In part one of a two-part episode, Somewhere in Time Podcast welcomes Fern and Chris from the premiere east coast Iron Maiden Tribute band, Eyes of the Nile, to discuss the albums Fear of the Dark and The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden. Both these albums celebrated milestone anniversaries recently, with Fear of the Dark celebrating its 30th and Number of the Beast celebrating its 40th. Number of the Beast was also the first album to feature Bruce Dickinson on lead vocals and Fear of the Dark was the last, before Bruce’s hiatus from 1993-1999. Part one of this two-part episode covers the album Fear of the Dark.

It’s been exactly FIVE years since the first episode of Somewhere in Time Podcast was released. 102 episodes and over 12K streams later, and we’re not planning to quit anytime soon. We are on a bit of an extended hiatus at the moment, but we do plan to return to discuss 1993 albums and much more later this year. In the meantime, please enjoy some of our favorite moments from albums that are celebrating 35-year anniversaries this year. 

Tim, Joe, and Eric take a look back on the best albums of 2022. There were a really good number of albums from 2022 that garnered discussion. Far more than can be listed in this summary! However, some of the favorites from the year include “Impera” by Ghost, “Sunrise on Slaughter Beach” by Clutch, “Of Kingdom and Crown” by Machine Head, “The End, So Far” by Slipknot, and “Synchro Anarchy” by Voivod. 

In this episode of Somewhere in Time Podcast, the topic of conversation is the 40th anniversary of two punk rock debut classics – Bad Brains’ self-titled and Walk Among Us by Misfits. There is a lot to discuss with both of these albums, as they were both pretty important for the scene.

In the second part of their 2-part episode on the Pantera album Vulgar Display of Power, Somewhere in Time podcast do a track-by-track breakdown of the album. Not only is there insight on the musical aspect of the album, but there are some interesting facts about some of the lyrics and subject matter of each song. Find out where this album ranks amongst the entire Pantera collection (no surprise here…) and a lot more.
