Their first track sung in Swedish since the Carolus Rex album: Here with english translation.

Here is Afraid to Shoot Strangers from Gothenburg 1995. I don't think there are any overdubs on that track either.

Actually, there were no overdubs on The The Evil That Men Do. Instead, they copied and pasted one vocal line for this track, where Blaze was able to sing the whole chorus, into the parts where it was missing:

1. The Wicker Man 2. Ghost of the Navigator 3. Brave New World 4. Blood Brothers 5. Rainmaker 6. Dance of Death 7. The Longest Day 8. Coming Home 9. The Book of Souls 10. Hell On Earth

The X Factor has been mentioned by Steve as one of his favourites, both in the Run to the Hills biography and in Blaze's own book, when he was interviewed. And there is an old forum thread quoting Janick's opinion on The X Factor (in which he seemed to share Steve's view)...

All The X-Factor B-sides, except I Live My Way, are on Spotify (and other streaming services) thanks to a digital release of everything originally included in the old Eddie's Archive box. Only Doctor Doctor is getting many plays though (by the Spotify algorithm). 4.9 million views on youtube...

I agree. And let's say, if they continue after Blaze, with a completely new singer, perhaps someone who could do the Ed Hunter Tour classics well, and then release a decent album featuring Blood Brothers and some other good songs, there was surely some upside potential, remaining at CMC (and...

Both Maiden and Bruce were on CMC International in the U.S at the time, like Jer wrote. Virtual XI did way worse than any other studio album in the catalogue, but still good enough for the band to be signed on a smaller label, I believe. I can't imagine that CMC wanted to drop them. Sale stats...

- Steve quoted on page 204, 3rd edition, Run to the Hills biography. Steve never intended to force Janick out of the band. At first, he even thought that they would look for a completely new singer and not bring Bruce back, when Blaze struggled on tour.

6:59. Those two guys (Nifelheim brothers) meet Blaze and Steve at Hovet, Stockholm, 1998. They are also pictured in the original Silicon Messiah booklet.

1. Blaze has been the singer of Iron Maiden (just like Bruce). 2. He now has his own radio show (also like Bruce in the past). 3. Next step: teach the man to fly airplanes
