After a short breather, we are back at it! This week's agenda is El Dorado and Maiden’s longest song, Empire of the Clouds. Erik Arkö was going to join us for this one to help champion Empire, but had to bow out. Although he did send some notes! After all the Senjutsu build-up, it’s nice to get back to doing what we do! It’s been far too long.

After the new album announcement, we speculate on what’s to come! With special guests Erik Arkö and Fearghal Traynor, we go through the tracklist and ponder on what wonders await us on September 3rd!

Are you excited about the new album? Drop us a line and let us know!

A special episode recorded in two parts. First part is before the announcement and the second directly afterwards.

There is a lot to unpack here. We barely scratch the surface of the song itself. We’ll deep dive into it more when the time comes. “W” is a long way off. I’m sure there will be more news very soon.

So you might be getting another bonus episode or two in the not too distant future!

What an amazing time to be a Maiden fan!

Welcome to the second part of Drums of The Beast!

We jump right back in where we left off last week.

Hats off to Emil Mickols and Henrik Johansson! They both kicked ass on this one.

Is this half as much fun? to listen to as it was to record,you guys are in for a treat!

Up the Irons and skål from the north!

Joined by two drummer extraordinaire - Emil Mickols and our old friend Henrik Johansson - we attempt to dissect the different playing styles of Clive Burr and Nicko McBrain.

Hold on to your hats and set phasers to fun! It might get a bit loud!

As you have undoubtedly seen on various social media platforms, something is up behind the scenes at Maiden HQ.

We have a full boat on this episode as we attempt to figure out what all the clues mean. Ben Webster and Erik Arkö are back. We also have a first time guest with a very metal sounding name:

Fearghal Traynor!

I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him soon.

Also, we have an announcement! On November 20th we will have our first ever Live podcast!

Gula Villan in Haninge is where it’s going down.

More info on that soonish but save the date!

We are back at it! On this week's episode we tackle two Blaze era gems.

After a few weeks of specials it’s nice to get back to the song list.

We go a bit off-road on this one. Hopefully you enjoy the scenic route we sometimes take as much as we do!

It’s almost Midsummer here in Sweden and what better way to celebrate than hanging out with us?

On this week's episode we discuss Maiden's special relationship to the Nordic countries. Henrik is back and we are also joined by Joel Brink from Maidenpodden. It’s fair to say that without Maidenpodden, there would be no Maiden A-Z. If you speak Swedish, be sure to check them out!

Happy Midsummer to you, up the Irons and skål from the north!

All good things must come to an end and on that note, welcome to the final part of our Early Days trilogy!

Thanks again to Ben for joining us!

I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him in the future.

Until then...

Up the irons and skål from the North!

Welcome to the second part of our Early Days trilogy!

Ben and Henrik are with us, and just like last time there is a ton to talk about! We are working on maybe adding a few new segments to the show. If you have any ideas of stuff you would like to hear, drop us a line!
