I'm quiet astonished bout one of the bands on this album: Last Disciple from Germany not just make a great version of "phantom of the opera" but also released a wonderful own song called "world turns". A little bit like savatage-style! Great thing and pretty cool musicians!

Bought the album after hearing "22 Acacia Ave" on the Mpulse Internet Charts. Great price for a 2 disc cd import package. Not the best Iron Maiden Tribute I have heard , but songs from the first couple of bands made it worth the buy. Most notable bands were Delusion and Aska.

I think this was a great effort. If you listen to the covers they were all handled in a different fashion. Some chose to play it as it was writen like Cessation of Life's killer version of "Wrathchild" and others went wild like Moksha creating a medley of various songs. Plus the original's on Disc 2 shows the real talents of these bands. I encourage people to check out the disc and check out the bands on there own.

Let's review the new Iron Maiden tribute album called Children of the Damned which has been released on Adrenaline Records. My first thought when I opened the CD was "Wow" , what a killer packaging job. This tri-fold CD -pak is filled with full-color pictures and information on the twelve bands appearing on this two-disc tribute. Unique to other tributes this release contains all original songs by the bands on disc two. Featured on both discs are Maryland's own Delusion , delivering a rockin' rendition of Iron Maiden's song "22 Acacia Avenue" , and their own song , "Feel This Way". Other mentionable performances go out to Aska for their rendition of "Flight of Icarus" and to GooseFlesh for their rendition of "Killers".
