IRON MAIDEN

The eighth full-length live album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
Recorded at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany on 24 November 2003, during the Dance of Death World Tour (2003–2004), "Death On The Road" deviates little from Iron Maiden's countless other live shows. While blissfully heavy on the band's excellent - and suitably theatrical - new material, longtime fans do not need any more live versions of "Number of the Beast", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", "Run to the Hills", or "The Trooper". All that said, Iron Maiden do not disappoint, laying to waste any notions that they can't hold themselves to the performance standards of their younger days.
Even Bruce Dickinson, despite a voice that's now often more choked than feral, can barely keep himself from leaping into the crowd, and it's that kind of enthusiasm that makes each and every live release - and there are a lot of them - worthwhile to some degree!

First remastered re-release of the second full-length album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
The album was their first with guitarist Adrian Smith and their last with vocalist Paul Di'Anno, who was sacked after problems with his stage performance arose due to his alcohol and cocaine use.
This sophomore Iron Maiden's effort is mostly composed of pre-existing material that had been left off the debut, with just a few new additions. It's certainly a better-sounding release than the debut, with new producer Martin Birch beefing up the band's studio presence and lending their instrumental attack a newfound clarity that throws their considerable skills into sharp relief. In fact, this helps mask the fact that the songwriting isn't quite as strong overall as it was on the debut. But the teaming of new guitarist Adrian Smith with Dave Murray forms the most formidable twin-guitar attack in Heavy Metal, outside of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing. Plus, bassist Steve Harris' busy, driving lines are now consistently audible in the mix. The resulting instrumental fireworks are what truly make the album tick. That said, there's a much smaller percentage of catalog standards here than on the previous album.
"Wrathchild" is the standout, re-recorded here with Smith on guitar from an earlier version for the "Metal For Muthas" compilation. There's a fair bit of unity in the lyrical themes, with a parade of murderers, fugitives, and characters otherwise torn from their roots. "Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a first-person retelling of the Poe short story, and the title track is another highlight, with Paul Di'Anno turning in an especially menacing performance. The single "Purgatory" has a catchy singalong chorus and a tempo worthy of Motörhead, while "Twilight Zone" (not included on the U.K. issue, but added to subsequent releases) scraped the bottom of the British charts. The biggest departure here is the almost Supertramp-like Prog-Pop of "Prodigal Son," a melodic, uptempo offering with an arrangement based around acoustic guitars.
Despite some inconsistency in the material, "Killers" is clearly the work of a top-notch ensemble, and in order to take the next step forward, their musical ambitions were clearly going to require a vocalist as technically accomplished as the band. It's worth noting that some Maiden fans actually prefer the rawness of the Di'Anno years to the polish of the Bruce Dickinson era (though, it should also be noted, they're in the minority).
"Killers" is a monumental record, real Heavy Metal with powerful lyrics, real grit, a superb urban atmosphere, genuine heaviness and no pretentiousness! This is absolutely essential Metal classic!
Remastered enhanced edition contains multimedia part with full-length videos, exclusive band biographies, photo galleries, internet links and much more!

Remastered re-release of the eighth full-length studio album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
"No Prayer For The Dying" is one of the best Metal albums of 1990. Although it received generally mixed to negative reviews, the album peaked at No. 2 in the UK Albums Chart and contains the band's only UK Singles Chart No. 1, "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter".
The album departed from the keyboard- and synthesiser-saturated Progressive Rock direction of the band's two previous studio outings (1986's "Somewhere In Time" and 1988's "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son") in favour of a more "stripped down", straight forward style, reminiscent of the band's earlier material, which ushered in a change of vocal style for Bruce Dickinson from the operatic sound of the 1980s to a raspier way of singing. The album also departed from literary and historical lyrical themes in favour of more political content, with songs focusing on religious exploitation and social concerns. It's the only Iron Maiden studio album to date without a song exceeding six minutes in length and the only one to contain profanity in the lyrics.
Album marks band's first line-up change since 1983; guitarist Adrian Smith left the band during the pre-production phase, unhappy with the musical direction it was taking, and only having contributed to one song, "Hooks in You". Smith was replaced by Janick Gers, who had previously worked with singer Bruce Dickinson on his first solo-album, "Tattooed Millionaire", and had also worked with Ian Gillan and  White Spirit.
It was also the band's first release with Epic Records in the US, after the band left Capitol Records, but was sold through EMI for all territories outside the US.
The original 1990 version has cover picture where Eddie bursting from his grave and grabbing a grave-digger by the neck. As the band's manager, Rod Smallwood, disliked the figure, he asked artist Derek Riggs to remove him from the cover for the 1998 re-release, although the original artwork is used on the disc itself. Additionally an inscription was added to the plaque on the tomb, which Riggs had initially left blank to allow the band to add their own words, and reads "After the Daylight, The Night of Pain, That is not Dead, Which Can Rise Again".
Also this 1998 remastered re-edition contains a special enhanced CD-ROM multimedia section with videos, exclusive photo galleries, biographies, internet links plus a deluxe 24 page colour booklet with full lyrics, Eddie art and photos!!

