Iron Maiden A Matter Of Life And Death T-Shirt
In Autumn 2006, Iron Maiden released A Matter of Life and Death.
While the album is not a concept album, war and religion are recurring themes in the lyrics throughout, as well as in the album's artwork.
A successful North American and European tour followed, during which they played the album in its entirety, a first for the band.
The band have announced that a live album recorded from this tour will be released. It was during this tour in 2007 that Iron Maiden played in Bangalore, India for the first time in front of 35,000 fans, making them the first mainstream heavy metal act to play in the country.
The band also headlined The Desert Rock Festival in Dubai selling out the festival with a crowd of 20,000.
This tour also marks the first Western Canada leg in 20 years, on which all Canadian dates sold out within a couple of days.
With the sole UK headline show at Twickenham Stadium, incredibly, this tour also marked the first ever stadium headlining show in the UK by the band.
