Tribute: Iron Maiden – Number Of The Beast

Today is the 30th Anniversary of Iron Maiden’s debut album with Bruce Dickinson. The album that changed metal, power metal, and revolutionized the way metal is played and looked at it. You know what, I can’t sit here and repeat every single thing that has been said. So why not listen to a song-by-song of covers from the album?

Engraved – “Invaders”

Therion – “Children of the Damned”

Dream Theater – “The Prisoner”

Dark Tranquility - “22 Acacia Avenue”

Sinergy – “The Number of the Beast”

Jesus Christ, I couldn’t find a really good cover so I found the worst ever made. Fucking Talking Metal Jam with In This Moment.

“Run to the Hills”

(Couldn’t find a cover of “Gangland”)

Probably one of my favorite songs ever covered….

Machine Head – “Hallowed Be Thy Name”

Cradle of Filth – “Hallowed Be Thy Name”

Iced Earth – “Hallowed Be Thy Name”

**BONUS** Iron Maiden cover from Swedish Idol. “Run to The Hills”

About Matthew Kuritz

Born in 1989 in a small town in South Carolina, Matthew was raised on metal. His father, a huge KISS and other classic rock/metal fan and his brother wh owas raised during he hay-day of Hair Metal and Grunge, Matthew was made to do this. I digest any and all music that comes my way; not just metal. Metal for me strikes the rebellious, angry, and energizing nerve that no other music can. Metal has the most talent, most feeling, and most power than any kind of music. I am always up for discussing anything and everything involving metal and other music.
