On The Precipice of Adventure

The Mage of Doom in the Land of Mist and Illusion

Here’s another favorite song of mine that I think is very under appreciated: Flash of the Blade by Iron Maiden. Its off of the Powerslave album which I gues a lot of people don’t like? Which I don’t understand why, Aces High, 2 Minutes to Midnight, and Powerslave are on this album! Then again I heard this from Andy, who heard this from his drum teacher who doesn’t like Nicko McBrain, so I’ll take it with a grain of salt.

Just the way the song starts off gets me going. I love the urgency, the feel of the song. Again, this would be another Final Boss fight music. A lot of the music I like I think of in terms of scenes, or what pops into my head when I first hear it.

I just feel like no one ever mentions this song, or even likes it when they do when its so awesome. I should find more “obscure” metal songs to post…

    I’m starting to think it was my fiance’s drum teacher’s bias. XD

    People don’t like this album? What the fuck. This is my favorite Iron Maiden album. Every song on it is just amazing.
