Seems like we're staying with Brave New World for now. That's not a problem to me. This is the shortest track on the album, very immediate given that it runs for four minutes only, but there's certainly nothing lost by its being so short. A real punchy little song, presumably about the Fall of Satan, and if so, then one of the few songs Maiden have written with any sort of religious/satanic bent since “The Number of the Beast”. Another great one to headbang to, and a fine hook in the song.
