Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden, formed in 1975 in East London by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris, stands as one of the most successful and influential bands in heavy metal. Over the decades, the band has cultivated a storied career, marked by their high-energy performances, literary and historical themes, and pioneering musicianship in the metal genre. The band's iconic mascot, "Eddie," has graced album covers and merchandise, becoming a symbol of the band's enduring impact on heavy metal culture.

Iron Maiden's lineup has evolved over the years, with Bruce Dickinson serving as the lead vocalist for most of its history, along with guitarist and songwriter Adrian Smith, guitarist Dave Murray, drummer Nicko McBrain, and guitarist Janick Gers. Their discography spans over four decades and includes landmark albums like "The Number of the Beast," "Piece of Mind," and "Powerslave." The band's recent work, including the critically acclaimed double album "The Book of Souls" and their latest offering, "Senjutsu," demonstrate their relentless drive to explore new musical territories while maintaining the classic Iron Maiden sound that has rallied legions of fans worldwide. Their live albums and performances, as evident in "Nights of the Dead, Legacy of the Beast: Live in Mexico City," continue to capture the electricity and spectacle of their epic stage shows, which often feature elaborate set designs and storytelling elements.
