruce Dickinson, ‘Speed of Light’ is taken from their new double album ‘The Book Of Souls’ due for global release on 4 September 2015 through Parlophone Records (BMG in the USA).

The video is available for streaming free on both www.ironmaiden.com and the band’s YouTube channel.

Maiden fans can also download the ‘Speed Of Light’ song when pre-ordering The Book Of Souls on iTunes or Amazon MP3. It can also be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music.

The video was produced and directed by Llexi Leon with animation and visual effects by The Brewery Production Company. A huge Iron Maiden fan, this is Llexi Leon’s first music video.

Hella Rock Festival

Creator of the cult comic book series ‘Eternal Descent’ – an IP that digitally animated a cast list of Metal & hard rock luminaries – Leon has further expanded into the video gaming industry.

He chose to collaborate with The Brewery, whose previous film credits include 2010’s punk-rock inspired Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll with Andy Serkis, 2012’s music festival themed Spike Island with Emilia Clarke and, more recently, providing VFX for the Sky Atlantic biopic on Ian Fleming.

The video is an ‘homage’ to four decades of video-gaming juxtaposed alongside Iron Maiden’s incredible visual canon of the past 40 years, centering on their talisman, Eddie, as he travels through space and time to complete his Herculean task.

The Book Of Souls is Iron Maiden’s 16th studio album and was recorded in Guillame Tell Studios in Paris with longstanding producer Kevin Shirley.
