Description

At the time of writing this book, it has been forty, yes, FORTY years since the release of Iron Maiden’s first album, a cult classic whose final track is the only song the band have played at every single one of their concerts. With indisputable classics like ‘Phantom of the Opera’, ‘Running Free’ and ‘Transylvania’, Iron Maiden weren’t like other bands of the era, who were trying to ‘defeat’ the omnipresent genre of punk music and usurp the movement. Rather, they embraced it wholeheartedly, and injected a dose of punk ‘medicine’ into the veins of the slightly tired hard rock genre, medicine that would turn these leaders of NWOBHM into world famous stars, and reshape heavy metal with new strength. 1980’s album ‘Iron Maiden’ is a true demonstration of this unstoppable force. This book contains a large number of fantastic photographs, documents, memorabilia and everything else that will make this journey into the past very exciting.
