Good morning people of the Fediverse!

Today we have a public holiday here in 🇦🇹.
Ahead of us lies a 200km trip into the depths of the #Waldviertel. My kid already requested #IronMaiden as road music so I guess we're doing a #Powerslave #PieceOfMind double feature.

Then #Kirtag awaits! This is where 10yo me got #wrestling t-shirts (Bret Heart 💘), toy tractors and where I bought #BravoHits 10 (on CD of course).

How Iron Maiden Flipped the Script on "Flight of Icarus" and Soared to Success
British metal icons Iron Maiden have always had a penchant for writing about historical and mythological events and figures. The 1983 lead single from their fourth album Piece of Mind, “Flight of Icarus,” fell into the latter camp. But rather than just retell the tale of the young man who flew too close..

It's incredibly dark here in Portsmouth. I've finished work, and it's time for #TonightsListening: #PieceOfMind by #IronMaiden. A decent crack of classic #Metal in this dim twilight.

The last track on this #Album, 'To Tame a Land', inspired me to read #Dune when I was in my teens.

Good morning folks!

After embarrassingly believing that Phantom of the Opera was on The Number Of The Beast yesterday, I have some #IronMaiden homework todo.

Now, I know Maiden quite OK, but it's not like I know every song on every album. I'll be working on that and will do another A-Z run, another #Metaljourney I guess 🤔

Kicking things off with #IronMaiden's 1980 self titled debut and this killer track:
