sadly summer is soon over and guess what, dream theater and iron maiden both release the new albums on the 29th of august. how sick is that?

first about the 'score'. it a 20th anniversary concert, awesome live show with orchestra too. the thing about dt lives is that they get better. a lot. they play really powerful music on the concert from the six degress of inner tubrulance, which i personally always thought to be most complete music. it just fills everything. i simply cant wait. preorder check, day freed to only wait the postman check.

a matter of life and death.. well i didnt have high hopes for it, just another release. but then it all changed a few days ago. i got my hands on the 2 leaked singles which totally amazed me. these guys dont get older, just better. very massive music, excellent lyrics. oh and they added some mystery with the track titles. plus the album cover, it gets creepy mystery. plus the theory that goes on about him on forums.. ^^

i dont know which one would i listen first. only time will tell

lets start a countdown? lets!

going frustrated...

paritosh writes: Benjamin Breeg Benjamin Breeg was born in London on September 3rd, 1939. After the deaths of his parents in a house fire in September, 1947, Breeg was sent to an orphanage in the East End. The cause of the fatal fire, to this day, remains unexplained. Breeg himself was present in the house at the time but escaped unharmed. He was a bright child but very solitary, prompting one of his carers at the orphanage to state: "He has the demeanour of a child who seems to bear more weight upon his shoulders than any person should. What goes on behind his eyes makes one wonder what's troubling him." As well as his academic interests, Breeg also became interested in The Bible and expressed a desire to join the clergy. Breeg was fostered by three families between 1947 and 1950 but each time, he was returned to the orphanage, unable to settle in any of the new homes that had offered to raise him.It was on his tenth birthday in 1949, that he began to experience nightmares that he himself later described as "the most vile and tortuous I have ever endured." Despite this, he went on to develop incredible talent as an artist and produced a large number of drawings, sketches and paintings. However, none of these survive and are believed to have been destroyed by Breeg himself. To this day, no one knows why. The subjects of these paintings, however, supposedly caused great consternation and distress among those who Breeg allowed to view them. The verdict of one close friend who saw some of Breeg's work is as follows: "He says he paints what he sees. If this is true, I can only thank God I have no window into his mind." Breeg's first job on leaving the orphanage, in 1954, was at a local Undertakers, where he was given the task of engraving headstones. His interest in the Bible had by now turned into what a colleague deemed to be "obsessive". He lived alone and little is known about his life between 1955 and 1959 other than that his interest in joining the clergy diminished. His obsession with the Bible, however, did not. Breeg travelled widely between 1960 and 1970, visiting many different countries. Living for two years in Haiti before travelling to Eastern Europe where he lived between 1966 and 1969. He was forced to flee from Romania in 1969 following local Police investigations. He returned to England in March 1971. Upon his return, he was offered a position with the International Institute of Paranormal Investigation which he accepted. Breeg wrote four books between 1971 and 1977. None of these, as far as can be ascertained, remain in print. All, however, concern the sights and cultures Breeg experienced while travelling. The emphasis in all four volumes is on the Occult practices of the countries visited. Benjamin Breeg disappeared from his home on June 18th, 1978. All efforts to locate him proved unsuccessful.

Iron Maiden started in 1975. However their first album, Iron Maiden, was released on April 14, 1980. From http://www.benjaminbreeg.co.uk/: "Benjamin Breeg disappeared from his home on June 18th, 1978" Subtract the 2 dates and you get 666 days. :-)

The sin of a thousand souls. Those are his/our sins and thousand souls/lifetimes of reincarnation. Your sins/errors weigh you down to this world to bring you back lifetime after lifetime. You need to be saved from yourself. Hell for people who believe in reincarnation, is to come back to this earth to suffer for the sins of the past.

Psycho writes: Benjamin is a fictional character used to promote iron maiden, the stories that he is eddie, is a lie, if anyone has 'the reincarnation of benjamin breeg' album, look at the cover, what do you see? Eddie diggin up breeg's grave of course, so how can breeg be eddie? The stories of breeg were made by bruce dickinson, as talented as his writing is, he made one mistake, setting breeg's missing date as 666 days before the release of IM's first album, that made it obvious that it was a fake, and that it was to promote iron maiden nevertheless, rock on ironmaiden, no matter how old they get, their music shall never wither, LONG LIVE IRON MAIDEN!!!

He is the prophet himself reincarnated and living through war, which is the form of hell that his continually reincarnated soul must endure. War after war in every era. All the wars he could foresee in the past he now has to live through. Pretty wicked if you ask me!

On the head stone is carved the following text in romanian: "Aici zace un om despre care nu se stie prea mult" -translated into english, it sounds like this: "Here lies a man that nobody knows to much about". I love the Beast! I grew up listening to Maiden; they are the best! Vio from Romania
