Composed almost exclusively by Bruce Dickinson, Empire Of The Clouds has taken the place of Rime of the Ancient Mariner as Iron Maiden's longest song, at 18 minutes.
In an interview with Total Guitar magazine, Adrian Smith described the process: “Bruce worked on the music for a month, alone. Every day we would go to the studio to jam and he would be in the soundproof booth playing the piano. Like Beethoven composing his work. I think he composed every single note of the music.”
