-Maiden Mania In Sweden, Finland And Colombia As Tickets Go On Sale
For The Band's Somewhere Back In Time World Tour; Extra Stadium Show
In Finland Added

When tickets went on sale yesterday morning for Iron Maiden's three
stadium shows in Sweden and Finland the box offices were inundated and
all 123,500 tickets were quickly sold out -- over nine months in
advance of the concert dates.

The two Swedish shows, July 16 at Stockholm Stadium and July 26 at
Ullevi Stadium, Gothenburg, with respective capacities of 31,500 and
50,500, sold out in less than two and a half hours.

The show at the 41,500 capacity Helsinki Olympic Stadium on July 18
sold out in under two hours and further demand is so great that a
further show has been added in Finland at the 30,000 capacity Ratina
Stadium in Tampere on July 19. Tickets go on sale to the public this
Friday 16 November at 9.00 a.m., but special arrangements are being
made for their fan club members to buy in advance at an exclusive pre-
sale -- more information to be found at http://www.ironmaiden.com/ .

Says promoter Thomas Johansson of EMA Telstar; "We said when we
announced this tour that is was the biggest Nordic Tour by any rock
band ever and that we wanted to ensure that as many fans as possible
could get to see this amazing band. It's the first time any
International Artist of any description has played stadiums in both
our major cities, Stockholm and Gothenburg, on the same tour -- and
even this wasn't enough to satisfy the huge demand. All the 82,000
tickets were gone less than two and a half hours in these cities! The
same story in Finland with Helsinki Olympic Stadium selling out 41,500
tickets in even less time, and demand is still so high we have added a
second stadium in Tampere. You must appreciate that Helsinki has a
population of half a million so this is equivalent to selling out a
dozen Wembley Stadiums before lunch. It just goes to show just how
much people here love and respect this band. Their response to this
tour and these ticket sales are truly phenomenal. We will just have to
make the next stadium tour even bigger!!!"

Tickets also went on sale in Colombia and Phil Rodriguez, the promoter
for the show at the 30,000 capacity Simon Bolivar Stadium in Bogota,
stated that it was the fastest and biggest first day box office of any
music event ever in Columbia; "Box Office records were broken from the
very start and Maiden mania is sweeping Columbia. We sold over 12,000
on just the first day. Nobody has ever done this, it's fantastic --
this is usually a 'slow' market for ticket sales. But even though this
is the first time the band have ever played here it does not
particularly surprise us -- Maiden are just huge in all of South
America, the kids worship them. This is a massive event for the hordes
of Maiden fans here."

Manager Rod Smallwood comments; "We are delighted by the incredible
response of our fans worldwide to next year's tour. The reaction in
Sweden and Finland is overwhelming, and also in Colombia, where we
have never played before. Everywhere tickets have gone on sale so far
we have had a tremendous response at the box office. Australia, where
we haven't played for 15 years, opened up with nearly 45,000 tickets
sold, with the large arenas in both Sydney and Melbourne selling out
in less than half an hour and second shows added to both. Sales for
Wachen, Germany's major Metal festival, are at this stage well ahead
of any previous year so at least 70,000 will certainly be there. And
this last weekend we also opened up with major arena dates in Los
Angeles, New Jersey and Toronto and between them fans snapped up over
25,000 tickets within hours of the box office opening. Its seems that
this has really caught the imagination of rock fans everywhere and we
look forward to going on sale in many other countries very soon and
getting back out on the road in India at the beginning of February."

On February 5th, 2008 Maiden will release the hightly anticipated DVD
of LIVE AFTER DEATH and to tie in with this will play songs mainly
from their classic '80s albums on this forthcoming tour. The stage
production will also feature a Production based on the Egyptian themed
POWERSLAVE Tour which was featured on the original 1985 video release
of LIVE AFTER DEATH.

-Brainstorm Updates

[Note: These are from Metal Blade Records newsletters. - Tim]

Brainstorm Top Hungarian Charts!

The latest Brainstorm single 'Fire Walk With Me' topped the Hungarian
single charts and landed on an unbelievable, amazing, outstanding # 1
in its 1st week of release.

"We are speechless and want to say thank you to an amazing country and
to our amazing fans out there! Köszönöm! Magyarország -- Szeretlek!
Thank you! Hungary -- We love you!"

Stay tuned for more news on Friday on the new album cover, final track
listing and more interesting news for 2008.

Brainstorm To Reschedule Tour!

"Dear friends and fans,

"As Evergrey will not have their new album released in time, they can
not take part in the planned tour. Due to this fact, we need to
reschedule the dates for the tour that will now happen without
Evergrey. We are already discussing some very interesting special
guests but as we are sure you understand, we need some days to come up
with new dates and details.

