Brand new track taken from the “The Book of Souls” double
album due out on September 4th
Iron Maiden have just premiered the video for Speed Of Light
on their website www.ironmaiden.com 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 will be 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. 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 who’s 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 &
more recently were providing VFX for the Sky Atlantic biopic on Ian Fleming.
The video is a ‘homage’ to 4 decades of video gaming
juxta-posed alongside Iron Maiden’s 40 years of incredible visual canon
centering on their talisman, Eddie as he travels through space & 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.
