Maiden United is by far the best and at the same time most interesting tribute band of Iron Maiden in the whole world. That is of course, my own personal assessment but everybody who was present during the band’s recent string of shows in Greece surely shares the same opinion. As for the rest, let’s just say that Maiden United is a band that covers with its own unique, acoustic way classic Maiden songs breathing a much needed fresh air to a well-covered and sung bunch of metal anthems. In addition, the sheer presence of Damian Wilson (Threshold), Ruud Jolie (Within Temptation) and Joey Bruers guarantees a qualitative result!

“Across The Seventh Sea” is Maiden United’s sophomore effort and like the debut, once again the result is spectacular. Wilson’s voice is phenomenal and it is an absolutely fantastic feeling to listen to some of your favorite songs without being…butchered by experimental musicians. “Children of the Damned”, “Flash of the Blade” and “Infinite Dreams” are the standout moments of a stunning record like this one. Visit the ban’d site and buy the album…you won’t regret it! Up The Maiden United!

Highlight: The word is out that Maiden United will visit once again Greece in 2013…we will be there once again!
