Episode 53: 'Powerslave' with Emlee Johansson

Emlee Johansson, drummer of Swedish rockers Thundermother joins
Mike to discuss Iron Maiden's iconic 5th album 'Powerslave'.


Amongst an unparalleled run of albums from Maiden in the 1980s,
for many (including Emlee), 'Powerslave' sits as the pinnacle of
the legendary metal band's career. Emlee recalls hearing opening
track 'Aces High' for the first time and how this directly
impacted her own journey into music.


Which song on 'Powerslave' harkens back to themes from 'The
Number of The Beast'?


How has Nicko McBrain influenced Emlee's own drumming style?


Over 30 years since the release of '2 Minutes To Midnight', how
much closer has the world come to doomsday?


PLUS: Hear 'Driving In Style', an awesome cut from
Thundermother's latest album 'Heat Wave'


Horns in the air for another episode of 'My Classic Album'.
