Somewhere in Time

Iron Maiden

A futuristic pivot for the metal titans. Shimmering guitar synths and neon-soaked production meet their signature galloping rhythms and historical storytelling.

Moments Worth Listening For
The twin guitar leads in the title track that shimmer with a new, synthetic glow before the signature gallop kicks in.
The atmospheric, bluesy guitar solo in Stranger in a Strange Land that feels like a lonely walk through a futuristic wasteland.
The massive, crowd-ready 'whoa-oh' chant in the middle of Heaven Can Wait that demands a stadium-sized response.
