The following is a brief excerpt of a diary entry from IRON MAIDEN manager Rod Smallwood, dated April 15th, 2007, courtesy of MaidenNorway.com and Maidenfans.com:

"Up at 9 and went through all the outstanding emails then set off for a recce with Dave P, our photographer John MacMurtrie, Rachel from EMI here and Scott and Sam. Scott and Sam are the Canadian guys behind Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. If you haven't see it you should check it out -- it's the most intelligent documentary I have see on metal, made by real fans of the music. It was very successful and also had cinema release in many parts of the world besides being a DVD and won many awards. They are now making a follow up on the international aspects of metal so we are helping them shooting some live and interview stuff here and in India. They already took some footage in Japan last October. Many bands new and established are featured and I think it will make very interesting viewing. They were telling me about an interview they did on the Great Wall of China with a Chinese/American guy born in the States who took metal to China for the first time starting a band called the Tung Dynasty there and he now lives (and tours) in China selling loads of records there. A fascinating insight in how metal fans get of their arses to achieve things. Will be well worth seeing when it comes out probably early next year I think."
