This song should be transmitted to space so others civilizations can hear it too
same like Alexander The Great. But Rafael you are right that song was Masterpiece ;)
It was already when we Played it on the device:-)
It is every time it's played on radio :)
😂🤘
turn it up all the way and maybe it will reach them? Worth trying :)
This is the shortest 12 minutes 39 seconds I've ever spent in my lifetime. This lasts for more than 12 minutes and you still feel like it is too short.
I don't get how a generic sounding, cookie cutter lyric song about nonsense will get 50+ million views, but this song which tells a story based on history and sounds amazing only gets 2 million.
So many people missing out on true artistry.
Songs like these have a high barrier of entry. Most want something simple
Great song and so is Hell on Earth
Those songs with the same six slang words and computer backing tracks appeal to tween girls who live online and don't get out much.
Because most part of society is stupid.
@@hydroshock1853 A high barrier of entry, that sums it up very neatly. Exactly that. It takes time to absorb musical class of this level.
The Parchment and Hell on Earth are among the best IM songs ever.
of CD 2 yes, on CD1 senjutsu Twotw and lost in a lost world are 3 best or stratego too. all good songs really difficult to say what is more like for me
Dont forget the title track. A very brave song. Both concerning tge rhythm section and the melody.
Can't disagree
That's an obviously over-the-top statement, but both are amazing, in particular, "The Parchment", which I hold as the best Steve penned epic since "Sign Of The Cross". The whole Oriental vibe is just mesmerizing, the instrumental section starting at 3:30 mind-blowing.
Easy thumb up. Target upper next time :D
9:18 my heart is going to explode, Long live Mr. Bruce Dickinson
Momento Glorioso....
Er excuse me it's Dr Dickinson MD Phd (virology/microbiology) please
i also tried too sing it
He is the chosen one
I cry so happy
"Headed for afterlife, meet me THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRREEEEE!" What a goosebumps moment. Vintage Bruce.
The best moment ever !! Rock on
Honestly, that's probably a top 5 moment out of their entire discography.
Indeed. Bruce still have lungs of leather. Have goosebumps too.
YES YES YES!!!! goosebumps all over the place!
Someday we will cry .. listen to this song...and remember...what bruce .. promises..Up the irons.,
Steve Harris will put his name in the years to come next to all amazing poets of the world. He is not writing music and lyrics, he composes masterpieces and poems
But most of all the future, he writes down about the future. Και αν δεν το πιστεύεις περίμενε λίγο ακόμα...
Once you realize how good this song is, you just cant stop listening it, such an amazing timeless masterpiece
Its frightening how these lads are getting better, and better and better. this is pure fucking elixir.
I think they going thru their second childhood cuz these tunes remind me more of the music they were makin on the first 4 albums! I'm loving this shit!!!!
Absolutely they are getting even better tje older they become which is unbelievable!
Still has some of A Brave New World sound which I dig.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Elixir?is a clash royale reference joke aside maiden are legend
This is a work of art , and as such should be displayed in a gallery, where people would come and stand in awe while they listened to the genius that is Maiden .
Perfectly said!
Long Live Iron Maiden n Greatest Blessings upon Thee Favorite band of Mine besides Anthony Q Lion
This is what bieber fans say about his music .
@@gillianholcombe33 Here Here!
Too many are comparing instead of enjoying it for what it is. Maiden Froever🤘
I´m not young man anymore. I had listen lot of music. I´m not huge Iron Maiden fan, but I must say, that this last album is very brilliant.
Like Bruce said" We are dinosaurs, but we are proud ones". Yes, The Iron Maiden do the music traditionally, they do tours and gigs as in the old days.
That´s why I like Maidens music and that´s why I respect them. They aren´t too many bands who would do that. Long Live Iron Maiden.
wow
When a song is written well there is no such thing as "too long". Steve Harris has proven that again and again.
I listen it twice back to back every time. It is not long.
I only wish each song was double the length, that's my complaint!
Too long = not long enough
Empire of the clouds
I'm at the age of the band members, but female.
I have never heard a song like " The Parchment ". At the end of the song, I had tears streaming down my face. NEVER, has a song moved me so.
This is a masterpiece, WOW!!!
NOW I CAN DIE, and feel complete.
Thank you to the musicians of Iron Maiden!
Do not die as yet. Pretty sure this is not the last album. Can’t wait to take my son for a show when he is bigger like my dad did, he is 2 and a half now. 🤘🏻
I agree this is probably my favourite from the album. It's beautiful!
Screw dying I want more of this!
Samsies!
