Who was this Phantom, plotting and scheming behind so grotesque a mask?

The empty theater - his altar of death!

Mr Feck himself, Fearghal Traynor, is back on Maiden A-Z!
And, let's get down to brass tax here:

Maiden A-Z 116: Only the Good Die Young + Out of the Shadows
I can't even recall last time we did two songs in one single episode..?
Hitting up such a heavy duty this very week, of course we needed Judas Priestcasts own George Silano and his firepower.
Let's see if he can help us not only analyze these two tunes but also find anything of a link between this seemingly unmatched pair.
Let the undead live within us!

Maiden A-Z & Axel continue descending, further into the infernal depths.
Phrase up those sacred chants and reckon THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST.

Maiden A-Z 111: The Nomad
Of course, Joel Brink (Maidenpodden) stuck around with us for this week, with his favorite song coming right at us.
The Nomad.
In many ways this was a perfect match, and one we had confirmed since many, many moons.
However, upon hitting record Jon fell into the agonizing notion that this might well be him ruining someones favorite tune.
Somones favorite Maiden tune...
...ouch!
Well, at least he might actually live to tell the tale.*

Maiden A-Z 110: New Frontier
New letter!
New songwriter!
New Frontier.
No more M.
Yet, we are still feeling M, and this week M, of course, stands for:
MAIDENPODDEN!
Joel is back with us, and this time to have a sweet slice of that music and lyric analysis cake.
We are stoked to, in some way, temporarily resurrect Maidenpodden.
Let's talk 2003, when ISDN and ADSL were up to date, and cloned mammals was talk of the town.

This is just a bit of fun and likely won't be for everyone. Fear not! Next week we will be back to our usual mischief!
A bit of warning: This week we most definitely earned our explicit content warning.
