Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

New clue coming, and I have also corrected the bad phrasing of clue 2.

Clue 1: A Maiden B-side provides links to this next song you're trying to guess. One such link is through a book.

Clue 2: The chorus of the song has a line which is also the name of a song by a band that has shared stage with Maiden.

Clue 3: In the lyrics you will find a Slayer song, a record label, and a US 70s punk band more influential than successful, who sang about their home city.

Clue 4: Thematically, the song has quite a few counterparts in the Maiden catalog, but not really on the album on which it was released.



Slaughtered with wrath and despise: Killers, Quest for Fire, Charlotte the Harlot, Sun and Steel, Wasted Years, Running Free, Paschendale, Gangland

Clue 6:
The song is found on more than one Maiden release, of which one has some atypical traits if we look at Maiden's overall release history.

Clue 7:
The inspiration behind the song is probably manifold, but inspiration can definitely be found in a film, which in turn was inspired by a work of literature. Within this work of literature, a Maiden album title can also be found in a quote. The name of the work of literature in question is also the last (stage) name of a rock singer who fronts a band that has been inspired by Maiden and was on a festival bill with Maiden a few years ago.
