wrong guesses: Moonchild / Sea of Madness / The Man of Sorrows / Fates Warning / Sign of the Cross / The Apparition / Wasting Love / The Great Unknown / Total Eclipse / No Prayer for the Dying / Hallowed Be Thy Name / Revelations / Afraid to Shoot Strangers / Dream of Mirrors / Deja-Vu / Blood Brothers / Killers / Tailgunner / The Aftermath / Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter / Massacre / The Clansman / Can I Play with Madness / Journeyman / Como Estais Amigos / Mother of Mercy / Flight of Icarus / The Edge of Darkness / Run to the Hills / The Unbeliever / The Talisman / Speed of Light
 
yup.... I think I got it:

1- The sun shines in the sky
2- "Raze a city, build a living hell"
3- "Holy father we have sinned"
4- "it's evil twin"
5- a node to the "Fallout" video game series?
6- "Unholy union"
7- "Listen for the tolling of the bell"
8- "Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns"
9- sunlight takes 8 and half minutes in average to reach earth, so 526 secs isn't far from that
10- self explanatory

yep.

clue #1: "i'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town..." => this one can work two different ways: i) a metaphorical description of the devastation brought by nuclear warfare, ii) it's a lyric from a Taylor Swift song called "Dear John", which links back to the dear john letters that were very common during wwii.

clue #2: "a volcano erupts and sweeps a town away" => another metaphor for the destruction caused by the explosion.

clue #3: the Lord's prayer => "and forgive us our sins/trespasses" => "Holy Father, we have sinned".

clue #4:
=> a film about doppelgängers, also referred to as evil twins.

clue #5: brains, guts, video games... then what? => Piece of Mind, The X Factor and Virtual XI are the first three Maiden albums that don't have a title track. the next one would be amolad.

clue #6: unholy bastards => "we are not the sons of God".

clue #7: for whom the bell tolls => "listen for the tolling of the bell".

clue #8: out of the shadows... kinda => "out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns".

clue #9: 526 seconds => the song (on iTunes and Spotify, at least) is 8:46 minutes long.

clue #10: speed of light => e=mc²

your turn, Jer.
