IRON MAIDEN ORNAMENT


99.9% confident this is at best, a flat 2D image.
Buyer beware.

NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING


The above is the album art for Iron Maiden's 8th studio album "No Prayer For The Dying", by artist Derek Riggs.

Years later, they re-released the album with altered album art; no grounds keeper. Weird.


This album was a big shift in sound for Iron Maiden, following their near-perfect album "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". Honestly, this album sucks. There isn't a single good song, IMO (some love this album... and they are wrong have terrible taste, haha). This new direction in sound was so bad, guitarist Adrian Smith left the band during early pre-production.

It's the "Highlander 2" of Iron Maiden albums.
Their next album, "Fear of the Dark" sucked, too. The title track has become a fan-favorite, but I find it lacking and shallow. The lyrics feel like they were written by a 10-year old. Lead singer Bruce Dickenson quit the band after their tour.

After "No Prayer" and "Fear of the Dark", I had moved on to other music and stopped paying attention. The next 2 albums had a new singer, a new sound and they were terrible (I didn't even listen to them until a decade later). 

It wasn't until 2000 when Bruce and Adrian re-joined the band and they released a new album, "Brave New World" did I return to the being a fan. They've been on fucking fire ever since!

For the "New Era" (25 years and going!), 
Check Out:

12) Brave New World
14) A Matter of Life & Death (start with Track 02)
16) The Book of Souls
17) Senjitsu

SCAM : ADVENT CALENDARS


I've seen these advertised on Facebook and pretty confident they are SCAMS using A.I.-generated imagery to showcase their bogus product. It's a shame, because they look awesome and I would totally buy some if they were legit real.

OMEGA MAIDEN


I just bought this t-shirt from Hot Topic.

What sold me was the IRON MAIDEN font.


I fell in love with the character OMEGA RED as soon as I saw him in a pinup in the back of an X-Men comic by Jim Lee. I had high hopes for him, but alas he quickly became lame after those first issues of his debut.


I already have this shirt
(also from H.T.)


Based on X-Men #5


Which you can get in full color at Hot Topic as well:
