Iron Maiden


"The Clansman" is a track by Iron Maiden, appearing on their eleventh studio album Virtual XI, released on 23 March 1998. The album featured vocalist Blaze Bayley and marked a distinctive period in the band's history. For electric guitar players, the song is a rewarding study in Iron Maiden's signature twin-guitar harmonies, galloping riffs, and epic song structures that define classic heavy metal technique.

  • Virtual XI was Iron Maiden's second and final album recorded with vocalist Blaze Bayley, giving the record a unique place in the band's catalog.
  • The album marked the debut of a slightly modified Iron Maiden logo, with uniform letter sizing replacing the previously extended R, M, and N.
  • Learning 'The Clansman' gives guitarists exposure to Iron Maiden's trademark galloping rhythms and melodic dual-guitar interplay central to their style.
