Iron Maiden release their new single ‘Wildest Dreams’ on 1st September taken from their forthcoming album ‘Dance of Death’

The single will be released in three limited edition formats, including what will be Maiden’s first ever DVD single release. The DVD will feature a spectacular fully animated video of ‘Wildest Dreams’ directed by Howard Greenhalgh (Muse, Soundgarden) with a full 5.1 Audio track.

Says Bruce Dickinson, ”Wildest Dreams is about living your life the way you want to live it. When we first heard that Howard was looking to do a fully animated video we were very excited as we were familiar with his previous work. We saw the first sketches and we knew right away that Howard had got the right feel for what the track needed, loads of energy and movement to complement the song. And we didn’t have to appear live in the video! When you first see it you think ‘Hell really looks cool’ then you look closer and then you think….’Actually maybe not!’.”

The singles also feature a new studio B Side ‘Pass the Jam’ and previously unreleased versions of Blood Brothers and The Nomad.