The fifth remastered re-release of the fourth full-length album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
The second of three straight iconic Iron Maiden albums, "Piece Of Mind" marks the debut of what many regard as the definitive Maiden lineup, with the arrival of Nicko McBrain, who had recently left the Paris-based band Trust and has been Iron Maiden's drummer ever since.
Album was originally released on EMI Records in Europe and on Capitol Records in the U.S.; it was reissued later on Sanctuary/Columbia Records.
McBrain's ability to duplicate the complex patterns of the guitar and bass riffs gives the band a seamless ensemble unity. Even Steve Harris, whose busy basslines were never exactly groove-oriented, has never felt more integrated into the overall sound. Perhaps part of that feeling comes from the less frantic pace; the average tempo has slowed somewhat from the preceding album, and the hold-over Punk influences still present there have been completely eradicated. Instead, we get a few moodier, heavier pieces (especially "Revelations") that make the album darker-sounding overall. We also get greater involvement in the songwriting from Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith, whose themes are perfectly in tune with Steve Harris' epic storytelling. Nearly every song here was inspired by movies or literature, whether it's history, mythology, sci-fi, or fantasy; this approach got them tagged as a thinking-man's Metal band, and certainly provided a lyrical blueprint for Anthrax. No less than four songs are about battles and warriors, and a couple is about flying, underscoring the heights of the drama that the band is aiming for. The centerpiece of the album is, of course, "The Trooper", an all-time genre classic that boasts Murray and Smith's most memorable harmonized lead riff, plus that trademark galloping rhythm. A retelling of the Greek myth "Flight of Icarus" was the other British hit single, boasting an appropriately soaring chorus. Album opener "Where Eagles Dare" is the other flight song, recounting a WWII spy thriller and featuring one of McBrain's signature performances with the band.
If much of "Piece Of Mind" ranks as state-of-the-art Heavy Metal, it is true that the second half dips a bit from the first. "Quest for Fire" is many a die-hard fan's least favorite track from the glory years; the melody is rather stiff and simple, and the lyrics are about cavemen, rendering Dickinson's operatic a bit ridiculous. Among the serious-minded Maiden faithful, there's no less forgivable sin than silliness. Fans also bemoan the relative simplicity of the samurai tale "Sun and Steel". However, the album closes on a big, Progressive note with "To Tame a Land", an epic retelling of Frank Herbert's Dune that evokes the desert planet via Middle Eastern guitar melodies. In the end, even if "Piece Of Mind" is the most obviously inconsistent of the classic Maiden trilogy, its many high points are no less awe-inspiring, and it's no less essential for anyone with even the most basic interest in Heavy Metal!
“Piece of Mind” was a critical and commercial success, reaching No. 3 in the UK Albums Chart and achieving Platinum certification in the UK and North America.

