Bruce Dickinson, the vocalist of the heavy metal titans Iron Maiden, has released a new video for his famous song “Tears Of The Dragon”. The video features the Brazilian ballet dancer Renata Bardazi, Bruce Dickinson and his House Band of Hell with the Almai Orchestra, conducted by Antonio Teoli. It is captured in an abandoned brewery in São Paulo with the film directors Leo Liberti and Antoine de Montremy. The video has already been shown at many film festivals around the world. It was awarded as a “Best Music Video”. The song is recorded with the orchestra and included in the reworked version of Dickinson’s classic 1994 second solo album, “Balls To Picasso”, released the previous July and titled “More Balls To Picasso”. The reworked album has two new songs, orchestral versions of “Tears Of The Dragon” and “Change Of Heart”, and improved sound.

We will see Iron Maiden on May 26th at the National Stadium “Vasil Levski” in Sofia, Bulgaria, by invitation of Fest Team.
