The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal/NWOBHM band.
Released on May 30, 2000, album marks the return of longtime lead singer Bruce Dickinson (who left in 1993) and guitarist Adrian Smith (who left in 1990), as well as the band's first studio recording with their current three guitar line-up (six-piece line-up in total), as Janick Gers (who replaced Smith in 1990) remained with the band.
The return of Iron Maiden's "classic" Dickinson/Harris/Murray/Smith/McBrain line-up (plus third guitarist Janick Gers) in 1999 led to an incredibly successful world tour that saw the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal legends commanding stages with the same unmitigated power and authority as they had during their mid-80s heyday. However, the question remained whether the reconstituted band would be able to carry this momentum into a studio setting and recapture the songwriting chops of its glory years. This question made "Brave New World" one of the most highly anticipated Metal releases of 2000 and, thankfully, the eventual answer to that question was a resounding "Yea!"
In fact, the album pretty much picked up right where the "classic" line-up had left off on 1988's "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son": with a faithful rediscovery of Iron Maiden's best-loved sonic aesthetic and compositional quirks, updated only insofar as was necessary to measure up to new-millennium recording standards. In every other respect (and much like "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son"), "Brave New World"'s meticulously orchestrated three-guitar attack still allowed for a greater sense of space than early Maiden albums (as well as the use of subtle keyboard textures in a supporting role), while boasting a beefier, in-your-face mix à la "Piece Of Mind" or "Powerslave".
The songs "The Wicker Man" and "Out of the Silent Planet" were both released as singles. "The Wicker Man"'s promotional radio release featured extra vocals in the chorus, not present in any other versions of the song.
The album artwork and title song are references to the novel of the same name, written by Aldous Huxley.
“Brave New World” peaked at the seventh spot of the UK Albums Chart, and has since been certified Gold. In the United States, it debuted at No. 39th of the Billboard 200 chart, and registered over 307 000 copies sales on the Nielsen SoundScan system in 2008.

First time on black vinyl, remastered re-release of the thirteenth full-length album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
"Dance Of Death" is probably the most controversial album of Iron Maiden so far, as well as the most Progressive and most heavy album of Iron Maiden ever.
When picking this album up, we could not help but notice the artwork. And art is not so good. Iron Maiden hired David Patchett to create the art with CGI. Apparently, his time cost the band enough money; the band stopped him because they thought the work was good enough as is, which the artist claimed was still in its prototype stages. The artwork would be notorious for its epic fail among the Metal community and placed on some worst artwork lists of Metal fans. Good thing this album is not judged solely on its cover, because “Dance of Death” is one of the better Iron Maiden albums!
"Dance Of Death" recalls prime Iron Maiden but with renewed vigor. Iron Maiden recorded the album the old-fashioned way: on analog tape, which adds a layer of warmth to the LP. "Dance Of Death" never sounds sterile or processed, unlike so many other Hard Rock and Metal bands recording in the digital age. But the record clocks in at nearly 70 minutes, making it somewhat long and demanding. Still, that’s a relatively small complaint for such a strong album. They still sound like they did in the 80's! Pure brilliance. One thing extremely unique on the album is that it has a great deal of orchestration and an almost Arabic-style vibe too, especially in "No More Lies" and "Dance Of Death". The rhythm guitar really tuned down heavy on the song "Montsegur". There were other powerful songs such as "Wildest Dreams", "Rainmaker", and the graceful epic "Paschendale". "Journeyman" is a 7-minute song with an acoustic, and it is real cool.
This album is not by any means a concept album, but the central theme of Death is recurrent in one form or another. This is their second studio release since the return of vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith in 1999. The album features the band's first ever fully acoustic track, "Journeyman", as well as their only song co-written by drummer Nicko McBrain, "New Frontier". The album was recorded on magnetic (analogue) tape.
Aside from the artwork, the 13th album by Iron Maiden is still a solid listen. After listening to “Brave New World” though, this album had to top the most successful album since 1988. Although it does not succeed in usurping that magnum opus, Iron Maiden proved that they still had a lot of energy left to write good music.
All in all, "Dance Of Death" is a pretty excellent Iron Maiden album. Many older fans will complain that there is nothing really new and ground-breaking here, but the band cannot release a "Piece Of Mind" or a "Powerslave" every time they put an album out on the market. "With Dance Of Death", they have done a brilliant Metal album that will still please some of the older generations, while introducing the newer fans to the world of Iron Maiden's great music in an even better way than "Brave New World" had already done.

