IRON MAIDEN AND SIMON DRAKE
RAISE HELL
What happens when the Madness of Metal meets the insanity of illusion?
"Raising Hell", the most macabre musical event of all time, will take place
at a secret London venue on 28th August, when metal monsters Iron Maiden and
horror illusionist Simon Drake will combine for a very unique 90-minute
TV extravaganza.
"Raising Hell" will be beamed live on satellite to pay-per-view cable in
the USA and will also be broadcast on TV in most parts of the world. Full
details of the worldwide broadcast schedule will be announced shortly, but
will include England, Europe, Japan, Mexico and Brazil. The studio audience
will consist of contest winners from various parts of the world, combined
with members of the Iron Maiden Fan Club.
The concert marks the last Maiden appearance of Bruce Dickinson, the band
vocalist for the last eleven years. To allow Bruce to go out in style, Maiden
have teamed up with master illusionist Simon Drake to put together the most
vibrant and horrifying rock show ever staged. Appearing on specially designed
staging reminiscent of a cross between Blade Runner and Dante's inferno,
Maiden will pound out a set featuring classic cuts from their illustrious
history, from "Number of the Beast", "The Trooper" and "Run to the Hills",
through to current classics like "Fear of the Dark" and "Be Quick or Be
Dead".
Integrated into the live set will be horrifying illusions of Simon Drake.
Renowned for his past work with the cult programme "Secret Cabaret", Simon
is at the cutting edge of modern-day illusions and the dark magic arts.
Very much in the vein of metal and horror, Simon combines the extremes of
gruesome illusion with anarchic, highly individual magical skills. Besides
appearing during the band's set, Simon also threatens to implicate the band
in some of his most extreme concepts. He especially promises a fitting
finale for Bruce-possibly with the aid of Eddie-at the end of the gig.
If anyone survives the mayhem, the new Maiden line-up will tour next year.
