IRON MAIDEN - Who Is Behind The Hidden Track On Metal Hammer Greece's Beast Over Greece Compilation?
December 17, 2012, 11 years ago
Beast Over Greece is Metal Hammer Greece's compilation CD which features Greek bands covering tracks from IRON MADIEN's legendary career. The CD is being given away free with Metal Hammer Greece, issue 337, on sale now.
But you might have wondered who's behind the track No.66 which is a cover on Iron Maiden's title track. Well, it's a band called GENGHIS KHAN AND THE ANCIENT MARINERS. This one-off project was created and disbanded within three-four hours and it's consisted from editors / writers / Maiden maniacs of the magazine.
Metal Hammer Stated: 'After we listen to the other tribute songs in the album we got jealous and we decided to show our respect to Maiden as well. Here is some footage from the recordings:
Says Metal Hammer Greece: "Iron Maiden's music is divine. The whole heavy metal universe humbly worships their magnitude and so do we. Metal Hammer Greece decided to release the compilation, Beast Over Greece, along with its December issue, in order to honor the legendary Brits. Some of the most important Greek bands contributed in the creation of the CD and the final result is absolutely amazing. We are very happy to present you some of the best metalmusic ever written with a Greek twist! Enjoy!"
