Paul Di’Anno/New York, USA 2010

Congratulations! Paul Deano is back!! Deano formed a new band ARCHITECTS OF CHAOZ in 2014 and released his debut album “THE LEAGUE OF SHADOWS” in May of this year. The sound is nothing but orthodox heavy metal, and is truly the best work since KILLERS’ “MURDER ONE”. I’m sure there are some old fans who are thrilled by the wonderful workmanship (if you haven’t listened to it yet, check it out now!). He teamed up with his bad friend Lee Hart to release a bunch of recording discs, was sentenced to prison for social security fraud, and finally announced his retirement…Dianno hasn’t had much of a story, but this time, he’s finally ready for this pleasure. I would like to see him return to the forefront with his work. Well, it’s not a celebration of Deano’s return, but this time he’s re-releasing his solo live album! This work was recorded “December 21, 2010 New York performance”. Until last year, they toured in a style that used local musicians, but this work is the American version. Because they are not a regular band, depending on the country or region, there may be a band that makes you wonder, “What is this?”, but this is the real America. New York is the world’s richest country in terms of musicians, and the entertainment capital of New York, so the backing of this work is well-versed in IRON MAIDEN and delivers a performance that injects even more youthful energy. And the song the band will play is IRON MAIDEN special. Although the songs are not in the order of the album, it is a large edition of all songs from the first “Maiden of Steel” + five songs from the second “KILLERS”. From the opening, “The Ides Of March” and “Wrathchild” are exploding. There, the band KILLERS’ “Marshall Lockjaw”, “The Beast Arises”, “The Faith Healer”, “A Song For You”, and BATTLE ZONE’s “Children Of Madness” hit the important points… This is also irresistibly happy. In recent years, Deano has clearly been promoting the title of “former MAIDEN,” but he has not abandoned his own career. It is in these KILLERS and BATTLE ZONE that his will resides. The roar of that soul is the life of this work. It’s clearly influenced by the current trends after thrash metal/death metal, and the shouts are more powerful and powerful than before, and they’re really cool! Moreover, even though he uses that roar for flavor, his voice quality is unmistakably that of “that Deano.” What a sexy thing about “Strange World”… IRON MAIDEN’s masterpieces are revived with this contrast. Yes, this is the real pleasure that you can only hear and experience if you are a “current Diano”!!! I got so excited that I ended up leaving the important things for later. The sound of this work is a stunning audience recording. The sound is so direct that you can tell it’s a small club, and it feels like you’re back in the NWOBHM era. Both the high-quality vocals and the band’s musical tones are bold and extremely powerful. In the first place, KILLERS and solo’s official live albums have a lot of cheap sounds, so this work is comparable to the official albums. Diano may have the image of “performing under his old name”, but he himself has evolved and continues to deliver masterpieces in 2015. Currently, he seems to be performing in two styles: ARCHITECTS OF CHAOZ, which is full of new songs, and solo music, which is full of IRON MAIDEN. I really want ARCHITECTS OF CHAOZ to get their activities back on track and come to Japan…This is a masterpiece live album that stirs up those feelings. Not only for enthusiasts who have been watching him for many years, but also for those who are wondering, “Are you still doing this?” Please take this opportunity to experience “Today’s Diano”!
