Press meets new heavy metal band (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
iron maiden
'metal band' is the definition.
(I know that Iron Maiden is a metal band)
'press meets new heavy' is the wordplay.
'press' becomes 'iron' (ironing is a kind of pressing).
'meets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'new heavy' becomes 'maiden' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'iron'+'maiden'='IRON MAIDEN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iron maiden that I've seen before include "Box-shaped instrument of torture - no meridian (anag)" , "used to inflict pain" , "Instrument of torture (a hinged case lined with spikes)" , "a suit, very sharp underneath the surface" , "Group" .)
