Metalville Records has set May 16th as the international release date for In Memory Of, a tribute compilation honoring the late Paul Di’Anno.
Originally, the legendary frontman—who led Iron Maiden’s first two groundbreaking albums—would have celebrated his 67th birthday on May 17th this year. Sadly, in October 2023, the world lost the charismatic singer when he unexpectedly passed away at his home in Salisbury.
In Memory Of is a handpicked collection of the best tracks Paul recorded during his time with Metalville Records. The album also features two special bonus tracks never before released in physical form: Je Suis Charlie, from his Architects of Chaoz era (previously only available digitally), and a powerful live version of Killers from Wacken Open Air 2015.
Fans will also find a special treat inside the release—a booklet packed with never-before-seen photos and exclusive liner notes penned by renowned Iron Maiden biographer Matthias Mader.
True to Paul Di’Anno’s generous spirit, a portion of proceeds from each CD and LP sold will be donated to Metality e.V., a charitable organization supporting metal musicians in need.
