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!

Who is Benjamin Breeg?
By anonymous user, # 12. April 2007, 09:42:12
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.

The story posted on 29th April 2007 is not true. It was a gimmick fictional tale and the final 'chapter' was made to coincide with the release of the single 'The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg'

"whats creepy is that iron maiden got together 666 days after benjamin breeg went missing..."
"what the hell are you talking about? they got together in 1975 or something."
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. :-)