I have had a passion about and with this band since I was a kid in the 80's When my Days are done on Earth I want their Music from this Album number 17 playing at my final resting place. So I can go in Peace from this Hell on Earth.
Maiden is a gift of the music for the world. Absolutely incredible!
Absolutely yeahhhh 🤟🤟🤟🤟!!
For me, the determinant of whether a song is good or bad is me playing an air guitar solos and I've been doing this whole album.
UP the Irons
@@fiuttello right on bro
Been waiting for an album like this since Dance of Death, because quite frankly, the last few albums were boring.
If the entire Maiden discography isn’t playing at my funeral I’m not going
That will be a long-ass funeral then! Not bad anyway, I'd participate ImI!
@@trazero6455 lmao it will be like the avengers. Maiden fans UNITE!!! 😂
jejeje nice agree with you, best regards
All their songs in a funeral? I don't think Priest has all this time 😂 The parchment, the book of souls, hell on earth and empire of the cloud and then it is a good funeral 😅 I only need these songs!
@@robyponticelli4273 lol
The lyrics in this album are top class, some of Maiden's best, incredible.
AMOLAD, The Final Frontier and Senjutsu have some of the all-time best lyrics from Iron Maiden. Book of Souls has its lyrical moments (Empire of the Cloud is a musical poem!) but I don't think it stands with the best ones.
I'm only talking about lyrics.
As a lifelong Maiden fan, I'm gonna have to HARDLY disagree. And the only reason I'm doing this is to see if some of you see what I don't? I'd be so glad to be wrong, but there's not a single song on Senjutsu that I consider a song with good lyrics... It's so cryptic but without any meaning, or am I missing something? I don't think so, but I would really like to be proven wrong.
By the way, The Parchment is absolutely a top10 maybe even, and I really cannot believe that I'll say this - maybe even a top5 Iron Maiden song anyway. I swear. A fucking masterpiece.
Darkest af.
@@TheTrooper9169666 I'm not a native English speaker and for this song I haven't got the slightest clue what the f is going on in the lyrics. So I told myself that it is like a vision or a dream of a prophet who is in trance. But if anyone can educate me I'd love to hear some interpretations or explanation
Too bad you can't hear half of them due to the shite production value
My father passed away not so long ago, poured his ashes in his childhood river,and this song nearly makes me cry . Thx Maiden, for ever,so much hope !
May he rest in peace.
All respect for you brothers and sisters !
All the Best for you!
Your father lives in all the oceans now! Cheers to you and your dad!
Rip bro, he,s alive somewhere cool and rock,n to this great sound!
This is an hypnotic masterpiece. Remind me To Tame a Land.
Very much so both brilliant songs
"To Tame A Land," and I also hear (referrering mainly to the solos in the songs) "Hallowed Be Thy Name, Powerslave, The Nomad, The Talisman, Alexander the Great, Fear of the Dark" and some obscure stuff from the first two albums that I can't seem to isolate. Maybe influences from the "Killers" guitaring. It could just be some of the guitar style and sound is being used from that period. The first two albums are my favorites, so I'm not sure why I can't lock in to what I'm hearing. But this new album is really solid, despite a few vocal issues and production flaws.
My thoughts exactly from the moment I heard it!
The Nomad
The Nomad, To Tame a Land, also Stargazer and Kashmir - it's just epic!
I'm 54 years old and I have been listening Maiden for decades. Well, this album is just........AMAZING !!!!!!
@@elkstereidolon3523 whether you're 8months or 80yrs; Iron Maiden's gonna get ya; it's got me since '82. Can never have enough Maiden! 🤘🤘🤘
I’m 60 years young ! Reason I love Iron Maiden songs what a healthy lifestyle 😎
I'm 54, as well. Absolutely love the Senjutsu album. Best album since the reunion and Parchment is just a monster of a track.
ΝΑΙ
Was 54 and just turned 55 (9th July) and going strong as a lifelong Maiden fan!
Considering what cancerous garbage is played on the radio and popular nowadays, I am very grateful that stuff like this still exists. It makes me see some glimpses of light in an otherwise endless, dark musical tunnel. Thank you Iron Maiden and many other bands for keeping the faith alive! We need you in these dark, forsaken musical days.
Iron maiden has transcended musical genres. They are whatever they want to be. They constantly deliver like so few bands can. Into their 60s producing music at this level....geezuz man....gods!
Heavy Metal 😈🤘🏼
4skin
Each member of the band brings their unique talent.
Iron Maiden is INCREDIBLE. MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT.
Right. If you change "60s" for "80s" this comment perfectly matches with Metallica 🤘🏼
@@davidmontes3956 Please explain. I love metallica but they do not compare to Maiden in the consistency and originality. I think I have misunderstood your comment. Sorry.
As soon as you see a Maiden song that is 12 mins long - you just know it won't disappoint. EPIC!
I love that Maiden have always made songs as LONG as they want & don’t try to make radio length singles. 🤘
My father and brother are huge Iron Maiden fans, as am I. While other girls my age (i’m 23 now) listened to Beyoncé, and chart music I became a Maiden fan about 12, even them live three times and loved every song and show. This album and this song are incredible and beyond epic. Steve Harris once again has crafted a masterpiece, the riffs and Bruce’s voice are astonishing, Nico’s drumming is exceptional. Maiden are the gift of music that keeps on giving. Up the Irons forever 🤘
Full agree Rebekah, that´s the feeling!!! from so deep in my soul!!!
Let’s fucking hear it loud
I am currently 12 and I love Iron Maiden! Also, I totally agree! I hope I can see them live soon, hopefully in Florida or Puerto Rico (If they come back) Up Those Damn Irons!!!🤘🎸🔥
I am getting my 10 year old daughter to see them this summer. Up the Irons
We are a global family
This song just keeps getting better and better
That Murray solo at 5:13 is goddamn amazing. THIS is why I love Maiden!
It literally gives me goosebumps
It's real good. That said I hear unwanted string noise at 5:26. I can't tell if it is Dave or not but these guys are human after all.
The album is simply magnificent,just like the old Maidens,really makes me happy to see that Iron Maiden hasn't commercialized at all in over 40 years. UP THE IRONS,GREETINGS FROM SERBIA!
This is a fucking MASTERPIECE from the greatest band of the planet! Up the Irons from Greece
I agree. Up the Irons from Charleston, SC. USA!
Panathinaikos fans are amazing! A beer from Chile, a Maiden and U. de Chile supporter here
YEAAAHHHH UP THE IRONS GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS
To me, Iron Maiden are not simply another band. For most of the time of my life, they've been an indispensable part of it!
Same.
@@rumple440 Same here!
Yep😂
Same.Up the Irons🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
i will never forget the first time i heard them, Somewhere in time was brand new, i thought it was the best thing id ever heard! i still do
9:21, this moment is one of the best for Bruce in their entiere discography. Obsolutely epic and so much melodramatic that it give me eargasm, only Bruce can do
9:21 I see, you're the simple kind of guy.
@@rabarebra and we see you are an egotistical hipster.
@@kmsharley75 You have no fucking clue!
@@rabarebra what's happening here, you guys are insulting each other and being negative or ?
@@rabarebra Simple? try and sing it without an oxygen tank for back up.
So proud for being part of Maiden's voyage since their 1st album. Nothing but respect for the way they matured as musicians. An example to all metal bands
Dave's solo in this song (starting at 5:02) is viceral, and my favorite in the album!
Nice one. My fav solo is in Darkest Hour🔥
he did one solo in this song but is very excellent😃
The way this song constantly builds up to the final lyric verse and that insane melody in the end is insane. It's really like living a 12 minute story. The lyrics are so haunting, the melodies so sinister yet beautiful. I absolutely adore this song and has become one of my favorite IM song's of all time. IMO 7 minutes to the end is just pure perfection. Iron Maiden is such a creative treat.
but they rather play the one from celts instead thsi one live
Indeed it is a true story. From the future... You do not get it, just keep the statement.
Up the IRONS from Syria 🇸🇾 with love
Almost half a century of magnificent music
When iron maiden will come to Israel
I will buy you the ticket ,beer and fun.
Up the iron's from Israel 🤘🏻
@@nadavhidra And I will join you from JORDAN.. UP THE IRONS
i hear you, my Maiden brother! This band has millions of fans from all over the world! I live in Las Vegas, NV USA! I cannot wait til the band brings the concert experience here again, to play these new tracks from Senjutsu, and the fan favorites! UP THE IRONS!

I am Iron Maiden fan since I was 13 years of age now I am 47 and still love them just as much if not more. Iron Maiden is a God gift to people that understand and enjoy the masterpieces Iron Maiden churn out. No band can compare to Iron Maiden, they are living LEGENDS which will never be forgotten even when they're long gone. Someday in future, the children will study about the greatest masters of music with Iron Maiden held in highest regards.
This is the finest piece of music the boys have ever released. Period.
It's certainly one of the best songs they've created since Bruce's return.
perfect
What this legendary band did is insane. They produced an instant modern classic. The record oozes quality, not a bad or mediocre song in it. I'm so happy! UP THE IRONS!
Omg!!!!!!.....this song man!!!!!!....THE GODS never dissapoint....Cheers from Colombia 🇨🇴🔥
👌🏻🤘🏻🇨🇴
🤟🏻👍🏻🇨🇴
MY GOD that riff at 3:30
Pure eargasm right there
Probably their best, i daresay
This is seriously one of their bests ever. I know it's said a lot, but for a band to produce an album of this calibre over 40 years in is incredible. If Senjutsu is their last album, they've finished on such a high
Indeed Sir !
Is it their last album??
@@VidyaBros1 We don''t know yet, we have to wait and see
Bruce said in an interview I watched that they were so pumped about this one they were talking about making another album right then on top of senjutsu, but then they said that would be too much given they were still on the LOTB tour and what not. I doubt it would be their last album. They’ve got a couple more in them I’m sure. And If not, this would be a solid album to leave off on in my opinion. I’m sure they’ve got a plethora of unreleased music, live albums etc for when they do retire.
Might be my favorite since 1988, i had no use for Maiden after the 80's, but I admit this album is good. Senjutsu was an album recorded In 2018/19, then the pandemic hit, so it wasn't released. I'm sure they have a new record already written.
There’s no discussion. This is the best album song by far.
The best song of the new album! Top ten of Iron Maiden songs! Epic, Heavy and Melodic beyond measure. Wonderful. Amazing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Iron Maiden, for this. You are the best band ever. And this new release made you even bigger.
Even Hell on Earth or Senjutsu is better.
@@VNeto94 neh, just different tastes, of the last 3 songs, hell on earth its the one i like less and the worst in the álbum (for me) its days of future past
@@Kevinrock98 interesting take. For me there is only one bad song in the album: Lost in a Lost World. I'd like to never hear it again, although the intro was a great fresh idea for Maiden, the rest is just weak or annoyingly boring, my expectations were crushed and my day was ruined
As for other songs, most are "ok", my favorites ones are Senjutsu (addicted to it), WOTW, Darkest Hour and Death of the Celts.
@@VNeto94 for me its day of future past because bruce voice sounds weak here compared to all the rest of the álbum, and i really dont find anything interesting there, nothing memorable and hell on earth it has a way too long intro and outro, combined they take 4 minutes of the song and at that point it feels boring, death of celts and parchment had that same formula, lost in a lost world too and darkest hour, but hell on earth close the album and i wish that song was different from the rest of the songs, like thin line between love and hate, the Legacy, journeyman or empire of the clouds, they really wasted a good chance there
Das ist nicht nur Heavy Metal, das ist übergalaktische Musik , genial, Beethoven der Neuzeit
Love the riff at 6:44. It's neither flashy nor fast or heavy but very athmospheric and intense as hell.
i love it , brother! i guess it's played by Janick?
Its heavy bro
@@raymundsoosai1072 not in my book
Does the second half make anyone emotional or is it just me? It's just so goddamn heartfelt the way Bruce delivers those lyrics and how they perfectly compliment the triumphant yet melancholy nature of the music, then you have those kickass last two minutes that feel so bloody cathartic. I'll never not love Maiden, how they just pile on instant classics at almost 50 years into their tenure is inhuman. Best band ever.
Absolutely. It’s an outstanding song. One of their best.
Yes! One of my favorite songs on this album.
That's my favorite part of the songs and probably on the entire album, although I love all of it. But how Bruce delivers the lyrics, how Janick plays with him, Nicko with his accents, the rhymes ("Wilderness a tyrant dream, Sell your soul not give them power, Slay upon imperial crown, Witness now the witching hour")... it's just on another level. Best band ever.
@@franktravagli8695 I miss ya, Frank. Let's do the next show in Trieste together again!!!
Meet me theeeeeEEEEeeeeEEeeeeeeeere, made my eyes wet
NIcko said on Jericho's podcast that this is his favorite from the album, although he wants to play the entire album live
I can see why. The drumline is groovy!
Thanks for the tip, I'll go listen now 👍
I wish that Murray solo went on and on for hours. What a exotic guitar solo by Dave.
I don't think maiden is from this world, pure classic , great album
The most addicted album since 7th son! I feel like I was a kid discovering their discography! Thank you Iron Maiden from my bottom of my heart! See you next time in Greece!
Tomb Walker as next called in thoose Dass
In there Philharmonie ,FROM,For,at,in,my Energy.

Since 7th Son? Impressive, I hear it as part 2 of Book of Souls trilogy...one can always hope this is not the last Maiden album, but if it is...BRAVO!
Up the irons..γαμω την τρέλα μου..
