Great song that always stops me when I am flipping through channels on XM. I think Steve Harris has written his masterpiece with this song, which is really beyond any genre and time style!Someone before me wrote this: Hallowed be Thy Name is not simply an Iron Maiden's or a metal song, it is something more, like a perfect harmony of music, lyrics, progressive evolution and the rise of the climax during the song itself.
Such an underrated song.Keep finding myself listening to this over and over again. Definitely Top 5 in my opinion.This is such a classic song. I got attracted to metal and Iron maiden only because of this song..
It is a living proof that Iron Maiden is the only heavy metal band that can evoke any kind of emotional feelings through metal music. $15.35. This song is by far the most energetic and memorable for me out of the entirety of Iron Maiden's collections. The solos are as great as the riffs, and the vocals are just beatifulI like the raw sound, not just from Paul, but from Steve's base as well, his picking style is more outstanding and makes Maiden rawer. IRON MAIDEN-edward the great/gt hits/16 trax/vg con cd/2005. If you like the studio version, just wait till you hear the Rock in Rio live version.This song is awesome and every time I hear it I go into an another planetFear of the Dark, is the result of absolute harmony of guitar and lyrics.
And after this solo a perfect and ascendig transition with powerful interludes back to the heavy part.
Peaked at #12 on 28.05.1988. The mix of soft and loud, and acoustic and electric guitar really make this a fantastic song.
Then comes the brilliant level of musicianship from Janick Gers and Steve Harris, a classic Maiden all way through with mind-boggling lyrics.
Barry Sonnenfeld, who would later direct the movies Get Shorty and Men in Black, was the director of photography on the "Rock the Casbah" video for The Clash. I have been on the laste Friday on the Sonysphere in Basel, but they didn't play this song. From the dark and unnerving passage from Revelations, to the heart-racing guitar riff, to the evil and awe-inspiring lyrics, the rapid head-banging drumbeat and the mind-numbing, spine-chilling, lightning fast electrifying guitar solo, this song is an anthem of Iron Maiden and of all Heavy Metal. The guitar and bass in this song match it perfectly and helps to create an image of the battle, something this song does very well.The only song EVER that I've enjoyed from youth to adulthood in such a poignant but rocking way! The title track and “Run to the Hills” are crowd-pleasers while “Children of the Damned,” “The Prisoner,” and “Hallowed Be Thy Name” are exemplary displays of the group’s instrumental prowess, its uncanny knack for writing accessible riffs, and a perfect launchpad for Dickinson’s commanding operatic vocal style.
The instrumentals make it sound like you're on a quest.
Up the Irons!I know everybody has got their favorite and many will disagree, but in my opinion this song IS Iron Maiden.If there was only one song by Iron Maiden that could be put forward, this is it! The lyrics are great!
Bruce in the apice of his voice.
The lyrics in it are really great and they keep going on in my head.This song is proof that music still exists. This song should be on top 3.This was the first and the best heavy metal song I ever heard.
This song is amazing as heck and I believe goes up in the epic tier with songs like Hallowed Be Thy Name and Rime of the Ancient Mariner.This song is so amazing that I can't put it into words. We need to give credit to Clive.
Album: Iron Maiden (1980) Yet another legendary Iron Maiden song about running from the law (a common theme on the first two albums). 40) When The Wild Wind Blows (The Final Frontier, 2010) The epic album closer from 2010 album The Final Frontier, it’s almost 11 minutes long and as complex as Iron Maiden can get.Written by Steve Harris (who contributed to each of the ten tracks on the ambitious album), When The Wild Wind Blows is based on author Raymond Briggs’ post-nuclear fallout graphic novel of the same name. I wouldnât say itâs quite as good as songs like Aces High, Powerslave or Hallowed Be Thy Name.
