Before they wowed Knebworth as ever with their performance on Saturday headlining Sonisphere, Iron Maiden felt it pertinent to commemorate World War 1. In traditional grandiose style Bruce Dickinson piloted a Fokker DR1 replica. The team named The Great War Display Team flew over the skies for a 12 minute display. Iron Maiden have now invited us to see what it was like to be in the cockpit with Dickinson!

Having now released umpteenth amounts of teasers for their as yet untitled new album, were treated to another one. This time the tagline that goes with it is “Succumb/To The Selfish/Creation” what exactly Slipknot are trying to do I’m not sure because I personally, think that people will be beginning to get bored of it, theres such a thing as too much drip fed information. Although sure to be a huge release,surely everyone must be thinking now we want some concrete information.

Black metallers Nachtmystium have released their first new song off their final upcoming album the appropriately titled The World We Left Behind. “Tear You Down” has all the hallmarks of the elements that we have all come to know and love from these slightly unpredictable musicians, whilst disregarding all the press Blake Judd has been through recently their new effort is shaping up to be sounding rather interesting indeed and surely shall be going out with a rather big bang. Although I’m sure all the black metallers out there shall have their corpsepaint running, its better to go out in style.
