Here's an odd - and yet not so - item: String Tribute to Iron Maiden. Well, we know that Apocalyptica did cello versions of Metallica tunes (among others) so this isn't so strange, but then again....

Due on September 14, the CD features the following track listing: El Dorado / Run To The Hills / The Trooper / The Number of The Beast / Hallowed Be Thy Name / Fear of The Dark / Aces High / 2 Minutes To Midnight / Powerslave / Dance of Death. [Source: Blabbermouth, plus our own snarkiness]
