That's funny, today I came across this folk/progressive rock album, recorded in 1978. Also I found out something else (read on). Title: Fear of the Dark audio part 1 audio part 2 (beautiful music by the way!) According to allmusic.com Steve Harris co-wrote the title track (which is nonsense, the site must have mixed up his 1992 song). More important: check the logo of the artist on the cover: I am pretty sure Steve Harris' inspiration for the Iron Maiden logo must have come from one of Gordon Giltrap's albums. Big chance it might have been this earlier, 1976 album Visionary. on which the music is inspired by the words of poet William Blake(!) Maybe some of you already knew this, but I can't imagine ' Arry hadn't seen this record sleeve. He surely was into such music, and this stuff came out around the time Maiden started playing concerts. Of course this whole theory is wrong if we can find out if Steve had created the band's logo before the album came out. I don't know the exact release date of Visionary, only that it must have come out in 1976 (probably in the second half of that year). I also tend to believe that Bruce might have known this artist, who maybe increased his interest for William Blake. Charming detail: On Visionary we can find Revelation (audio link) and Jerusalem (audio link). More on Giltrap from wiki: Gordon Giltrap (born, at the British Home for Mothers and Babies, Brenchley, Kent) is an English acoustic and electric guitarist and composer, whose musical styles cross multiple genres, including folk, blues, folk rock, pop, classical and rock. Giltrap started to learn the guitar at the age of twelve. Never receiving any formal tuition on the instrument, he gradually developed his own style and technique. His musical career started to take off in the 1960s, when he played the folk scene in London alongside contemporaries such as Bert.

Please read the following description using your internal monologue with an echo effect. Metal Lord is a an angular metal font created in 1996. Metal Lord has been completely redrawn, spaced and kerned. It’s a bit heavier than it used to be and thanks to the discovery of additional reference material is has a slightly different design. The original version of Metal Lord was loosely extrapolated from the letters in the Iron Maiden logo using the powers of imagination. and the powers of Satan. You hardcore Maiden fans may recognize some of the letters from their late 1980’s official calendars. I later discovered that same font was used in 1976 for the poster for David Bowie film, The Man who Fell to Earth as well as on a real estate paperback book cover from 1979. With these extra resources I was able to piece together a better representation of this font. I still haven’t been able to figure out who designed the original: if you find out please let me know. The last version contained a rather ridiculous lowercase script S which I spotted the 1988 calendar. I moved it out of the main set but you can still get at it if you want. In Open Type apps, you can select it using the ‘stylistic alternates’ feature but I don’t recommend it. If you use Metal Lord in an Open Type savvy application, you’ll see magic stuff going on: letters occasionally flip, tuck and grow little flags to fit nicely together, but not so much as to be distracting. I’ve added lots of punctuation, symbols, fractions and numeric ordinals, to the delight of high school teachers everywhere, I’m sure.
