Dylan Gers , son of Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers released his new single "Talisman" this Friday
. The song will be part of the EP Melancholic Madman , which will be released on July 15th by the independent label Sly-Tone .
Inspired by the NWOBHM, the track also features drummer Noah Yorke , son of Thom Yorke , the lead singer of Radiohead.
In a press release, Dylan Gers commented on the single: “This song came from a place that felt almost ancestral, with the homage to the devil at the crossroads. It’s a bit about bargaining with your demons, carrying your past like an amulet. I wanted it to sound ancient and futuristic at the same time.”
Other children of Iron Maiden members have also followed their passion for music. Austin , son of
vocalist Bruce Dickinson, led the bands Rise To Remain and As Lions , while his other son,
Griffin, is the vocalist for Shvpes.
George , son of bassist Steve Harris, is one of the founding guitarists of the band The Raven Age , which performed in Brazil opening for Iron Maiden in 2019.
