Lars Ulrich, Metallica. Kerrang! team up with Metallica, Machine Head, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold and more for an a world exclusive, all star Iron Maiden tribute album! 15 of Kerrang!'s favourite bands have come together to pay tribute to the planet's greatest metal band - Iron Maiden! Following on from our 2006 Kerrang! Remastered CD in honour of Metallica's Master Of Puppets, this latest collection - Maiden Heaven - features bands covering tracks from Iron Maiden's legendary career, and will be given away free in Kerrang! issue 1219 on sale July 16. The CD includes world exclusive performances from Metallica, Machine Head, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed And Cambria, Gallows and more! Chatting exclusively to Kerrang!, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich tells the readers how much respect the Bay Area thrashers have for the Brit metal legends. "Iron Maiden are 10% cooler than every other band," says Ulrich. "From their relationship with their fans, to their album covers to their stages, to their live presentation, to their photos - whatever they did was always cooler than what everyone else did! I have always had an incredible amount of respect and admiration for them and obviously getting a chance to be part of this CD feels that that has come a full circle. We played Remember Tomorrow as it was basically the blueprint for songs like Fade To Black and Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and some of the more epic ballady type of songs that Metallica had done later. We had so much fun with this!" Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn is equally excited to be a part of this project. "When I was a kid Iron Maiden were a very big deal to me and the influence they had on Machine Head has been huge," he reveals. "We decided to cover Hallowed Be Thy Name for this CD because it's just such a great song, in fact it's a classic. I just love the way the vocal line goes up and down, so dramatic. If someone who'd never heard them wanted to know what Iron Maiden sounded like I'd point them in the direction of Hallowed Be Thy Name." Metal heroes Trivium are happy to admit their own brand of heavy tunes could never have existed without Maiden's worldwide influence. "Iron Maiden helped create what we know as heavy metal," states frontman Matt Heafy. "Their influence can be heard on classic and contemporary bands alike; their fan base spans across the youngest and newest of heavy music recruits all the way to the diehard, life-long metal elite. We chose to play the track Iron Maiden, as the song that screamed out our love for them musically, and we knew it would be a really fun song to jam out in the studio. It was an honour to be able to play one of Iron Maiden's tracks and have the opportunity to contribute to this amazing CD. We hope everyone has as much fun listening to it as we did making it!" Meanwhile, Avenged Sevenfold - who have been picked to support Maiden at their upcoming Twickenham Stadium show on July 5 - say they are "honoured" to be part of this Kerrang! tribute. "Maiden are by far the best live band in the world and their music is timeless," says vocalist M Shadows. "This also gives us a chance to expose this great song to some of our younger fans who maybe aren't as familiar with Iron Maiden." UK hardcore punk rockers Gallows chose to contribute a version of Wrathchild to the collection. "We're actually all huge Maiden fans and while learning Wrathchild we discovered a new found respect for the band as musicians," says guitarist Laurent Barnard. "Some of their riffs are pretty fast and Steve Harris has definitely earned his place as a bass legend! We're so happy we were asked to be included!" This Kerrang! Maiden Heaven CD's arrival coincides with the band's European leg of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour - and follows on from the release of their own collection Somewhere Back In Time: The Best Of 80-89. "Maiden much appreciate and are very flattered by all the time spent on this by a lot of great bands," says Iron Maiden's manager Rod Smallwood, "and would like to thank them, and also Kerrang!, for the honour. Thanks everyone!" Pick up your copy of Kerrang! issue 1219 on sale July 16 for your own copy of Maiden Heaven.

May We Never Have To Say Goodbye

May We Never Have To Say Goodbye composed by Shaun Davey for the opening Ceremony of the 2003 Special Olympics. This is a collection of still photos from a Shaun Davey Concert in Dublin's National Concert Hall with the RTE National Symphony Orchestra conductor David Brophy. Soloists include Rita Connolly vocals, Liam O'Flynn uilleann pipes, Seamus Begley Vocals & accordion, Edelmiro Fernandez Gaita and whistle, Noel Eccles Percussion, Nollaig Casey Fiddle as well as choirs and scottish pipers. 'May We Never Have To Say Goodbye', released by Tara Music in association with RTÉ, is a collaboration between Shaun Davey, the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra and the featured artists. The album takes its name from the anthem specially composed for the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Croke Park, June 2003. Performed by Rita Connolly , Ronan Tynan and no less than six Dublin choirs, this song originally topped the Irish singles charts for 5 weeks. It is presented here with the rest of the music from Shaun Davey's unique and exhilarating suite for that occasion, featuring traditional soloists, singers, choir, pipeband, percussion and orchestra, and includes Noel Eccles's spectacular percussion score, 'The Arrival of the Flag'. The Album includes previously unrecorded pieces from Shaun Davey's dramatic concert work, 'The Pilgrim', featuring the rare and full-blooded combination of bagpipes and orchestra with percussion and choir, and the unusual sound of the Galician Gaita. Sean Davey's work over the past 10 years in film will be represented by the popular and evocative song 'Fill to me the Parting Glass', composed for the film 'Waking Ned', and first performed in its new orchestral and choral version at the opening of the Helix Concert Hall, Dublin, in 2002. A magical piece, 'Music of the Spheres', from the Royal Shakespeare Company production of 'Pericles' represents Shaun Davey's contribution to theatre both at home and abroad over the past 20 years. This album represents Shaun Davey's active return to the recording of his own music, something he has missed during the past 10 years of working for Film, TV and Theatre. During this time of international success, Shaun Davey has received an Ivor Novello award for his score for the BBC drama based on the great famine, 'The Hanging Gale'. For this he also received a BAFTA nomination, another for 'Ballykissangel' [which also received a UK TRIC Award for Best UK TV Signature Theme] while his score for 'Twelfth Night' was also nominated for a second Ivor Novello award. In theatre Shaun Davey has composed many scores for RSC productions of Shakespeare, notably the 1992 'Winter's Tale' which visited Dublin on its acclaimed world tour, and 'the RSC's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', a popular Christmas production in the UK. In 1999-2000 Shaun Davey's music for 'James Joyce's The Dead' was nominated for a Toni Award while on Broadway, and shared in the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical
