The official site reports:Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith and former SikTh front-man Mikee Goodman have joined forces for a brand new studio project called Primal Rock Rebellion.

Videos of the performance can be seen after the jump.A Statement from Bruce
From the official site:Following the news earlier this week that Astraeus Airlines has sadly now ceased operations, Bruce has disclosed he is currently working on a number of new aviation related projects, some of which may involve his former Astraeus colleagues. One of his new ventures, which you will already be familiar with, is the upcoming Bruce Air Flight 666 Experience in the Boeing 737 Simulator.
Bruce’s commitment to his aviation career remains as passionate as ever, and he wanted to reassure all Maiden fans that this includes the continuation of the Bruce Air fan club trips and more touring with Ed Force One at some point in the future.
Bruce comments “The good news is that Ed Force One will fly again, and we have time to prepare so there should be no problems the next time we need her. In the meantime I’ll get on with the business of flying until Maiden are out on the road again!”

The Bruce Air Flight 666 Experience
From the official site:Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of IRON MAIDEN has a huge passion for flying — so much so that he is a Commercial Airline Captain and a talented originator — devising an ingenious method of converting a Boeing 757 to allow him, the band, their crew and tons of equipment to tour three times around the world in their customised plane ‘Ed Force One’, call sign ‘Flight 666’.
Not content with just entertaining fans on the ground, Bruce then instigated a series of highly acclaimed ‘Bruce Air Flight 666’ excursions, filling the plane with fans and personally flying them to and from various IRON MAIDEN concerts around Europe.
Having recently set up his own professional Aviation Training Business, Bruce is now giving his fans first call on the opportunity of experiencing the skills and thrills of flying first hand by joining him for a training session in a state of the art Boeing 737 flight simulator based at London’s Heathrow Airport!
Announcing that members of the Iron Maiden Fan Club will get first access to this unique opportunity, Bruce commented, “I can’t wait to sit in the simulator with fans and share the buzz of what it is really like to fly a modern passenger jet such as Flight 666 and all the challenges that entails”.