Steve: Guys, how many solos do you want to put on this track?
Dave, Adrian and Janick: Yes

@@CM_CHESS That was a joke, mate.
@@mhitson7483 Ok, mate.
ha, honestly though my favorite solo's on this album is from Darkest Hour.. although this album is amazing
No other band can touch this level of greatness
Bold statement. There are other bands producing excellent music.
I love Maiden but Floyd and Metallica are awesome too.
@@hoonaticbloggs5402 but which band has been doing so for 45+ years? Most of them rely on their original stuff but Maiden are still coming up with intrinsic, layered and highly technical material even now, when they don't really need to. I see that as the biggest difference that separates them from the others. Yes, the likes of Leppard and Metallica are still producing good stuff but not on this level of mastery. When you actually explore the lyrics and what story the song is telling, enveloped in the musical genius - there really is no one else out there who are equals to Maiden.
Steve Harris is the Ludwig van Beethoven of Heavy Metal. His name will be remembered for centuries.
I think that Senjutsu Is the best Iron Maiden album of the best two decade, the best from 2000
I can't get enough of this song. There is so much going on here: the sinister intro, that constant riff throughout the song, the solos, the speedy ending, and of course Bruce's singing is out of this world. I love how he holds that last note for several seconds. Almost like Hallowed Be Thy Name. Incredible!
Yes something about this song …. It’s like it already started even from before the intro .. one thing I wished they did is to fade the song out with the verse riff in the beginning … it’s like they take you in a journey .. mammoth song
1000% agree, it blows my mind!! Absolute behemoth of a song!
I agree. The intro makes me think of Egypt and south american with a hint of the orient. Amazing musicianship.
3:31
Agreed. Best song of the album for me! Up the Irons!
Some bands can make a 12 min song sound like 4 min. Some make a 4 min song sound like a life time of agony. Thank you Maiden for bringing a great album to all nations. Thank you for bringing together all Nations and Nationalities. Set aside the hate people live and learn to love Metal. You'll find that life's worth living. I'm so excited to know my Grandchildren will follow great music. BECAUSE GREAT MUSIC CAN AND WILL ALWAYS CHANGE THE WORLD.!!!! Thank you Maiden for being apart of my world for 40+ years.!!!
This feels like it's half an hour long. They done better in other recent songs.
When it doesn't feel like a 12 minute song = masterpiece. Screw the critics, this song is absolutely amazing! Up the Irons!
Mike Morrissey.. this has become my favourite from the album now
I wish it was longer, such a beautiful song and when I listen to it seems to just fly through. As a brand new fan I hope to discover more of what Iron Maiden have to offer my ears..
@@karathorn5500 You have much to enjoy from a suite of albums that has no rival! In my opinion this song is at the same level of Hallowed Be Thy Name which is widely considered one of, if not the best, Maiden songs of all time.
A couple years ago I played Rime of the Ancient Mariner on one of those Internet juke boxes and I didn’t know that they cut off after 10 minutes. It was a very good and loud stereo system in the bar and no one was talking much during the song. At the ten minute mark the song is really amping itself up and when it just cut off, people’s heads popped and half the bar just moaned!
This must be up there with some of the best material Maiden has ever written. On a par with some of the '80's epics from Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son. Truly epic and comparable with, if not more evocative than Zeppelin (Kashmir), Rainbow (Stargazer) and so on. Superb song writing and a fantastic performance from all band members.
I've been a Maiden devotee for over 20 years and this masterpiece hit me deeply. I'm brazilian and I had the privilege of attending to Rock in Rio concerts and other gigs in Curitiba, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro. Looking forward to next year's Rock in Rio edition. I love the band ever since I reached their first song, back in my childhood days. I speak english because of their influence, I traveled to London to visit Cart and Horses iconic pub, where the band started, decades ago. I even watched a Premier League game, being a football fan (brazilian, right?), and of course it had to be a West Ham game. This song is just emotive. I love the flow, it shows how mature these guys are. There's no hurry, no need to pleasant anyone, but a natural and amazing work. I just wanna thank Steve Harris for both this song and the entire career of the best heavy metal band that ever walked on this planet. I owe you a whole bunch of vivid moments, a lifelong happiness and joy. See you next year in Brazil, once again. Up the Irons!
Gers Harri
Really nice words! Loving The Parchment, Hell on Earth, Days of Future Past and this whole album. Up the Irons!
This is Great as it ever gets……..
Mano, eu sou brasileiro tbm, e pra mim essa é a melhor musica do album
Well said. They never fail in their compositions and scores.Gteatest Metal Band of all time.
