iron maiden

An Iron Maiden show is a thrilling adventure, a nostalgic blast, and a reminder of just how powerful the band is live. We caught them in Chicago last week with Within Temptation – here’s a detailed review and tons of photos.

All the new metal releasing between August 29th, 2021 and September 4th, 2021 — spin (or skip) new music from Iron Maiden, Portrait, Carnifex, and more.

The band’s 12th studio album saw the return of Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith in a revamped six-piece format that achieved musical perfection — here, we look back on this marvel of metal’s unkillable spirit.

Over the hill we go with Iron Maiden’s self-titled debut album, released 40 years ago today. With much to say about this release (and the band’s legacy thereafter), three of us teamed up to reflect on what “Iron Maiden” means to us.

As the COVID-19 pandemic rages and self-quarantine efforts are well underway, so too grows our collective cabin fever — relax (and occupy) your stay-at-home mind with these metal documentaries streaming now.

The EP will also feature Iron Maiden and Lenny Kravitz covers.

In a brand-new column, movie/metal buff Joseph Aprill decodes depictions of paganism from 1973’s The Wicker Man and this year’s indie hit Midsommar with the help of bands like Iron Maiden, Agalloch, Cradle of Filth, and more.

Ghost are serving as direct support to Maiden this time around, but also have a bunch of their own headlining dates along the way. Check out all tour dates.

Three and a half decades of sacrifice… tonight
