Turns out Iron Maiden's Hallowed Be Thy Name played on bagpipes is pretty cool

Piper Ally and Bruce Dickinson on stage

We've heard all manners of Iron Maiden covers over the years, from a medieval version of Hallowed Be Thy Name to The Conjuring's Vera Farmiga smashing a cover of The Trooper. Hell, we even put together our own ultimate covers version of The Number Of The Beast in honour of that classic album's 40th birthday last year. Today, however, we actually think we've stumbled on something new in the Maiden covers game: Hallowed Be Thy Name played on the bagpipes.

The unlikely reimagining was brought to the world courtesy of bagpipe supremo and TikTok star Piper Ally, whose version of the legendary Number Of The Beast album closer was shared by Iron Maiden themselves on the social media platform.