Look at all of us enjoying new Maiden today from all over the world, so many languages!
Crazy right it seems MAIDEN has made us all BLOOD BROTHERS
UP THE IRONS BROTHERS!
Up the Irons ! Hi from South Wales, UK.
Right on, long time Maiden fanatic from Australia... mate! 🇦🇺🤘🏼
Pennsylvania, USA here!
Maiden many times in Philly over the past 35 years.
Blood Brothers indeed!
Holy crap this song has to be one of the best in the entire maiden catalog. The otherworldly groove throughout is killer, the solos give me goosebumps, and Bruce's hovering vocals at the end...pure beauty!!!! Well done boys
A late career masterpiece for these old troopers!
there's no chance that this album hasn't a bad song. the whole thing is sublime.
Agreed Nero.
9:00 and onwards is just pure genius, caught me by surprise. The fact that these guys are still writing songs like this in their 60s is absolutely mind blowing to me. BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!
This song grows as you listen to it and process it. The ending, with that tremendous unstoppable lyrics, is epic!!. it's the best song on the album, IMHO.
Easily Best song on the album imo
I agree with you! Really man, I am crying as a idiot kkkkkkk wtf this music
Hell on earth crushed it for me, same with Days of future past
This song was so strange for first hearing, I couldn't decide if I like it or not. Then it just stuck in my head after a few times listening, and it goes on and on in my head. So powerful and catchy.
@@balazs1020 you just described the genius of Maiden. A lot of the people that criticize maidens new music need to understand that their new stuff is actually brilliant musicianship and requires multiple listening sessions to truly appreciate the depth.
Just look at A Matter of life and death album. Phenomenal
This is an amazing song. Over time, it will be considered right next to Hallow Be Thy Name.
Love this one too but Lost in A Lost World is my new Hallowed be thy Name.
agreed.
To me it seems is the finest album since 1983. Didn't expect such a high level of songwriting anymore. Hats off!
Concordo! Para mim, esse é o álbum que mais me agradou desde "Piece" e "Powerslave", álbuns daquele período em que a banda estava em seu auge criativo, no qual compôs e gravou as canções que a consagraram. "Senjutsu" é um trabalho maravilhoso! "The Parchment" é espetacular!
Iron Maiden is one of the few bands that deliver every time. This album is amazing 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Up The Irons
Respect from Sweden 🇸🇪 🇸🇪🇸🇪

Seriously, that might be in the top 5 moments of their entire discography.
@@bryanpittman4444 I agree 👍
What a song !!!!!..... being 26 times on concert.....IM fan till death.....after many years....i hear MAIDEN again......my deepest RESPECT !!!!
I don't know why but Iron Maiden has this way of making their longer songs feel like 2 to 3 minutes long when they are from 10 to 18 minutes! Legends! Up the irons!
I didn’t think Steve had a masterpiece like this in him anymore…this is just incredible.
It’s a tall order, but I hope they play this one live.
They really should. If they could make The Red and the Black the highlight of the show for everyone, this one will likely follow suit
Ye, the long versiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn..............
Hell on Earth is better.
@@linkvagar2336 I love them all. Better is a stupid word.
@@grantwallace1882 Not really. I like them too, but Hell on Earth is EASILY the best song on the album.
Therefor, it is better than this song.
Wow what a guitar duel between Janick and Adrian towards the end! Killer!
How many bands would dare to create such a monster song with a 4 min and then a 3 min instrumental part ? Definitly brilliant !!
I’m not an IM die hard fan, but after listening to this and Hell in earth all i can say is this:
This is pure art!
I’m sick of fans who criticize a band for not putting out same stuff over and over again….
Or how this song is easy or complicated technically!!!
What in the heaven are tou talking about?
Just enjoy these guys while you can and cherish every moment and appreciate their art….
There will never be another IM or JP or metallica or megadeth …..
As a not IM fan I really enjoyed this song and want to appriciate!
From IRAN with love🥂
Well said
Back at you my brother in music. It's all about the fun and some fans forget the party. 12 minute tours-de-force are more than just songs.
Wisely said bro!
@@rjonboy7608 This!!
Thanks man, I´m tired too of Selfcalled IM fans that the only thig that they do is critcize.
3:31 that guitar riff! Maiden truly are musical perfection! Absolute masterpiece of an album! Course all of their albums make me so unbelievably happy! UP THE IRONS! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🎵🎸💯💜💜

@@slavazinya9785 it's just perfect! 💜🔥🔥🔥
Iron Maiden is so much more than "Heavy Metal"
Historical Storytellers in song 🤘
what people docent understand that iron maiden shifted their style to prog metal since 2000 brave new world
@@nasserkhalaf7405 -Plus they have aged & matured. People always compare to Powerslave that they did in their early 30’s or so, but now they’re in their 60’s. We should be glad they’re still together & making such great music! 🤘
They're their own genre ... dare I say, Maiden Metal.
