Yesterday, October 1st 1990, Iron Maiden released their eighth studio album No Prayer for the Dying. (Yeah I'm a day late for this one) đ
It was their first album with Janick Gers on guitar, who replaced Adrian Smith after he left the band during the pre-production phase, unhappy with the musical direction they were taking. Smith only contributed to one song, âHooks in Youâ, which was the third track in the Charlotte the Harlot saga.
Although it received a mix of mostly neutral to negative reviews, the album reached number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and contains the bandâs only UK Singles Chart number 1, âBring Your Daughter⌠to the Slaughterâ.
No Prayer for the Dying does not follow the continuity of the previous album covers, since Eddie no longer displays his lobotomy or cyborg enhancements.
The album title may have been inspired by the 1987 film A Prayer for the Dying.
đ¨ JUST IN: Judas Priest officially announced the launching of the 'War Pigs' collab with Ozzy Osbourne this Friday, September 26th.
The band also announced that "all profits of Sony Music Entertainment UK Ltd & Epic Records in UK from audio streams, downloads & physical sales will be donated to Glenn Tipton Parkinsonâs Foundation & Cure Parkinsonâs"
Tomas Lindberg, iconic vocalist of At The Gates, passed away at 52 after battling adenoid cystic carcinoma. The Swedish metal pioneer, known for Slaughter of the Soul, died from cancer treatment complications.
The band shared: "Tomas, you were our inspiration. Forever missed." His raw voice defined melodic death metal.
đ¨ According to Halford, Sharon Osbourne reached out after hearing Priest's tribute with their Sabbath cover. "She approached me with this idea, she said, 'I love your version of 'War Pigs.' Is there a way we can get Ozzy?' I was [like], 'You're asking me? This is gonna happen.'"
"So you get Ozzy singing a line and then I'm singing a line and Ozzy's singing a line and I'm singing a line. It's the first ever time in my entire life that I've been able to do a duet with Ozzy and I'm so eternally grateful and blessed that I was able to do that," says Halford, who says the new version is "just colossal." He concludes, "When you hear Priest's 'War Pigs' with Ozzy singing on that track, it's just going to a really special place." - Source: Loudwire
Without revealing an official release date, Halford also stated: "The green button's almost ready to go. We're finalizing some artwork and bits and pieces that you have to go through. But I think it's gonna be pretty soon."
