Maiden’s Evil Hour: The Beast Joins 28 Years Later Scene
Iron Maiden’s The Number Of The Beast (1982) features in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, playing during a climactic bones-on-dance moment. The track’s notoriety stems from 1980s satanic-panic controversy, which Bruce Dickinson says actually boosted publicity as fans bought records to see the backlash. The song anchors Maiden’s landmark album The Number Of The Beast, which topped the UK charts, cost about £28,000 to make, and produced other classics like Run To The Hills and Hallowed Be Thy Name, cementing the band’s rise from era legends to global icons.
