Ok - I figured clue 1/2 refer to Godsmack's "I stand alone", released 10 years after Alice In Chains' Dirt (featuring the track God Snack). The soundtrack stuff also fits

Still none the wiser, and having run out of "stand alone"-references in Maiden's lyric book, it's back to the drawing board

There it is.

Clue #1: A lyric from this song echoes the title of a hit single by another metal band from the early 2000s - The lyric is “when the world has fallen and we stand alone”, and the song from the other band is “I Stand Alone”.

Clue #2: (Extra context on clue #1) This other band’s hit single was on the soundtrack to both a movie prequel and a video game sequel, and the other band shares its name with a song from a famous grunge band’s album that came out 10 years before this other band’s single - “I Stand Alone” by Godsmack was released in 2002 and appeared on the soundtracks to The Scorpion King and Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within, and “God Smack” was a song from Alice In Chains’ Dirt from 1992.

Clue #3: Matchbox Twenty-Three? - The third solo album from Rob Thomas, lead singer of Matchbox Twenty, was The Great Unknown.

Clue #4: Winter is coming - A reference to the lyric “winter softly falling to the ground”.

Clue #5: Lady Of The Lake, Rob Roy, and Ivanhoe - The titles of three pieces written by Sir Walter Scott, who was also referred to as “The Great Unknown”.

Clue #6: Half the items in Rumsfeld’s infamous quartet? - Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary Of Defense to George W. Bush, infamously referred to different types of information as “known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns”. I suppose you could argue that up to 3 of these would count, but I was only thinking of the ones where “unknown” was the noun, as with “The Great Unknown”.

Your turn.