Limited Collectors “Mission Edition” of the fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
When Iron Maiden's classic lineup famously reunited in the year 2000, their first new album, the quite excellent "Brave New World", neatly reconnected both musicians and fans with the band's heritage, while simultaneously promising a prosperous future still to come. However, their next two efforts didn't fare quite as well, and whether Maiden was choosing to repeat the same moves without as much imagination or consistency on 2003's "Dance Of Death", or becoming bogged down in tiresome Prog Rock excess on 2006's desultory "A Matter Of Life And Death", it seemed that neither playing it safe nor taking risks was a surefire recipe for success anymore. And so the Heavy Metal icons took an extra year - for them, a record-breaking four - to work on their fourth post-reunion opus, 2010's "The Final Frontier", which, like many of their original mid-'80s classics, was recorded at legendary Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas, and aimed to reestablish an ideal balance of past and future, familiarity and freshness, complexity and immediacy.
This is an album of hard-hitting, adventurous Epic Metal in the way that only they can deliver it. The most amazing thing about this is probably Bruce Dickinson, who gives one of the best performances of his career on here. True, he doesn’t sound as young as he did on "Seventh Son" and "Piece Of Mind", but "The Final Frontier" is a swansong of sorts. The man is simply on fire here, singing his heart out on every single track. His vocal lines here seem to have been given a lot more attention than on the last few albums, as this is a heavily theatrical and stylized performance that really elevates the album to another platform altogether.
The rest of the band are no slouches, however, as they have combined their creative talents to form a gestalt of majestic Maiden-style epics. Unlike the modernized and often gloomy direction their last few albums took, "The Final Frontier" soars and gallops with a newfound flame and energy that is, in the end, a kind of amalgam of their 80s albums’ styles all at once. Finally we have an album with songs that play out like a storybook of sorts, taking the listener to all different places.
This is Iron Maiden on full power. They’ll never return to the magic of their 80s days – that was something unique, and something that doesn’t happen often. But with this album they prove that they are not stagnating, and although they have to work a little harder at it now, they still have it in them to produce really first rate music anyway. "The Final Frontier" still brings Iron Maiden closer to their aesthetic legacy and triumphant year 2000 rebirth than its two predecessors. "The Final Frontier" will keep you coming back again and again with its masterful hooks and enveloping atmosphere. And, at this stage in their career, Iron Maiden knows that nothing is more important than giving fans, what they want and expect. So go buy this album right now; you will not regret it!!
The album peaked at No. 1 in 28 countries. This included the United Kingdom, where it became the band's fourth release to top the UK Albums Chart following 1982's "The Number Of The Beast", 1988's "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" and 1992's "Fear Of The Dark". On top of this, "The Final Frontier" also charted at No. 4 in the United States, marking their highest placement on the Billboard 200, in addition to gaining the band their first Grammy Award in the Best Metal Performance category for the song "El Dorado", released as a free download on 8 June 2010.
Mission Edition comes in a unique CD case and includes: the Director's Cut of “The Final Frontier” video, Mission Debrief band interview footage, wallpapers, photos and the exclusive internet-game ‘Mission II: Rescue & Revenge’ (the sequel to the online game ‘Search & Savage’).

Fruit of The Loom. Valueweight. Made in Morocco. 
100% cotton.

First time on black vinyl remastered re-release of the fourteenth full-length studio album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
It was released on 25 August 2006 in Italy and Finland, and 28 August worldwide, excluding the United States, Canada and Japan on 5 September 2006. 
“A Matter Of Life And Death” puts emphasis on creating atmospheres befitting the darker lyrical themes and long sprawling epics with changes in tempo and dynamics, in contrast to the riff-driven music of the band's early days. This darker direction of the lyrical viewpoint can even be seen in the shorter songs "Different World" and "The Pilgrim".
In order to provide a more "live" sound, the album was not mastered. No added EQ, compression, analog widening, etc.
At 72 minutes, “A Matter Of Life And Death” is the band's second longest album, exceeding 1995's “The X Factor” by approximately one minute, and exceeded by 2010's “The Final Frontier” by approximately four minutes.
It is the first album in Iron Maiden's career to enter the U.S. Billboard charts in the top 10, achieving significant chart success in many other countries as well. 
Metal Hammer 10/10; Kerrang! 5/5.
First time on black vinyl, 2015 remastered, this double 180 g vinyl release includes hardcover inner sleeves with band photos.
