What 1995 Iron Maiden album  graphically depicts the band's mascot, Eddie, being vivisected by machine?
The X Factor (album) The X Factor is the tenth studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 2 October 1995 through EMI. It is the first of two albums by the band to include Blaze Bayley, formerly of Wolfsbane, as vocalist, replacing Bruce Dickinson who left the band following their previous tour to pursue a solo career. The album takes a darker tone than the band's first nine releases, due to the lyrics being based on personal issues surrounding Steve Harris at the time, who was in the midst of a divorce. This is reflected in the cover artwork, which graphically depicts the band's mascot, Eddie, being vivisected by machine.
Bright Eyes (Blind Guardian song) "Bright Eyes" is a single by the German metal band Blind Guardian, released, in Japan only, in 1995 by the Japanese recording label Victor Entertainment. It has the same cover art as the "Mr. Sandman" single (1996). It has a slightly different track listing than "Mr. Sandman" as it includes the demo version of "A Past and Future Secret". Demo versions of "Imaginations From The Other Side" and "A Past and Future Secret" have some differences in lyrics from the ones on the album "Imaginations from the Other Side".