@@frigginjerks70 ...one of a kind musical geniuses !... can't put IM in a box
I have been a massive Maiden fan since 1983 and this song is right there with Hallowed Be Thy Name!! Steve Harris is truly like a fine wine. Epic stuff!!!
Maiden proves for the 200th time that they have no match,they are the foundation,past,present and FUTURE of heavy metal. Phenomenal. FUCKING AWESOME.What a generous gift from Lord Steve Harris over 30 minutes of mental food to last FOREVER. Hats off.
I've got to say I've been a massive Maiden fan for about 25 years now and this song is simply their masterpiece. It's not the kind of the song you can play to someone who is new to the band and expect them to like it. This song is a journey, and it perfectly reflects my journey I've had with Maiden. Its just simply an absolute masterpiece
As a fan of over 35 years I couldn't agree more. Its a stunning piece of work.
'Arry's hidden gem on the album. As I said, Hell on Earth is the best song because it wraps up the album nicely. The lyrics "on the graves that bled for us" and "coming for us" call back to the lyrics of Senjutsu, the opener. This was done on purpose. If it weren't for that, this is the closer of a monster album.....and what a song!!!!!! Good gravy. Up the irons!!!!!
@@rickrock6236 spot on, need I say more, the last songs on the album are the best in my opinion as well, although Stratego and the Time Machine + the Writing on the Wall are absolute gems too.
Empire of the Clouds and Rime of the Ancient Mariner >
(even Hell on Earth is better on Senjutsu)
I've been a rock and metal fan since I was a young kid in the 70's. I'm ashamed to say that I passed Iron Maiden over from about 1982 because I thought other bands were better. It took well into the 2010's before I gave them a serious listen. I quickly found that I had been a raving idiot for most of my life. So many years wasted when I could have been enjoying this music. I've tried to isolate why I never enjoyed the songs even though I heard many of them over the years and can't understand why I never understood their music. I still don't know why I missed their talent for so long. At least I eventually realised what I was missing.
Album is amazing from start to finish, but The parchment and Hell on earth are the best songs they wrote the last 30 years. Fantastic performance. Up the irons!!
I agree it's 24 minutes of outstanding music to end a very good back in form maiden album
mind boggling. How the fuck do you listen to the parchment then Hell on earth back to back man it's like masterpiece after masterpiece. Crazy. Great album indeed
Being a fan from 1981, the guitaring in this song is what I've waited nearly three decades to hear again. I'm glad I lived long enough to hear it. Now I can die happier...
I agree : these 2 songs are amazing good !
Passchendaele I'd say is as good as these, perhaps a tad bit better.
I swear, the whole Senjutsu album gets better with every listening.
exactly. I was not thoroughly impressed on the first go and I wasnt really focusing on it. Then I sat calmly and put the album on again. And I was absolutely blown away by the complexity and I had to replay it again and again
OCtber 9 2022 will be my 50th time to see MAIDEN! I've never missed a show since 1983
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✊✊✊✊
Some critics claimed this beeing to long, but I think it's the best song of the album. It grows and grows on you while listening an there is not a second waisted. Instant Classic!
I think Hell on Earth could be shortened, but not The Parchment. Every second worth it. 12 minutes seems like 4
Who cares about the critics??
@@Rafael-pi4md COMPLETELY AGREE, BROTHER. NOT A MOMENT WASTED
@@Rafael-pi4md No way! Hell on Earth is perfect! Should be longer if anything!
@@femaiden2373 the intro is too long
I have liked many bands in my lifetime, but there is only one band that I have loved from the first time I listened to one of their songs: Thank you Bruce, Steve, Dave, Janick, Adrian, Nicko. Maiden Forever.
like me.... the same
dont forget Paul
Yes, me too, since 1982 faithful fan!!!
I'm 38 and I've lived Metal since I was a little kid but I was relatively late to the Iron Maiden party. If memory serves I bought a greatest hits cd second hand back in like '98-'99 that had about 18 songs on it. I was like holy shit I wonder of their albums are all as solid as this (they are up until 7th Son anyway). Somewhere in Time and Book of Souls are my 2 favorite albums by them.
Same here mate, from the first 40 seconds I heard them....that was 1984.
