Season 2 is coming...

Maiden Voyage

That's right, friends! After a lengthy hiatus, Maiden Voyage is returning to continue the chronological journey through Iron Maiden's studio albums. Stu and Ed will pick up where they left off, beginning with the band's 10th studio album, The X-Factor.

In this brief Season 2 intro, Ed offers "reasons" for the lengthy delay in releasing new episodes, looks back at the album rankings from Season 1, sets the stage for where things stood for the band after Fear of the Dark, and explains that all episodes will be released for free!

New episodes will start releasing Friday, January 10! What a time to be alive!
