Anyone else loving the new Iron Maiden album?
Redefining the term “heavy metal warhorses”
Double-albums can be an ambitious folly, especially in this zero-attention-span era, though in the case of the venerable Iron Maiden – whose fanbase is among the most loyal on the planet – they might just get away with the 92-minute running time of their 10th studio outing since 1980. But even if Maiden fans baulk at the endurance levels required by some of the songs here (two of which stretch to 13 and 18 minutes), it’s unlikely that the band themselves will give a toss. Like very few other metal bands, Metallica and possibly Rammstein being the only other examples that come to mind, Maiden are in a position where they can do exactly what they want.
Hence the nebulous concepts as well as the length of the songs on The Book Of Souls, an album packed with the same warfare and fantasy tropes in which primary songwriter Steve Harris has been indulging for three decades and counting. Much has been made of the number of songs co-written or wholly written by the other band-members (singer Bruce Dickinson in particular), but, frankly, you wouldn’t know the difference: with the expected galloping riffs, spiralling solos and wailing vocals, this album sounds much like any other Maiden album from their career-twilight period.

I like little bit of Pantera and Behemoth. Which Deicide albums do you have? I have their self-titled album, Once Upon the Cross.I like some.. Pantera was a good concert. Also have a couple Deicide CD's but haven't listened to them much lately. Behemoth is pretty good too.
those are the 2 Deicide cds I have too, although I did listen to Legion a couple times... I remember getting Once upon the Cross but it had a censorship baggie over it so we couldn't see the cover art. I didn't actually figure out what it was til I turned it.I like little bit of Pantera and Behemoth. Which Deicide albums do you have? I have their self-titled album, Once Upon the Cross.
Oh you'll be in LA? Maybe you'll see me wondering around. I'll be the guy with hair down to his knees.Cya @ the maiden show in April mate![]()
I also like pornogrind, a subgenre of Grindcore, which was influenced by metal
