Iron Maiden released the first music video from their upcoming new album last week. 'Speed of Light' is the straight-ahead rocker, ad a small taste of what's coming from the band on 'The Book of Souls'. It's a cool video featuring their mascot Eddie, in different video game styles, covering 40 years of Maiden and gaming.

The guy behind the video Llexi Leon, has released some cool albums of his own, with comic books, called Eternal Descent, and there's some great stuff there. Getting the chance to work with Maiden has been a big thing for him, and he did a fantastic video, featuring lots of different animation styles.

In the above video, Llexi talks about the ideas, the design, and what they wanted to do, and you get to see some cool shots as they were being worked on. You see the whole 8-bit, 16-bit, and high-res gaming stuff they built.

I love behind the scenes stuff. It's cool to see how things are made. Enjoy!

Here's the video, in case you missed it last week!
