MUSIC NEWS - Back in February 2008, British heavy rock legends Iron Maiden started off on one of the most ambitious and adventurous tours in rock 'n roll history; their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour. As part of the adventure, the band gave full access to a film crew to document their journey which resulted in the critically acclaimed, full-length documentary film, "Iron Maiden: Flight 666." The music film won the SXSW Festival Award for Best Music Documentary, and takes you along as part of the Maiden team on the first leg of the band's historic Somewhere... tour. It was shot in High Definition with thunderous 5.1 surround sound and will be touch down on Saturday, June 6, (6-6) on VH1 Classic and Palladia; MTV Networks' high-definition music channel at 9pm and VH1 at 12 midnight. The film was produced and directed by Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn for Banger Productions (who also made the award winning " Metal : A Headbangers Journey " and "Global Metal" ).

"Iron Maiden: Flight 666" is an inspirational account of the chaotic and often humorous world of a band touring the four corners of the world, giving a behind-the-scenes look at what happens on and off stage. Delivering some of the most spectacular live footage ever seen of the band, "Iron Maiden: Flight 666" will take you from Mumbai to Santiago, L.A. to Sydney, Tokyo to Sao Paolo and many major cities between. Through drama, excitement and fan pandemonium, the film is an honest and revealing portrait of one of the world's most successful rock bands. The dvd and blu ray release is set for June 9, 2009 from 7-N Music.
