BMG will continue its reissues series of the IRON MAIDEN catalog with the second set of digipak CD titles in "The Studio Collection - Remastered", to be made available on March 22. Check out a newly released trailer below.
Following on from 2014/2017's black vinyl releases and 2015's "Mastered For iTunes" project, "The Studio Collection - Remastered" features recordings taken from the same remasters as the 2015 hi-res digital releases. The albums supersede the previously available studio catalog and all titles will also be made available on streaming platforms.
As a bonus for collectors, one CD from each batch of releases will also be optionally available in a specially artworked box featuring a 1:24 scale figurine and exclusive patch. In the March 22 batch, this will be "Somewhere In Time".
MAIDEN founding member and bassist Steve Harris says: "We've wanted to revisit these for a long time and I was delighted with the remastering we did in 2015. I thought it was the best that our albums have ever sounded and it was only right that we made them available on CD now too."

All 90,000 tickets to the IRON MAIDEN-headlined "metal night" of this year's Rock In Rio festival sold out within two hours after they went on sale Thursday night (April 11). After a metal-free festival at City of Rock in 2017, the Rock In Rio organizers announced a whole day dedicated to this musical genre. It will be a revival of the first edition in 1985, when the nights with these heavy metal bands brought over 300 thousand people to the event. Thirty-four years later, with the headliner Brits IRON MAIDEN, the Germans from SCORPIONS, the Americans from MEGADETH and the Brazilians from SEPULTURA, Rock In Rio promises another memorable night on October 4. Rock In Rio 2019 will take place on September 27, 28 and 29 and October 3, 4, 5 and 6 of 2019, in the City of Rock, at Barra da Tijuca. For Roberto Medina, president of Rock In Rio, announcing the metal night was a way to honor this metal community that, in 2017, wasn't represented.

Guitarists Thomas Zwijsen and Ben Woods have launched a video for their flamenco-style version of Iron Maiden's Aces High. It's taken from the pair's Master Guitar Tour album. The dynamic duo describe their cover as a "Nylon Maiden/Flametal version arranged for two Classical Fingerstyle / Spanish Flamenco guitars." Zwijsen and Wood have racked up over 20,000,000 views on YouTube for their acoustic arrangements of famous rock and metal songs by bands like Maiden – including Zwijsen's version of Blood Brothers with vocals by former singer Blaze Bayley – plus Metallica, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and more. The pair become the latest in a long line of musicians to produce unusual variations of Aces High, including a folk version by Steve 'N' Seagulls and a take by Guy Fist produced using hand farts. Master Guitar Tour tracklist. 1. I Want Out (Helloween) 2. Wasted Years (Iron Maiden) 3. Bird Of Prey (Woods) 4. Sofia (Woods & Zwijsen) 5. The Unforgiven (Metallica) 6. Motorbreath (Metallica) 7. Tears Of The Dragon (Bruce Dickinson) 8. Holy Wars (Megadeth) 9. God Gave Rock ‘N Roll To You (Kiss) 10. Flash Of The Blade (Iron Maiden) 11. Estuary (Zwijsen) 12. Dusk At 7 (Woods) 13. Aces High (Iron Maiden) 14. Tango On The Edge Of The World (Zwijsen)

What does Corey Taylor think about Slipknot's new live show? And what does it have to do with Iron Maiden?
Well, the frontman seems to think the band's stage show behind We Are Not Your Kind is what Slipknot have always strived to achieve in a live performance setting. And, as Taylor himself all but admitted, the bar for memorable concert displays was raised long ago by the gargantuan stage setups of English metal icons Iron Maiden.
In fact, as the Slipknot vocalist recently revealed during a special Download Festival episode of BBC Radio 1's "Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter" (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), the group's concert rigs for this summer owe a creative debt to Maiden's forward-thinking live gigs.
"The show looks amazing," Taylor said. "Not only is it interactive — there's video, there's fire — but the whole set looks like an industrial complex. This is our attempt to create some Iron Maiden stuff, which is something we've been trying to do for a while."
