That’s amazing! Could you please post a link where you got the 2020 patch?? Did they make new 2020 patches as well?
Lord Lexy on
I've seen the patch pop up on Nuclear Blast [1] and a few sellers on eBay (but I can't find them at the moment). Keep an eye out for them and check regularly!
Either the new run is limited as well, or it is still in the phase of being sent to various distributors. I wonder why they specifically chose A Matter of Life and Death, and not the post-2000 releases.

Hi Frankie,
yes! there are 2020 official, licensed, AMOLAD patches. I immediately bought 6 just to make sure 😅 Just in case those got printed in very small amounts. Hopefully they will also do a run of the Final Frontier!
They are on ebay, and they send international. Check items: 274542675254 and 274543131793
In case shipping is ridiculous, please let me know. I can ship unregistered for 1.50-3.00 euro, and till now I never had any problems sending patches like that to the States.
frankie530 on
Thank you both so much! Bought from eBay bought 3 shipping was reasonable 😁
Heavy Metal Chemist on
Hahaha 😂 I see you took your chance as well! This 2011 version is so hard to find that I went crazy when I saw these pop up. Luckily I'm not the only one 😅
frankie530 on
Lol yep exactly, didn’t want to risk it becoming like the 2011 version! 😂 hoping they make a new official final frontier too maybe even a new X factor or an official woven virtual xi!
frankie530 on
In any case just glad they’re still making new official woven patches
Lord Lexy on
I’d like that, and there exists a 2011 version of Brave New World that is worthy of a re-release as well!
Heavy Metal Chemist on
Same here man! There are quite some cool designs out there that deserve a re-run. Hoping for Virus, Hooks in You, X-factor, Brave New World, and Wickerman.
Who knows they will also make some new back patches 😱
frankie530 on
Absolutely! Maybe even a new Powerslave coffin Eddie back patch..fingers crossed 😁 so many great designs they can do!
oldmate
HAHAHA am I the only idiot who got 1 ? should I get more. I will also post side by side images when I get this.
I am hoping for a 2020 Death on the road patch. I will get 6 of them :)
Heavy Metal Chemist on
🙈😅 No...you are the idiot who is actually thinks rational 😅 In my defense, I do have multiple vests where this patch will go on. I was just afraid this was a crazy limited run again, so I took my chances 😅
oldmate
smart move. You can always sell or gift the ones you dont need.
frankie530 on
If anyone was interested, I contacted Razamataz and they are the creator of the woven maiden patches still so they made the 2020 amolad and told me it is likely there will be more woven maiden patches this year to come. Good news!
Lord Lexy on
I most definitely am! Thanks for letting us know. 🤘 Looks like the collection will be growing.
Heavy Metal Chemist on
Thanks for asking Frankie! They didn't give you a little spoiler? And this year they will be released? Can't wait for Christmas (something I normally never say 🤪)
I really expect complete new designs actually since those 2011 patches were produced millions at the time it seems. I'm really curious what's next.
frankie530 on
No problem! And no spoilers from them sadly just said that it is likely more woven designs will be coming soon, also no information if these 2020 AMOLAD’s were a limited release or mass produced like the 2011 powerslaves etc. I’m curious too but hoping for some redesigned old designs and some that have never been done before! 😁
frankie530 on
Ok I was able to get a bit more info through the contact as Razamataz - these will not be limited like the 2011 AMOLAD patches were and will be available continuously. And I have a small spoiler for the next Maiden patch reissue 😁 - next patch design released will be a reissue of No Prayer for the Dying!
Heavy Metal Chemist on
You are doing a great job man 😆 I basically bought 6 for nothing 😅
Thanks for this spoiler! I'm very curious how it will look. Hopefully this means they will do many more designs they have not done since the 90's. I'm really looking forward!
Thanks Frankie!
Lord Lexy on
Doing the Lord's work indeed! Looking forward to this and other new releases. I'm hoping the jump in quality between the original No Prayer patch and the new one will be similar to the one we had with the 2011 Powerslave, one of (if not the) most stunning Maiden patches.
Heavy Metal Chemist on
I'm really curious! One thing I really like about the vintage patches is the use of glitter which seems to be completely gone on post-2000 licensed patches. So I guess it will already significantly differ from the vintage one based on that.
Did you mean the jump in quality from the 2007 Powerslave to the 2011 Powerslave small patch? That one is indeed a step up. It should definitely not go the way the back patches went. Compare the 1984 Powerslave patches to the 2011 one..It's day and night.
Lord Lexy on
Yes, that’s the Powerslave I’m talking about. Lots of detail and life added.
The 2004 Seventh Son patch does have some glitter in it, though, the very last version does not.
oldmate
there are 2 of the power slave 2011 versions. The only difference is the copy right from what I can tell. I dont have them both
Heavy Metal Chemist on
Really? I know there is a 2007 and 2011 Powerslave but two 2011 versions I didn't know off. Curious to see the differences.
Lord Lexy on
I think I’ve seen it on eBay for €80.
I’ve added this picture to the site.

Thanks
it would be so good if they published all the patches they made each year
Horstmen on
Nice to hear, thanks guys!
doctordeath on
this is an excellent post!!!
Lord Lexy on
I’m very glad to read that. 😁
doctordeath on
what about the copyright text? does it exist on the new one or is it sorta trimmed half off at the bottom there?
Heavy Metal Chemist on
The copyright is there, but it is a brown color underneath 'A Matter of Life and Death'. The contrast between that brown color and the back ground is bad and very hard to see.
