As previously reported, Sanctuary Records will release IRON MAIDEN's "Different World" as a single in the U.S. on November 14, featuring Radio 1 Zane Lowe's "Legends" session of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and "The Trooper" as B sides. These tracks have previously been used as B sides to "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", which was released in Europe in August and although it was not eligible for the U.K. chart it reached No 1 in Spain, Sweden, Finland and Hungary. There's a "stunning" promotional video full of animated action packed adventure to accompany the single, directed by Howard Greenhalgh. A preview image can be viewed at this location.
"A Matter of Life and Death" has sold 98,000 copies in the United States since its Sept. 5 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
