I think they should have done the vocals differently. More aggression would do good IMO.

All in all the original is far better than this cover version. This is a bit lukewarm, which is a shame, because I love Heathen.

What Maiden covers do you people like? I’m partial to Cradle of Filth’s Hallowed Be Thy Name.

    I think vocals are fine, though even lowering the key it still calls to reach high notes the singer can't reach. Can't dig the drum eq though.

    Saw this in the feed last night, was thinking about how bland it is as I was listening lol. At least the solo is half decent!

    I think they missed a great opportunity. Strange to record sth with so little ambition.

    They've been phoning it in these past few years i think. Only really liked the instrumental from the previous album lol. Their revival album was amazing though, like 15+ years ago.
