apart from "If eternity should fail (Demo)" by Bruce Dickinson, and "If eternity should fail" by Iron Maiden, there is also "Eternity has failed" from the upcoming album. It will probably be an evolution of the demo song, I am curious.

@@humanactivated1017 Haven't bothered with Maiden since The Final Frontier. They have solid albums from Brave New World through Dance of Death and finally to A Matter of Life and Death. But I don't like any album they've made after these. Each of these newer albums have exactly one song I enjoy, but the rest just sound weird and off imo. Obviously, the vast majority of fans disagree with me, but that's their prerogative.

@@humanactivated1017 I have been a Maiden fan since a friend gave me Powerslave back in 1985. If I had to pick between the classic albums with Bruce (Number of the Beast through Fear of the Dark) or the new albums with Bruce (Brave New World through Senjutsu) I would have a very hard time making that choice. The classic stuff is more metal with the newer stuff being more proggy (which I like.) Speaking of giving things a chance, have you ever listened to Bruce's Skunkworks album? I love it. It is the least metal of his solo records but it is great hearing his voice being used for a different style of music.

I find it difficult to judge Bruce's original version: Firstly, it's a demo so who knows how it would have sounded once finished for the album!

Unfortunately I missed the uploaded demo track before it got taken down. It's hard to compare a demo track from a different band with the same singer but a different overall feeling. Demo tracks are very raw in both production values and feeling vs the final version we'll hear on the solo album, so I'll wait until the solo album is released to pass any judgement. That said, I do agree with you that I like the much more audible bass in the demo which adds a lot of texture to the song. Hopefully that remains true in the final version! And I can't wait for the Christmas T-shirt to arrive. It'll be a nice addition to the glow in the dark King Diamond Halloween T-shirt I bought this year. 🤘🤘🤘 BTW, have you heard Tarja's Dark Christmas album. Her voice is a bit too operatic for me, but I appreciate her approach 😈 I stand in solidarity with Ukraine, wish you and your family the best heading into a difficult winter, and apologize for the lack of action my country (USA) is taking right now solely due to internal political strife.
