Okay, okay, we're finally back to round out "Season 3" with our definitive* history of Iron Maiden's first venture in to the world of gaming, Ed Hunter. Or is that Melt? 

Join Sam and Bledd as they go in to the troubled development of the game and use the term "zeitgeisty" so often that it loses all meaning.

*May not actually be definitive

In our last episode of the year, Bledd and Sam get to grips with what really matters about 'Brave New World' - the music.

Join them as Bledd swoons over the album and Sam complains that every song is too long. (Spoilers, much?)

It's the new millennium and, yet again, it's all change in the Maiden camp. Goodbye Blaze and hello Bruce... and Adrian. 

Yes, this week Bledd and Sam start delving in to the "reunion" album, 'Brave New World'. But is it a reunion if the band never broke up? All these questions and more answered in this episode of Maiden Voyagers.

The scene is set for Iron Maiden's next foray in to the late '90s music scene. Join Bledd and Sam as this week they go through 'Virtual XI' in agonising track-by-track detail.

It can't be as bad as it's rep, can it?

...can it?

It's 1998. It's nearly the new millennium. Virtual reality is all the rage (sort of). France '98 (the footie world cup) is imminent.

And who else is better placed to bring all these disparate elements together in to one cohesive artistic statement? Why, only Iron Maiden of course.

This week, Sam and Bledd start exploring the second album of a new era of Maiden - Virtual XI. Join them as they take a perhaps unsurprisingly skeptical glance at the band's follow up to The X Factor. 

Alright, time to get down to brass tacks (or whatever the expression is). This week, we continue our look into one of Iron Maiden's most maligned albums - the first featuring young upstart, Blaze Bayley.

Join Bledd and Sam as they reflect on Blaze trying to fill some of the biggest boots in heavy metal and whether 'The X Factor' deserves its negative rep.

It's all change in the Iron Maiden camp... again. Exit Bruce Dickinson and enter Blaze Bayley of Wolfsbane.

Recorded way back in the distant past (well, okay, spring this year), you can finally join Bledd and Sam as they jump in to the next chapter of Maiden history. New singer, new album, same old hijinks?

After a... longer and slightly more sudden hiatus than planned, Bledd and Sam are coming home to talk about all things Iron Maiden. Before we get stuck in to The X Factor and Virtual XI (and boy, do we get stuck in), join us for a bit of a chat about current band events* and Bruce Dickinson's UK tour.

(*Not that current, as this was recorded just before the 'Run For Your Lives' tour announcement. Classic.)

We're excited to be back... again!

This week, we're continuing our foray into Bruce Dickinson's swansong with Maiden, 'Fear of the Dark'. How does it compare to the album before? And is it a fitting note for Maiden's iconic frontman to end on (for now)? Join us and find out!
