This week we tackle one of Maiden’s few instrumental tracks: The Ides of March. Joining us all the way from Ottawa are first time Maiden A-Z guests Andew DuBroy and Gower! As we mention in the episode, the plan was to do two songs this week. As often is the case with us, there was more to say than we thought. What song is coming up next week you ask? We know it might seem like an eternity from now but you’ll just have to wait! We, however, point out that for us, eternity is nothing but a short while… Up the Irons and skål from the other North!

We continue right where we left off last time: with Henrik Johansson and Dave Moody at our side, we sink our hooks into Hooks in You! If you haven’t already, make sure to check out Dave’s most excellent Queen podcast In The Lap of The Pods! Up the Irons and skål from the North!

The stars align and we find ourselves tackling not one but two tracks from No Prayer For The Dying: Holy Smoke and Hooks In You. For this dive into the very beginning of Maiden's slightly odd 90s period we have two guests. Henrik Johansson is back and as if that wasn’t enough we have what we hope will be the first of many appearances of Dave Moody from In The Lap of The Pods! We had way too much to talk about to fit into one episode. Part one focuses mainly on Holy Smoke. What happens in part two? No big deal, no big sin… to be continued!

2022 is here and we are kicking the proceedings off with an absolute banger from Senjutsu: Hell On Earth! We have Dan Mortimer back in the house for this one. Besides learning the meaning of thematic elements in movie ratings, someone says something that, more likely than not, will cement itself in our ever growing collection of recurring jokes on the pod. Up the irons and skål from the North!

We’ve reached the end of 2021! We look back, reminisce, and glance ahead to all the cool stuff we have coming down the pike in 2022. We didn’t know what to expect when we started this podcast. The response we’ve gotten so far has surpassed even our wildest dreams. That’s all on you lovely people. So thank you for an amazing year! Happy new year, and we’ll see you on the other side!

It’s that time of the year again! We had a whole thing planned this year for our special. Unfortunately, due to technical issues, we had to edit out huge chunks of it. But we do have Mr.Bass, a.k.a. Erik Arkö, back in the house for the first time in way too long to talk about his epic new song “No Man’s Land (Christmas Eve 1914)”. If you haven’t already, head on over to youtube and it out! Hope you all have a great Christmas, and if that’s not your jam, have a great weekend! Up the irons, Merry Christmas and skål from the North!

With Henrik at our side we head back in time as we tackle a gem from Somewhere in Time: Heaven Can Wait. We have a few special episodes coming your way but before we get to those we thought it would be nice with a good, old fashioned, business as usual Maiden A-Z episode. But there is nothing business as usual about this week's song! Up the Irons and skål from the north!
