Now That’s What I Call
Iron Meowden!

The cats who will never surrender — paws up for Iron Meowden.

Not available in any store!*

Iron Maiden built heavy metal's most elaborate mythology around Eddie, a zombie mascot who has stalked every stage from Warsaw to Rio. We looked at that legacy — the galloping bass, the Egyptian grandeur, the literary ambition — and asked one obvious question: what if Eddie had been a cat all along? Iron Meowden answers it, album by album, fur by fur.

Rumour has it Steve Harris keeps a Pawerslave hoodie hidden under his bass cabinet — but EMI's merch contract specifically forbids anything this good, so the whole band has to wear the boring official stuff instead.

Liner notes

  • Producer Martin Birch reversed his car into a minibus full of nuns during the Number of the Beast sessions. When the repair bill arrived it read exactly £666. He paid £667 instead.

  • The World Slavery Tour supporting Powerslave ran 331 days, covered 28 countries, and included 189 shows — one of the longest tours in rock history. It was also the first time a heavy metal band had taken a full production behind the Iron Curtain, playing Warsaw and Budapest.

  • Eddie the mascot started life as a papier-mâché mask moulded from lighting technician Dave 'Lights' Beazley's own face. Art student David Arthur Brown built it; a fish-tank pump squirted fake blood from its mouth during gigs.

  • Illustrator Derek Riggs originally drew the Eddie artwork for a punk record. He later added more hair at the band's request — and based the face on a photograph of a Japanese soldier's head mounted on a US tank in Vietnam.

Frequently screamed questions

What is Iron Meowden?

Iron Meowden is Brutal Kittens' parody tribute to Iron Maiden — the same galloping riffs, the same epic ambition, but with cats running the whole operation. Eddie has been replaced by a feline who is, frankly, more menacing.

Which designs are available?

Right now we have two designs: Pawerslave (inspired by the 1984 Egyptian-era masterpiece) and Troopurr (a nod to the Trooper, the soldier who has been on the front lines of every Iron Maiden gig since 1980). Both come in tees, hoodies, crop tops, and more.

Is this officially licensed by Iron Maiden?

No — this is an independent parody. Brutal Kittens is not affiliated with Iron Maiden or their management. We're just fans who think cats and heavy metal are the two greatest forces in the universe.

Do the shirts hold up after washing?

Multiple verified buyers report no fading or cracking after repeated washes. Air-drying is recommended to keep the print crisp, but the shirts have survived the full brutal laundry experience.

Do the sizes run true?

Several buyers note that sizes run slightly small. If you're between sizes, go up one — especially for the unisex cuts.
