IRON MAIDEN - Classical Composer Reacts To "The Number Of The Beast"; Video

Classical composer, R. Douglas Helvering, has uploaded the video below, along with the following message:

"In this edition of #TheDailyDoug, I'm returning to Iron Maiden for one of their classic early tracks. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this past week, 'The Number Of The Beast' is one of the more controversial tunes from IM's catalog... especially with its overt Biblical references. This is my first time hearing it... and I have thoughts. I hope you enjoy!"
