Iron Maiden is back with their new album "Senjutsu" and this single "The Writing On The Wall". I was so excited not only because it's Iron Maiden, but it's super rare to find an artist from 30 years ago that's an icon, and still making amazing music today! I just had to see this music video as well, made by a London Pixar animation studio!!!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Iron Maiden's new single "The Writing On The Wall” in their official music video.

If you are interested in the clips, they released another animated clip for Stratego. It is interesting, the song and clip are references to the strategy game Shogi, popular in Japan. There are lots of interesting things there. The song is not as direct as this one, since they are talking about a game, but it also has meaning because the game is even more complex than chess and it is about war strategy.

Seeing you fall in love with Maiden and metal makes my heart so happy! Metal is so underrated, we need more people to really give it a chance so they can see the splendor for themselves, it should be on every radio station. I was lucky to be introduced to it at 15 and now my daughters are big fans too. Iron Maiden puts on the best live shows, hands down, they take their performances seriously yet have so much wholesome fun with it. Every member oozes talent and seems to have endless energy. Ive seen them 7 times, the last time a few months ago and it was the best I’ve seen them yet Please please go see them live if you ever get the chance! Steve Harris is a legend and the more you learn about Bruce, the more you will love him. Thank you for all the wonderful information and an entertaining reaction!

Dear Elizabeth, I love the appreciation you are showing Maiden. I grew up in the UK and feel no other band with longevity can be such epic, mature, and thoughtfully storytellers.

But when Mom read many of the lyrics she said Maiden was doing better than their history teachers)....

The amount of emotion he puts into it is just heartwrenching along with the hauntingly beautiful guitar solos.

I think Bruce's voice has gotten better as he has gotten older. He's 63, he's beaten cancer, he has other activities that he has pursued and he still has a killer voice. I've always thought his voice has aged like fine wine. He's been my favorite singer since I discovered Iron Maiden back in 2006.

Piece of Mind is my favourite album for vocals because of the way he uses them. I miss the clean sound and insane range he had during the 80s, and piece of mind was relatively reserved in terms of musical style so they relied on him a lot in that one. That album belonged to him as far as I'm concerned. I love the later albums, particularly Dance of Death, but he does have to make some compromises due to aging. That's just my opinion though. My favourite album of all is Seventh Son of a Seventh Son because they all hit it so hard on that one.

16:25 'could be Mozart'...that was gold! Great that you appreciate the whole band, not just the vocals. As a guitarist I have been enjoying playing the riffs to this one (check out 'Stratego' too from the new album). The song is loosely based on Belshazzar's Feast from the Bible as you say; at the feast, a hand started writing on the wall, only Daniel could interpret it's meaning which was basically that Belshazzar's reign was over; he died that very night! A modern interpretation could be a warning to world leaders/governments to be upright, fair and just and to do the right thing...or else!

Bruce is still amazingn live, im 30 now been listening to maiden for over 15 years, saw them live for the first time in June just gone and they honestly blew me away, From the impeccable playing (which i just found recently that bruce has publically said every show is completely live no back tracks at all, even more impressive!) But above all else my god the guy is a born showman, the energy, the engagement with the crowd, the banter, the stage tricks with his mic during singing etc just epic honestly hope i'll get to see them again one of my all time favourite bands!!

Bruce worked with a high school friend of mine on the video, who was/is a MASSIVE Iron Maiden fan. Watched him draw stuff for years and I guarantee there is a heap load of little nuggets buried in that video. He was a big fan of Heavy Metal back in the day and the animation shows some of that influence as well. Its really special to have a band like this that continually puts out music with well-thought out lyrics and ideas - and its pretty cool to see the collective visualization.

Well, to be fair it's Iron Maiden's 17th album, but not the 17th album he has sung on. It's his 13th with Iron Maiden, but then you have two (almost 3 if you count his re-recording of tracks from Survivors) albums with Samson then his 6 solo albums, so about 21 or so albums give or take the off single and guest appearance, and not including any of the many live albums. I assume he would have more save for his lack of free time due to being a CEO, a pilot, a fencer, an author, a radio host, a screenplay writer, and whatever else he does. Not sure when the man sleeps actually...

This one especially (as for example in Wasted Years or Wicker Man) is the highlight of the song that raises the song to a new level. Adrian's solos are usually solos that are not there just for the sake of it but to build up the song.
