IRON MAIDEN Bassist Releases ‘Us Against The World’ Video

“Us Against The World“, the new video from IRON MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris, can be seen above. The song comes off his first-ever solo release, “British Lion“, which sold around 3,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 3 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

“British Lion” was released in the U.S. on September 25 via Universal Music Enterprises (UMe). Mixed by Kevin Shirley — whose credits include IRON MAIDEN as well as Led ZEPPELIN, JOURNEY and RUSH, among many others — the CD, which features Harris alongside vocalist Richard Taylor, guitarists Graham Leslie and David Hawkins and drummer Simon Dawson, presents a different side of the bassist’s musical visions.

KREATOR Guitarist Interviewed By Slovenia’s PROFANITY TV

Profanity TV conducted an interview with guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö of German/Finnish thrash metal veterans KREATOR before the band’s November 21 concert at Cvetlicarna in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

On November 9, KREATOR released a new seven-inch single, “Civilization Collapse” (retail version: black; Nuclear Blast mailorder-only version: red, yellow, white) and as a digital download.

The single contains the title cut backed by the non-album track “Wolfchild“, which was featured on the “Dark Symphonies – A Tribute To John Sinclair” album, released this past September in Germany via Lübbe-Audio.

The band also made a video for the song “Civilization Collapse“, which is said to be “mainly about the riots that took place in Greece most recently.”
