Black Sabbath - Wings of Thunder / No Time to Die (Lost Media)

Wings of Thunder and No Time to Die are 2 titles of the same song that was recorded in the Tyr (1990) album sessions but has not been released.

The first mention of this song was made by Tony Martin in 2004 on his official site, where he mentioned songs from his next album Scream (2005), and that 2 songs would use drum tracks by Cozy Powell, also adding that these songs were composed at the time of Black Sabbath:

"The two tracks that I have put on the album are called Raising Hell and Wings of Thunder. They originate from the SABBATH days and I did play the demos to him when we were doin' (COZY POWELLS) HAMMER, he thought they were really good. They are very much Cozy-type tracks and it's taken me AGES!! I was determined to get it right! I'm very pleased with the way they turned out. If the tracks prove successfull I'll do a complete album of new songs with his drum tracks."

Although the song Raising Hell appeared on the album, there was no trace of Wings of Thunder and it is unknown why it was not included.

Tony Martin would mention these songs again in an interview with Garry Sharpe-Young of Rockdetector in 2006:

"Yeah, about two years actually. I was a bit of a perfectionist over it I must admit. It was a big learning curve too. A big part of that was the drums. I had Cozy Powell's tracks from the 'Raising Hell' song and I really felt the need to pay Cozy respect with that. The trouble was that I then had to make the rest of the drums fit in , so it sounded like a whole album. There was a lot of work bringing songs in line just on the drum sound. Actually, I need to make a slight correction there. 'Raising Hell' was never a Black Sabbath song. It was being put together at the time of the COZY POWELL'S HAMMER band so the demo you have is me on guitar, Neil on bass, Geoff on keyboards and Cozy on the drums. The other song, 'Wings of Thunder', which we didn't use in the end, was a Black Sabbath song."


Long after, on December 2, 2019, Tony Martin mentioned this song again on his Facebook page, this time mentioning that there is another version of this same song with the name of No Time to Die, and confirming that it was made during the Tyr album sessions:

"There was an un released song on the TYR album … 🙂 I did 2 versions of it … I wonder if it will ever see the light of day. … I just came across it again going through stuff while transferring tapes. One version was called "Wings of thunder" .. and the other version was called .. "No time to die"  … Thought for the day!"

Bruce Dickinson — If Eternity Should Fail (Demo)

This demo was originally recorded as a solo song by Bruce Dickinson, produced in 2014 in Roy Z's living room. This song would be re-recorded for Iron Maiden on the album The Book of Souls  (2015). As can hear in the demo, the beginning with the keyboards and vocal lines are technically the same as those used in the Iron Maiden version. This version is found exclusively on the 7" vinyl version of the single Afterglow of Ragnarok (2023) from the album The Mandrake Project (2024). Note: BMG claimed the video I uploaded to YouTube and they deleted it. So I'll upload the video here. — Listen: — Lyrics: Here is the soul of a man Here in this place for the taking Clothed in white, stand in the light Here is the soul of a man Time to speak with the shaman again Conjure the jester again Black dog in the ruins is howling my name So here is the soul of a man When the world was virgin Before the coming of man Just a solar witness The beginning of the end From a world of magma To ...

10. Iron Maiden - Total Eclipse (A-Side)

Total Eclipse  is a song that had been recorded in the sessions for the album The Number of the Beast (1982) and that first appeared on the single Run to the Hills as a b-side. When the band recorded the 9 songs on the album, one of them had to be left out. For the release of the single Run to the Hills , they were between 2 songs to use as a b-side: Gangland and Total Eclipse . They finally chose to use the latter. Steve Harris has stated that he regrets leaving this song out, despite the fact that he feels that the lyrics of said song did not fit the theme of the album (and without necessarily being a concept album). For some reason, it doesn't appear in Best of the B'Sides in Eddie's Archive (2002). Most likely, this song had already been played live before, and that's why it was already known. The song was performed live on tour for The Number of the Beast album in 1982, and appears on the live album Beast over Hammersmith of the Eddie's Archive (2002). ...
