Music 4 mixed the audio for Iron Maiden's "A Matter of Life and Death" DVD.

Music 4 edited and mixed the various interviews and behind the scenes glimpses of the music being made during the recording of their 14th album.

A Matter of Life and Death is the 14th studio album by English heavy metal band, Iron Maiden. It was released on 25 August 2006 in Italy and in Finland, 28 August worldwide, and 5 September in the United States, Canada and Japan. It is the first album in Iron Maiden's almost 30 year career to enter the U.S. Billboard charts in the top 10, and has seen significant chart success in many other countries.

While the album is not a concept album, war and religion are recurring themes in the lyrics throughout the album, as well as in the album's artwork.

In addition to the standard CD release, A Matter of Life and Death was also released in a limited edition version which contains a bonus DVD. The DVD, which has a total runtime of nearly one hour, contains a half-hour documentary plus videos and photos all shot whilst the band were making the album. The documentary "The Making of A Matter of Life and Death", directed by Matthew Amos (also director of The Early Days and Death on the Road DVD documentaries), features candid video footage shot largely by Kevin Shirley himself during the recording of the album to give a behind-the-scenes look at life in the studio. The bonus DVD also features the full 7:21 minute video promo for "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" and a special intimate filming of the band recording "Different World" in the studio.
