IRON MAIDEN have now confirmed the release date of their much anticipated DVD release DEATH ON THE ROAD for 6th February 2006 through EMI Records. This will initially be available as a limited edition special digipack.
The DVD package contains the full performance of their 'Dance of Death Tour' in December 2003. Filmed at the Westenfalenhalle Arena, Dortmund the show has been personally edited by founder band member Steve Harris, to fully capture the magnificent stage production and to cut right to the heart and the electricity of the bands' performance. Over a four month period Steve made thousands of edits, thus ensuring he was personally happy with every single shot included!
To ensure top quality and to avoid any compromise in reproducing the very best possible sound and picture quality, the band have taken the unprecedented step of making the full concert available on two separate discs – one with full traditional stereo soundtrack and the other with specially mixed 5.1 sound by Kevin “Caveman” Shirley – which along with the special features disc makes three discs in all.
The special features disc contains an exclusive documentary directed by Matthew Amos who also directed the bands' award winning 'Early Days' documentary. It's an insight into the production of the 'Dance of Death' album from its writing and recording through to the detail in what it takes to get a massive show like Maiden on the road.
