Episode 50! To celebrate this milestone we had Peter Iwers (formerly of In Flames) of Odd Island Brewing in the house to talk Maiden and beer. We also give our feelings on the various Trooper beer variations. You might have noticed we have a brand new intro. The all-star line up behind this gem is Jonatan on guitar, the very much alive Erik Arkö on bass, and Dan Mortimer on vocals. Also, shout out to Gareth West for the badass banner for our Facebook group! For the rest of October, we are doing a setlist competition.

What’s all this then? An extra episode?! On a Sunday?! That is correct! This is the second part of our talk with Dan Mortimer and Barney the parrot. We discuss a potentially room-dividing song: Fortunes of War.

This week, we tackle another anthem. Perhaps THE anthem: Fear of The Dark. We have our friend Fearghal Traynor with us to help dissect this one. We recorded this about 24 hours before the new album dropped, so of course we discuss that a bit as well. Hopefully you guys enjoy taking the scenic route, because we do go off on a few tangents in this one.

Henrik is back to help tackle two early 90s tracks!

We also discuss Dave and his role in the band during this era, as well as The Black album, Magic Johnson, and time travel.

One week left until Senjutsu!

In this last minute mini-episode, we give our first impressions of the brand new single Stratego! Big thanks to Fearghal for joining us on very short notice!

What do you guys think of the new song? Let us know

This week, we tackle two tracks from the 2000-era! To help us out, our friend Charlotta Dahlén is back! Are these tracks both tales of Armageddon and doom or is there something more there? We attempt to find out!

P.S. Arkö is alive and well!

This week, we are tackling a big and important song. A song that will live on and on. We are, of course, referring to The Evil That Men Do. This is likely on many of your top 10 lists.Spoiler alert: it’s on ours as well. In order to give this song it’s proper due, we needed to call in reinforcements! Thankfully, our man in Buffalo, Greg DiPasquale, was kind enough to join us. Buckle up, this is a fun one!
