Yes, this week Bledd and Sam start delving in to the "reunion" album, 'Brave New World'. But is it a reunion if the band never broke up? All these questions and more answered in this episode of Maiden Voyagers.…

The scene is set for Iron Maiden's next foray in to the late '90s music scene. Join Bledd and Sam as this week they go through 'Virtual XI' in agonising track-by-track detail. It can't be as bad as it's rep, can it? ...can it?Bởi Maiden Voyagers

And who else is better placed to bring all these disparate elements together in to one cohesive artistic statement? Why, only Iron Maiden of course. This week, Sam and Bledd start exploring the second album of a new e…

Alright, time to get down to brass tacks (or whatever the expression is). This week, we continue our look into one of Iron Maiden's most maligned albums - the first featuring young upstart, Blaze Bayley.

Right. No more detours. We're charting the good ship Maiden Voyagers on a course back to the band's studio albums. But what about Iron Maiden themselves?
