At last we have a winner ... well spoted Palpy

Clue #1: "When in Rome my reflection is upon four"
- VIRUS backwards is SURIV... if your divide the letters you'll get Sur IV (upon 4, because IV is 4 in the roman numerical system)

Clue #2: "Speaking of romans... fact is we are six."
- Same logic of dividing the letters on VIRUS: VI (6 in roman) R (are) US

Clue #3: "Keep your vynil, flip to play, don't you pray, but please do stray, and a lead you'll obtain."
- On This one the allusion to Phantom's verses are simply a distraction... now "Keep your vynil flip to play" is a refference to what you have to do to play a B side on a Vynil, "don't you pray" reffers to No Prayer, "Please do stray" reffers to the band Stray...
well... and the lead? If you check No Prayer's first single (Holy Smoke) It features in its B side Stray's cover ALL IN YOUR MIND (that happen to be the leading verses of the refrain from VIRUS)

Clue #4: "I'm prior to your wisemen, I'm prior to your breed, I'm prior to the first sounds of the torturing machine, I even come before the blessings of the lord, Yet I don't lie when I say I'm the youngest of them all"
- This one regards the many discs where you can find the song VIRUS. In a version of the single it comes before DOCTOR DOCTOR (wisemen) and MY GENERATION (your breed), on others it comes before some of the earliest recordings of Iron Maiden (torturing machine) and on the compilation Best Of The Beast it comes before Sign Of The Cross (blessings of the lord). And by the time it was the most recent tune made by the band

Clue#5: "I'm don't want you to die when this anecdote you read, but the voice on the pylon has no doubt that he is me"
- For Killing Joke fans (reference found in "die when this anecdote you read")... Their last album named PYLON features a song called I AM THE VIRUS.

Clue #6: "Probably you didn't saw me the countless times you passed me by, but to aid you in this quest i'll show you some of my kind: https://forum.maidenfans.com/attachments/picture-gif.7864/"
- 3 photos each one refers to a well known computer VIRUS: 1st is a photo of tennis player ANNA KOURNIKOVA, 2nd is a caption of woodkid's video clip "I LOVE YOU" and finnaly a photo of the metal band SLAMMER.

Clue #7: "I'm sure this words will ring a bell ... pay less attention to what they mean and more to what they tell: verita iustitiae revelat unitat spera
- This is where Palpy spoted it and well... the mispelled latin words and somehow cryptic and dislexical message along with the warning about the words "pay less attention to what they mean" was meant for you to search the hint somewhere else in the words... in This case it's hidden in plaint sight: if you check the first letters from each word you will get the word VIRUS.

Clue #8: "almost 20 years ago a famous mr. Smith did said about you, your kind and mine are pratically the same"
- A reference to the movie the Matrix from 1999, where agent SMITH says to Morpheus that humanity is a VIRUS.

:ok:Congrats to Palpy... it's your turn!