"Todde, Andy, Mille and Dieter"

Here's what Evergrey have to state about the cancellation:

"Hello,

"Unfortunately we must infom you that Evergrey not is able to do the
planned tour with Brainstorm in March 2008. This is due to the fact
that our next album not will be ready in time to be released before
the tour. We feel it's not fair to the fans or to the promoters or to
Brainstorm to do a tour without the new album out. If the
circumstances aren't the best we shouldn't do a major tour like this.
We are sorry for any problems this may cause but we will be back soon.

"Tom, Henrik, Rikard, Jonas and Jari"

-Hatchet Sign With Metal Blade Records!

Metal Blade Records has just inked a deal with Bay Area thrashers
Hatchet! Hatchet is an onslaught of five thrash metal fanatics from
the San Francisco Bay Area; a starting point for infamous thrash bands
like Metallica, Exodus, Testament, and Vio-Lence just to name a few.
Formed by Julz on guitar and Slave behind the drum kit in January
2005, Hatchet was started as the two were fed up with the stale metal
scene in their home town. Their desire to create music filled with
substance and driving aggression would be enough to help revive a
genre that had slowly began to fade away over the years in their
hometown.

Hatchet will be playing various one off dates until they release their
new album in spring/summer 2008 and will then be on a heavy touring
schedule. Head over to the band's MySpace page to check out some
tracks to get a taste of what's to come!

"It is an honor to be working with Metal Blade, and to be a part of
the legacy of amazing artists they have worked with over the years!
Together we will help bring Thrash Metal back to the top where it
belongs!" -- Hatchet

"In a time where thrash is making an awesome comeback, we are stoked
to be working with bands that are a part of the rebirth. These guys
are young, ruthless and talented and we can't wait till they rock you
like its 1984!" -- Metal Blade

Hatchet is:
Marcus (Tormentor) - Vocal Assault
Julz - Lead Guitars
Sterling (McFly) - Guitars
Slave - Drums
Dan (Destroyer) - Bass

-Some cool (and not so cool) news to report in this installment, let
me start off by announcing that Yngwie finally has himself an official
MySpace page! Check it out and get yourself added:

http://www.myspace.com/yngwiemalmsteen

-A few Christian metal bands I did not realize were still active have
surfaced on MySpace and are definitively worth exploring if you are
not familiar (or haven't heard in awhile):

Sacred Warrior - http://www.myspace.com/sacredwarrior777
Holy Soldier - http://www.myspace.com/holysoldier
Bloodgood - http://www.myspace.com/bloodgoodband

Pay 'em a visit!

-Shok Paris have a new page at http://www.myspace.com/shokparislegend
. No indication they plan to do anything new but you never know...

-Also found a site for metal masters Warrior, take a look:

http://www.myspace.com/mcawarrior

-I don't want to go MySpace crazy but here are a trio of shredders
with new pages you need to add:

Ron Jarzombek - http://www.myspace.com/ronjarzombek
Bruce Bouillet - http://www.myspace.com/brucebouillet
Adrian Vandenberg - http://www.myspace.com/93519228

-In other news, rumors are flying about a possible Judas Priest/
Scorpions tour. I can't imagine how awesome this would be but we are
definitely still at the rumor stage at this point so don't get too
excited yet. Watch their official sites for details:

http://www.judaspriest.com/
http://www.the-scorpions.com/

-Greg Howe should have his new album completed soon and I'm sure we'll
be in for some incredible guitar playing on that one! Greg keeps his
site active with a frequently updated newsletter so get on board:

http://www.greghowe.com/

-You may have read by now that Geoff Gayer of Leatherwolf is
officially out of the band; this is a real shame because they had just
brought Michael Olivieri and Carey Howe back into the band and things
looked really good for 'em, hope they get it straightened out...

http://www.leatherwolfmusic.com/

-Also disappointing news from the Vicious Rumors camp as it is being
reported that vocalist James Rivera is out following an alleged
violent altercation involving James and guitarist Geoff Thorpe. I
can't believe it. An interview with James can be found here:

http://revolution-music.dk/audio_interviews/helstar_041007.mp3

I'm sure there will be another side to the story posted at Vicious
Rumors' official site, should be interesting:

-Cool interview with Vinnie Moore here, should have that new album
ready anytime...

http://www.getreadytoroll.com/interviews/vinniemoore.htm

-This is the first "Realm Of Shred" column I've done since attending
ProgPower USA VIII this year, and I won't go into great detail with a
review but would like to say it was as awesome as always, especially
enjoyed the performances by Pagan's Mind, Firewind, Redemption, Primal
Fear, Krucible, Raintime, Virgin Steele, Threshold and Freak Kitchen.
Unfortunately Vanden Plas were unable to play the Showcase due to visa
problems and I missed Communic and After Forever but I understand they
were killer as well. Lots of fun and I highly recommend you check out
next year's lineup and make plans to be there, IX baby!
