In keeping with the Bible theme, today's Metal Track originates from the book of Revelations. This is The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden off of their 1982 album by the same name. This is one of the most iconic songs by Iron Maiden and heavy metal in general. That scream following the opening verse is legendary.
The opening quote comes from Revelations 12:12 and 13:18:
"Woe to you, oh Earth and sea, for the Devil sends the Beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Beast
For it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty six"
Exploring Heavy Metal and all its glory. Heavy Metal is often misunderstood and thought to be just a bunch of guys banging and screaming when in fact it can be extremely thoughtful, intelligent, and sincere. Expect some throw-down-head-banging, chill mood metal, and gloomy death metal that you're probably not going to hear on the radio. On the weekends we'll mix things up with a Weekend Wildcard and an Easy Like Sunday Morning Track to get you over your hangover!
