Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden, the quintessential British heavy metal band, burst onto the scene in 1975, forging a legacy that would reshape the landscape of rock music.

Founded by bassist Steve Harris, the band’s classic lineup crystallized in the early ’80s with the addition of Bruce Dickinson’s operatic vocals and the dual guitar assault of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith.

Maiden’s epic compositions, literary and historical themes, and iconic mascot “Eddie” set them apart from their peers. Albums like “The Number of the Beast” (1982) and “Powerslave” (1984) cemented their status as metal gods.

Despite lineup changes and the rise of grunge, Maiden’s popularity never waned. Their 2021 album “Senjutsu” showcases their continued relevance, with tracks like “Lost in a Lost World” demonstrating their ability to blend introspective lyrics with thunderous instrumentals.

With over 100 million records sold worldwide and a fanatical global following, Iron Maiden remains a tour de force in metal, influencing generations of musicians and consistently delivering high-octane live performances that are the stuff of legend.
