Finland's Steve 'N' Seagulls are famous for their wild bluegrass-tinged folk-music covers of heavy metal classics. You might remember their cover of Iron Maiden’s "The Trooper."

Now, the Scandinavian boys are back with a banjo/stand-up bass/accordion cover of another Maiden tune, "Aces High."

"Aces High," a song written from the vantage point of an RAF pilot fighting the German Luftwaffe over the skies of Britain in WWII, was featured on Iron Maiden's 1984 album, Powerslave.
