"Futureal" is a single from the Iron Maiden album Virtual XI, released in 1998. It is the last single by the band to feature vocalist Blaze Bayley, as he parted ways with the band in February 1999.

Synopsis

The song was voted as one of the most popular Iron Maiden songs of all time in a fan poll taken during the making of the Ed Hunter album and video game. The cover of the single depicts band mascot Eddie, in CG form, as the cyborg form he had on Somewhere in Time.

A 1999 live recording of this song appears on the band's next single release, "The Wicker Man".

The single came with a poster by Derek Riggs.[1]
