is the first tribute compilation to Iron Maiden and features covers from established bands such as Arch Enemy, Therion and In Flames.
Track three features former Iron Maiden lead vocalist Paul Di'Anno, who sang on the original version of the song.
8 songs were licensed by Nuclear Blast for a bonus CD included with the European version of A Tribute to the Beast, Vol.
Russian label CD Maximum issued a 2-disc version in 2003 with all 26 songs that appeared on the original Meteor City release.
It features mainly Johansson and Reinholdsson doing different genre versions of Iron Maiden songs with contributions from musician friends and acquaintances.
The intention with the tribute was to make it sound like the covers were done by a bunch of very different bands which might explain the album's left field take on some of the songs.
It is described as "a symphony that sounds perfect on every track when played on piano"[2] Recorded in early 2005 by the pianist and conductor Scott Lavender.
It is described as "our tribute to Iron Maiden, which features exclusive covers by Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed & Cambria, Trivium, Machine Head and Dream Theater" on the Kerrang!
On 18 June, Felipe Franco from Bogotá, Colombia was announced as the winner, and his entry (Eddie as an angel who has burst into flame, in a landscape of ash) was displayed on the Kerrang!
