PAUL DI'ANNO: Ex-IRON MAIDEN Vocalist Returns To Israel After 10 Years For A Single Show In Tel Aviv
September 17, 2014
So after the war and plenty a lot of cancellations of a number of foreign artists, Progstage Productions, following their recent flow of productions, revamp the old feel of plenty of live action back to the Israeli public with a large variety of concerts ever.
This time the beast returns to Israel, a true legend, Paul Di'anno, the original lead vocalist of the British Metal icon IRON MAIDEN, will be heading to Israel for a single one show only which will be on December 3rd at the Barby Club in Tel Aviv.
Progstage Productions stated: "For those who are less familiar (at least for some of you out there), Di'Anno, who appeared twice in Israel in 2004, exactly 10 years ago, for two unforgettable shows, was the lead vocalist for the first two albums of IRON MAIDEN, "Iron Maiden" and "Killers" and the one who whose voice immediately identified with timeless songs such as "Killers", "Running Free", "Charlotte The Harlot", "Warthchild", "Murders In The Rue Morgue", and others. After departing from MAIDEN, Di'Anno went on an extensive career within the British Metal scene with bands such as KILLERS, BATTLEZONE, and PRAYING MANTIS. Altogether, along the fairly busy bee road, he was able to conjure up several solo albums under his own name.
Di'Anno hails to Israel in the framework of his world tour that will be devoted entirely to IRON MAIDEN's early songs in which his best of performances will be released under a new offical DVD following the name of "The Beast Arise"."
As was stated by Progstage, Every Metalhead knows who Di'Anno is, and if not, so at least one knows the name IRON MAIDEN. Before he was fired from the band, Di'Anno formed himself a sort of an iconic status and continued to other projects. Even so they were at the start, before "Number Of The Beast" and "Powerslave", the albums that he was featured in contain a few of IRON MAIDEN's first greatest hits that have been accompaning the band nowadays.
Sinking into the British venture, post IRON MAIDEN, Di'Anno started his self-titled band, DI'ANNO. In 1984, the band released the self-titled debut, a sort of a Glam Rock / AOR album along with various of famous covers. However, that part of Di'Anno's career have always remained a sort of an engima as these solo efforts just came and went. Already in 1985 DI'ANNO formed BATTLEZONE. The band managed to reach a little success with four by the book tradtional Heavy Metal albums until the end of the eighties, when it was decided on the dissolution of the band. The band made a comback in the late 90's but that didn't last long either.
In the late 80's, Di'Anno formed one of his most familiar bands, KILLERS. KILLERS made Di'Anno's change of secenery between the UK and the US. Starting from a recorded South American tour that also featured peak members of the NWOBHM scene in the UK, and then towards studio albums that introduce a rougher edge of tradtional Metal along with the 90's sense of American groove, KILLERS introduced, at least on its last moments in the mid 90's, a different side of Di'Anno's nature.
After all of those projects, Di'Anno finally released his first album, under the title of Paul Di'Anno, as a solo artist, "The World's First Iron Man", which included some covers and came out in 1997 and afterwards there were also a few releases under his name.
Nowadays, Di'Anno continues to be a solo artist and performing his greatest hits in live shows, and especially his IRON MAIDEN era songs. In the meantime, he is also working on a brand new album with a brand new band that called ARCHITECTS OF CHAOZ.
Back in 2004, Di'Anno preformed in Israel for the first time in Heavy Metal Monsters Festival in Tel Aviv and Haifa, alongside local Hard N' Heavy bands CROSSFIRE and LOUD N' CLEAR. His both shows brought about a thousand people that came and enjoyed Di'Anno's endless jokes and a lot of his greatest hits.
This year, December 2014, a decade after Heavy Metal Monsters Festival, Paul Di'Anno and all of his experiment in the last 20 years returns to Israel with all the power. So if you are fans of KILLERS, BATTLEZONE, IRON MAIDEN, or Di'Anno himself, this is a show for you guys. So don't say later that we haven't said so, the legendary Paul Di'Anno is back.
