On our maiden voyage (pun very much intended), we tackle two very different songs. First up from the 1982 album The Number of the Beast we have the song 22 Acacia Avenue. Second we have 2 A.M. from 1995’s The X Factor. We discuss being shocked by “dangerous” songs as kids, political correctness in metal lyrics, strange production choices, and, of course, tons of guitar nerd stuff! We are, after all, both guitarists.

We have also created a playlist. A Maiden A–Z Top-50 list. During the course of this podcast, after discussing songs, we will decide if they make the illustrious list or not. That list can be found here.

We would love to hear from you guys at home. You can find us on facebook, instagram, and at [email protected]!

Up the irons!

Meet Jonatan and Erik!

We are two huge Iron Maiden nerds who have taken it upon ourselves to go on a journey through the band's entire discography. In alphabetical order. One song at a time! Neither one of us are what we would call Iron Maiden experts but both of us are seasoned podcasters, so in that regard we are hardly strangers in a strange land.

It doesn’t require help from a clairvoyant to see that the road ahead is a long one. We hope you will join us on our journey into this brave new world and that you will not consider the time you spend with us… wasted years.