Every time I listen to this song, it gets closer to my favorite place in Maiden top songs. Killer Musicianship!! MAIDENS TALENT WILL NEVER BE BEATEN!!!!
cant get enough with this masterpiece..
It's like "it's finished, fk no, reply!" 6 or 7 times 😉
Masterpiece of a song.
Harris really shows his composing genius again, this song is pure fire and lightning. The riffs!
Perfect song. Amazing
6:44 This riff is damn amazing stuff.
My favorite on BoS was TRATB, this one deserves the title on this album.
@@okagron goosebumps man!....its amazing, and the Bruce voice 🤯
@@okagron Pretty basic stuff.
Nicko's drumming on that song /album is exquisite. What an incredible drummer.
70 years old !!!
I was wondering how he kept it going that whole time.
It is great to hearing and watching him playing. he is just an marvellous drummer.! He has a great teqnique, he must be in wery good shape, a fantastic musician..!
Es un maestro!!!
FACTS
I’ve never seen, in an genre of music, a band put out something like this song (and album) after so long. To me it’s one of their finest achievements in music and their career l. They really are a gift that keeps on giving. UTI
My son and my daughter will inherit all the albums I have from this amazing band and my guitars, as well. They have been growing listening all the metal masters that I have had listen all my life. Among them, the best of all time, Iron Maiden. They will make it the paviment for the soundtrack of their lives.
Like said Dio (Rainbow): Long live rock and roll!
The rock will never die!
Up the IRONS!
My oldest son also.
Dio can you hear me?..
Senjutsu as a whole album has some really outstanding moments but this song has to be the pinnacle of them all.
When the moon will rise again
Until we read the Parthian skin
Broken fears, warring days are here again
'Fore we all to dust descend
Heaven knows when life will end
God to know in the mire, put out the fire
Know there is a cross to bear
In your primal quest of fear
No quarter, now is given no less
Aslumber was my main ideal
Asunder did my spirit steal
Sceptred race uttered words in disgrace
Sweet revenge will be ours
Vengeance of a shaken world
Just remember that patience is no sin
And to find another way
Live to breathe another day
Lord of light in the darkness, our guide
In a tempest never shaken
Edge of doom is not mistaken
Countenance is not a sin
Gallant king, we bow to him
Fierce as wolf with a leopard skin
Dark and bitter, deep within
Invader punished with his life
Vanquished in the morning
Sea of blood in light divine
Unholy reverence enjoyed
Intoxicated with their hell
Man immortal sickness dwell
Savage beasts troops engage
Assembled here to butcher blades
Smoke has darkened in the air
Smell of death and deep despair
Wilderness, a tyrant dream
Sell your soul, not give them power
Slay upon imperial crown
Witness now the witching hour
Bound himself to oath and king
Such loyalty, a shameless thing
Youth of agony still burn
Shedding parents blood
Never say a prayer to me
For this crime, treachery
Drinking from your cup of wisdom true
Many men will follow you
Now an army is raised
And our Gods, they be praised
Death is but a gilted edge
Shall no more than we will pledge
Hear the cry
We are ready to believe
The prodigal has returned
Give us our own revenge
With the power he learned
We will burn the same again
A betrayal of angels in a foreign land
A revenge for the merciful destiny at hand
For all those who have written in the sand will be told
That the same will happen
Searching for gold
Like a fire in the sky
I can feel strength return
Heading for afterlife
Meet me there
My God!!!, sublime masterpiece, Iron Maiden in all its splendor
Maiden showing why they are considered Metal royalty. Up the fuckin’ Irons! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This song is brilliant. There's so much different things going on and it still sounds like Maiden. The riff that kicks in at 09:20 is everything you expect in a Maiden song. Masterpiece!
4:16
It's like "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son"!
@MANUEL MORANCHEL the program!😂
This album will stand as a relic to the discipline and love for hardcore metal! Long live iron maiden!!!! In our hearts and in our souls!
I can't put this goddamn album down. Been a Maiden fan for a long time, but there's something so strangely addictive about Senjutsu.
No shit brother/ sister. Maiden on another level.
This album is like Ruffles potato chips, betcha cant eat just one. Ive listened to at least a dozen or more times and each song has a certain style, mood and musical story. Its so good I cant believe it. 😎
The lyrics and music of this great song, simply epic
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Music created by Steve Harris
This song is off the chart
OH MY GOD!!!!! I got goosebumps hearing those riffs over and over again.... MAJESTIC!!!!! UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!
igual a mi. está salvaje este album
After 51 years alive, I've finally shortened it.
Top 5 Maiden songs,
Duellists
The Parchment
The number of the beast
Caught somewhere in time
Infinite dreams
the best song on the album