The first re-release of the ninth full-length studio album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
It’s the third band's studio release to top the UK albums chart and last to feature Bruce Dickinson as lead vocalist until his return in 1999.
While 1992's "Fear Of The Dark" was definitely more of a return to form for Iron Maiden, it still wasn't quite on par with their exceptional work from the '80s. Easily an improvement over 1990's lackluster "No Prayer For The Dying", the album debuted on the U.K. charts at number one.
The opening "Be Quick or Be Dead" proved Maiden could easily hold their own with younger Thrash Metal bands, "From Here to Eternity" contained lyrics that seem better fitted for Mötley Crüe, while the expected epic album-closing title track would become a concert staple (all three tracks were released as U.K. singles). The serene "Wasting Love" proves to be one of Maiden's better ballads of the '90s, while the rockers "Fear Is the Key" and "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" are also standouts.
It was the first album to be produced by bassist and band founder Steve Harris, and last to feature the work of producer Martin Birch (who retired after its release).
The cover of album was the band's first not to be designed by artist Derek Riggs, whose contributions were rejected in favour of Melvyn Grant's. According to Iron Maiden's manager, Rod Smallwood, the band began accepting contributions from other artists as "We wanted to upgrade Eddie for the 90s. We wanted to take him from the sort of comic-book horror creature and turn him into something a bit more straightforward so that he became even more threatening". Melvyn Grant has since drawn several more covers for Iron Maiden, making him the band's second most-frequent artist after Riggs.
"Fear Of The Dark" ended up being the last album in eight years to feature Bruce Dickinson. This is a good thing, as Bruce admitted that he was not totally into singing for Maiden, and wanted to focus more on his solo career. This album is certainly different. They display what we all love about Iron Maiden. Maybe it's not the best horse in the Iron Maiden stable, but still a Rock-hard classic for most HM-fans! From other side this is a very good record, if not a great record like the Iron Maiden offerings before it!!

First re-release of the eighth single by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
It's the first single from the band's fourth full-length studio album, "Piece of Mind" (1983) and the band's first release to feature Nicko McBrain, who replaced Clive Burr on drums in 1982.
"Flight of Icarus" is one of the better written songs by Iron Maiden. It was composed by Dickinson & Smith who had finally discovered how much fun it was for them to compose together. Unlike most of the other songs from the "Piece Of Mind", this one consists of simple riffs, vocal lines and had an easy accessible Pop song structure. A bad thing? Of course not! With musicians like these in their prime pretty much any song sounded great. And even in the hands of others ‘"Flight of Icarus" would still be a great song because of the catchy main riff and the strong chorus.
"Flight of Icarus" loosely based on the ancient Greek myth of Icarus who was imprisoned with his father Daedalus in the palace of Knossos on Crete. In an attempt to escape, the pair fabricated wings from feathers and wax so they could fly away. Unfortunately Icarus, not heeding the advice of his father, flew too close to the Sun, melting the wax that held the feathers and thus fell to his death in the sea. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson modified the original tale to make it an allegory of teenage rebellion against adult authority, which caused the death of Icarus in this case. There is a well performed solo towards the end, as well as some inviting lead melodies to listen to before the track is out. Dickinson's vocal performance sounds a bit like the late Ronnie James Dio in this one.
“Flight of Icarus” is one of the more memorable tracks off of Maiden’s classic "Piece Of Mind" album, a release relatively full of memorable tracks. Sort of a loose adaptation of the Icarus story, it’s nonetheless a strong romp through Maiden’s legendary songwriting and shows the band at a very solid point in their career. Awesome!
The B-side of the Single is a new studio rendition of the Montrose song "I Got the Fire" from the "Paper Money" album 1974. Iron Maiden originally released a live cover of this song during the Paul Di'Anno era, on 1980 single, "Sanctuary", however the "Flight Of Icarus" version features Bruce Dickinson on vocals and is a studio production rather than a live performance. The song ends up sounding like generic 70's Rock juiced up with some typical NWOBHM speed.
The single cover, in something of a parody of the original myth, portrays a winged Eddie killing Icarus with a flamethrower. Icarus resembles the figure in Evening: Fall of Day, by William Rimmer, which was used as a label logo by Led Zeppelin. According to the artist, Derek Riggs, this is a reference to Led Zeppelin's break-up a few years before.
It was the band's first single to be released in the United States, becoming one of their few songs to gain substantial airplay, peaking at No. 8 on the Billboard Top Album Tracks chart - the highest position of any Iron Maiden single in the US. It was also a success in the UK, peaking at No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart.
Recorded from the original analogue master tapes.

