Or are they gonna pull a fast one with Flight of Icarus, their other Greek song? (or only Greek song, if you ask the Macedonians)

Is that the same footage from the Death on the Road doc?

Option A. You bet I once got drunk and dug up the Maiden England 2012 tour speculation thread to bask in the decade-old underwhelm-ment, and that I got my hopes for RFYL way too far up by the combination of the tour poster and the name of the book. Hell, I'd even sit through 15 Wrathchilds or...

With all the other music I've listened to over the years (thanks mum and dad), I figured I'd have a crack at this. In the interests of maximising musical diversity and little crossover as possible wth my metal-inclusive list, I have imposed a strict No Leather Jackets policy for artists on this...

Bruh

Reading back though this, I was inspired by @Diesel 11 's idea for a 21st century companion to RFYL. As such, here's my take on . . . Your Time Will Come tour 202X - If Eternity Should Fail (without the necropolis outro) - Speed of Light - These Colours Don't Run - Montsegur - When the Wild...

Given that the Legacy of the Beast tour had one of the highest concentrations of POM songs of any tour, combined with the renewed cultural relevance of Dune around the same time (thanks to Villeneuve's re-adaptation), I figured a small tweak was in order: A Piece of the Beast tour 2020 - Where...

I Dunno. Blaze, Nicko, and Dennis doing Wrathchild would be fun

The Virgin Steele listening has continued, now with the early material. A bit more of a standard USPM sound, albeit with plenty of keyboard noodling, this is exactly the sort of music that could've appeared in Heavy Metal had the timings been a little different. Similar basic vibe to Manowar...

So I've been listening to a lot of Virgin Steele lately. Specifically the *House of Atreus* albums from 1999 and 2000, which between them contain 3 discs of Greek mythology in concept album form. They are insanely bloated with random instrumental interludes, but the songs themselves are...

At the time, I was all primed to give Abyss every award under the sun prior to its release . . . but a couple of weaker tracks in the middle cost it to me. Conversely, the sheer novelty of getting a new BOC album in 2020 was matched only by its surprisingly high quality. Highlights include the...

I would like to take this opportunity to plug some cheesy Italian power metal that has been overlooked in this game:

@Mosh Any chance of recording the Apex vote I would've cast had I been awake at 5am?

Surely Apex is the default choice here?

I still don't get why everyone went nuts for Magma back then. I have tried, and I just don't get it. The Holographic Principle, on the other hand, was great. The Swedish drinking bands also deserve a vote.
