Iron Maiden – ‘The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg’ (EMI) Released 14/08/06

Lets face facts here, if you’ve loved Iron Maiden from the start or even if you are a new fan, you are going to love ‘TROBB’. Taken from their forthcoming 14th studio album, it is token Maiden, albeit maintaining the direction that Dance Of Death took, the epic and progressive story telling of their new single is akin to the likes of previous fan and live favourite ‘Paschendale’, Dickinson's voice is on form in all its operatic glory, the guitar lines are as crunchy and full of venom as you would come to expect from the veteran band. And the riffs…well they’re there alright, with the typical harmonizing between all three guitarists making the track a 7-and-a-half-minute rock opera about a character who incidently has had many speculations discussions and even web pages dedicated to find as to who ‘Benjamin Breeg’ really is. It's Maiden in typical flamboyant form.
