Bruce Dickinson: in arrivo “Scream for Me Sarajevo”

Comunicato stampa (BMG Italy): 

BRUCE DICKINSON – in arrivo “Scream For Me Sarajevo”

“Scream For Me Sarajevo tocca punti al di là di ogni confine di ogni documentario e genere musicale” – Nick Ruskell, Kerrang!
“Il più toccante ed emozionante film che abbia visto negli ultimi anni…una vera storia di trionfo!” – Paul Anthony, Planet Rock
“Uno straordinario e profondo film che evidenzia l’incredibile e indescrivibile potere della musica, che riesce a dare speranza e gioia alle persone nei momenti più bui. E poi, ovviamente, la colonna sonora è fantastica!” – Dom Lawson, Metal Hammer UK

Durante il più lungo assedio della storia della guerra moderna, l’assedio della capitale bosniaca Sarajevo, tra colpi di mortaio e granate, una band heavy metal accettò di suonare un concerto…
“Scream For Me Sarajevo” è la storia di uno dei concerti più inverosimili, la storia di Bruce Dickinson e dei suoi Skunkworks che nel 1994 eseguirono uno show indimenticabile rischiando la loro stessa vita nel pieno caos della guerra. Il film include sia il concerto di Bruce Dickinson che un documentario sulla guerra e sulla vita dei cittadini sconvolti dall’assedio serbo-bosniaco e sarà pubblicato in DVD, Blu-ray da Eagle Vision mentre la colonna sonora sarà disponibile in CD, 2LP e digitale tramite BMG Records, previsti entrambi in uscita il 29 giugno 2018.

The film is far from a straight concert movie and provides an insight into a wider story of the people of Sarajevo taking drastic measures to endure the privations of war and pushing the boundaries to survive. It reflects a thriving underground arts community who were living their lives in the shadow of war and making music in the face of devastating loss, and the huge impact the concert had on the people of Sarajevo at a time when they thought they had been forgotten by the rest of the world.  
This must-see documentary includes footage of the gig and the war itself, as well as recent interviews with Bruce and his bandmates.  The documentary also follows Bruce making an emotional return to Sarajevo, “War turns the world on its head, but this is an optimistic message”.  Speaking of his experience Bruce said, “It changed the way I viewed life, death and other human beings”.*
In addition to the film’s release, via Eagle Vision, the music from the film is being released on CD/double LP via BMG. 
Comprising music from the film which spans Bruce Dickinson’s solo career, the album features the rarities ‘Acoustic Song’ (previously only available as a bonus track on the 2001 Best Of Special Edition), ‘Inertia (Live)’ (previously only available as a bonus track on the expanded re-release of ‘Skunkworks’ in 2005) and the album closer ‘Eternal’ (previously only available as Japanese bonus tracks on ‘Tyranny Of Souls’).
