A post shared by Iron Maiden (@ironmaiden)

Iron Maiden tease fans with enigmatic video on their social media profiles.

According to the rumors, tomorrow 19th September the English band will announce the new shows of the celebratory tour for the 50 years anniversary since the formation.

Do you think they'll announce the new tour, another studio album, a live album...?

I'm so excited and I can't wait to see what they are planning!👀

Iron Maiden in 1995

Trying to get motivated into writing the sequel to my Dave/Janick fic. I'm outlining the entire series at the moment. I've decided to make it a trilogy. Book 2 is going to take place during The X Factor era. 😊

Friday, August 4: Iron Maiden, "Judgement Day"

Iron Maiden spent the better part of a year writing and recording The X Factor, putting upward of 16 or so originals and covers to tape before settling on the 11 that made the album proper.  “Judgement Day” was one of the tracks left off the record, perhaps because it bore some similarity to the other Bayley/Gers composition “Man on the Edge”, which became the album’s first single.  But it, along with the other two originals subsequently released as B-sides, had much more energy and life than most of the songs that made the frequently turgid X Factor: the track was loud, clattery and a little unfocused, but the entire band- especially Blaze Bayley- sounded engaged and energized, and attacked the tune in a way that obscured the terrible production.  “Judgement Day” was an actual high octane metal banger that would’ve painted this iteration of Maiden in a much better light had it been placed on the album to balance out the slower numbers.  Of course, there was no getting around the mess that was Steve Harris’ production, and the dueling caterwauling solos were likewise sloppy and were completely counter to Maiden’s usual approach.  But nonetheless, “Judgement Day” stood out as a lively tune that painted the Blaze Bayley era in a much better light and with a touch more thought (and much better production) could’ve been a gem.
