Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden

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"
