PAUL Di’ANNO, the iconic former frontman of Iron Maiden, releases his brand new album “The Book of The Beast” where the singer celebrates his entire career, featuring 5 previously unreleased tracks alongside re-mastered and reimagined classics from his time with Battlezone, Killers, and his solo ventures.
A standout feature of the album is the darkly reworked versions of two Iron Maiden classics. Paul is joined by former Black Sabbath vocalist Tony Martin on a haunting rendition of ‘Remember Tomorrow‘, and ‘Wrathchild‘ features original Dragonforce frontman ZP Theart on a powerhouse duet with Paul. Both recordings also guests the drums of Russ Gilbrook (Uriah Heep).
With a career that spans over four decades, Di’Anno’s influence on heavy metal is undeniable. While the first two Iron Maiden albums (‘Iron Maiden‘ and ‘Killers’) cemented his place in metal history, ‘The Book of The Beast‘ reintroduces fans to his solo work. Tracks like ‘Madman in the Attic‘, ‘The Living Dead‘, and ‘Children of Madness‘ have been meticulously re-mastered, bringing new life to these often-overlooked strong heavy rockers.
