The Number Of The Beast ?
Correct!

Clue 2: In 2012 the German band Kreator made a cover version of The Number Of The Beast, 30 years after the original release.

Reflections of my walkman staring back at me
Clue 4: A reference to the album artwork of The Number Of The Beast where Eddie is Satan´s puppetmaster and vice versa.
Clue 5: The song opens with a spoken word passage, read by English actor Barry Clayton which quotes Revelations. According to Bruce Dickinson, the band originally asked Vincent Price to read the intro, but decided to hire Clayton after Price refused to do it for anything less than £25,000. Sorry for the pun.

Your turn!
