Waking Up With… Metal Slaughters IRON MAIDEN
Works faster and harder than caffeine
5 January 2023
English metal titans IRON MAIDEN have been around like forever. They actually
started attacking stereos and ears around the world in 1975. Since then, they
fabricated 17 LPs, with last year’s Senjutsu album as the most recent one.
Back to the past now, back to 1991 when the iron noise bullies nailed a number
one hit single in the UK on 5 January, 32 years ago with haymaker BRING YOUR DAUGHTER… TO THE SLAUGHTER from their No Prayer For The Dying LP.
Run to the hills, daughters.

The black-and-white photograph titled ‘Hands’ was taken by Michael Wells. The photo depicts the emaciated forearm and hand of a malnourished Ugandan child in the palm

2. PETER GABRIEL IV by PETER GABRIEL
Peter Gabriel: “The artwork on album four was something I’d been working on with a sculptor called Malcolm Poynter whose work I thought was really strong; he used to do these things out of very dark heads, and then figures made out of toys soldiers.”
