PAUL DI’ ANNO – “SOLDIER OF FORTUNE”

by MythofRock

Paul Di’Anno ‘Soldier Of Fortune’ is released as a single and lyric video. The song is part of the new compilation ‘In Memory Of’, which will be released on 16 May on Metalville Records.

With his cover version of the Deep Purple classic, Paul Di’Anno delivered one of the strongest vocal performances of his long and varied career. The song originally comes from the 2015 studio album ‘The League Of Shadows’, which Paul recorded with his former band ‘Architects Of Chaoz’ and which earned praise from fans and critics worldwide.

On 17 May this year, the frontman of the groundbreaking first two Iron Maiden albums should have celebrated his 67th birthday. Unfortunately, we received the bitter news last October that the charismatic singer had passed away unexpectedly at his home in Salisbury.

The compilation ‘In Memory Of’ has now been released in memory of Paul Di’anno.

The album is a selection of the best songs that Paul recorded during his time at Metalville Records.

In addition, ‘In Memory Of’ contains two bonus tracks that have never been released in physical form before. ‘Je Suis Charlie’ is a track from Paul’s “Architects Of Chaoz” phase, which was only released digitally at the time. ‘Killers’ is a live version from the Wacken Open Air 2015.

The previously unpublished photos contained in the booklet and the liner notes written exclusively for the album by internationally recognised Maiden biographer Matthias Mader are a special added value for fans.

Paul Di’Anno was also always a person who, despite his own health problems, was concerned about the well-being of others and took a corresponding interest in their fate.

To honour this in the spirit of the unforgotten artist, part of the proceeds from the sale of every CD and LP of ‘In Memory Of’ will go to the charitable organisation Metality e.V.