The seventh compilation album by the legendary British Heavy Metal/NWOBHM band.
Album containing a selection of songs originally released of band's last 20 years to 2010. The title is lifted from the 1992 single, "From Here to Eternity", although it is not featured in this release. Unlike their previous compilation, "Somewhere Back in Time", the release covered two CDs to encompass longer tracks, such as "Paschendale". As with "Somewhere Back In Time", each track is sung by Bruce Dickinson rather than Blaze Bayley (who sang on "The X Factor" and "Virtual XI"), the band again opting to use later live versions of songs which originally featured other lead vocalists. "From Fear To Eternity: The Best of 1990-2010" collects 23 tracks.
The first anthology to cover the band’s post-halcyon days, it’s remarkable how seamless the transition was. Unlike other acts that left their handprints in the cement in the late '70s and '80s, Iron Maiden never really lost steam, despite a mid-'90s shake-up that saw iconic lead singer Bruce Dickinson swapped out with Wolfsbane vocalist Blaze Bayley for two albums. The addition of keyboards, a controversial, late-'80s move that split some fans upon the releases of "Somewhere In Time" (1986) and "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" (1988), proved largely tasteful and subtle, and did little to hinder their signature blend of fantasy-fueled Symphonic Metal and straight-up English Hard Rock.
Culled from eight studio albums (including the pair of Bayley offerings), the songs on "From Fear To Eternity" may not reach the dizzying heights of the band’s "Piece Of Mind" / "Number Of The Beast" heyday, but stand-out cuts like “The Wicker Man”, “Different World”, “Tailgunner”, “Dance of Death” and “Brave New World” bristle with the energy and conviction of a band 20 years younger. Dickinson's voice is apparently indestructible, and the triple-guitar attack, held down to the mat by the incomparable Steve Harris (founder/bassist), remains a veritable master class in Heavy Metal picking.
It's an impressive feat, to say the least, but what stands out the most is the fact the band has amassed the kind of loyal, age-defying fan base that virtually guarantees a lifetime of sold-out world tours, a feat they managed to pull off without ever selling themselves out!!

First re-release of the nineteenth single by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
It is the only single to be released in sync with a home video (VHS), 1989's "Maiden England".
The performance was recorded in Birmingham, England in 1988, towards the end of the massive world tour to support the album "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" where the song originally appeared.
The song is about how the character of the song sees disturbing visions about afterlife and other mystic things in his dreams, but is scared about if he will ever be able to wake up again. It starts with a soft guitar solo, which is then joined by Bruce Dickinson's singing as well as the rest of the band. The song starts out quite peaceful, but gets Progressively heavier towards the song's climax and the following final verse.
B-side “Killers” is the live version of the title track from the second full-length album.
It is the final single to feature Adrian Smith for an entire decade.
Recorded from the original analogue master tapes.

First remastered re-release of the debut full-length album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
Album was released by EMI in the UK on Harvest/Capitol Records, and a few months later in the US on Sanctuary Records/Columbia Records. The US release also included the song "Sanctuary", only released in the UK as a single. In 1998, along with the rest of the band's pre-"X Factor" releases, Iron Maiden was remastered with "Sanctuary" added in all territories.
There may be no better place to hear how both Punk and Prog Rock informed the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal than Iron Maiden's self-titled debut. Often overlooked and overshadowed by the glorious Bruce Dickinson years, it's easy to forget that Iron Maiden was itself a game-changer when it appeared on the scene in 1980. That year also saw important albums from Motörhead, Saxon and Angel Witch, but Iron Maiden vaulted its creators to the head of the NWOBHM pack, reaching the U.K. Top Five and establishing them as an outfit with the talent to build on Judas Priest's late-'70s innovations. On the one hand, Iron Maiden was clearly drawing from elements of Punk Rock - the raw D.I.Y. production, the revved-up velocities and the vocals of rough-and-ready growler Paul Di'Anno, who looked and sounded not like a Metal god, but rather a short-haired street tough. On the other hand, Maiden had all the creative ambition of a Prog Rock band.
Compositionally, even their shortest and most straightforward songs featured abrupt changes in tempo and feel. Their musicianship was already light years beyond Punk, with complicated instrumental passages between guitarists Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton and bassist Steve Harris. When Murray and Stratton harmonize their leads, they outdo even Priest's legendary tandem in terms of pure speed. The lyrics have similarly high-flying aspirations, spinning first-person stories and character sketches with a flair for the seedy and the grotesque. Add it all up, and Iron Maiden performs the neat trick of reconciling two genres seemingly antithetical to one another, using post-Judas Priest Heavy Metal as the meeting ground.
Although Iron Maiden have since criticized the quality of the album's production, the release was met with critical and commercial acclaim, debuting at No. 4 in the UK Albums Chart as well as achieving prominence for the band in mainland Europe. "Iron Maiden" is one of two Iron Maiden albums listed in "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" ("The Number Of The Beast" is the other).

First remastered re-release of the first official live album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
Iron Maiden's World Slavery Tour was one of the longest and most extensive tours ever undertaken by a Rock band.
Lasting from August 9, 1984, to July 5, 1985, and visiting such countries as Poland, Austria, Hungry, Yugoslavia, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Scotland, England, Germany, Sweden, Canada, Japan and the U.S., the show included a mammoth setup that replicated the intricate ancient Egyptian scenery of the "Powerslave" album cover.
As a "thank you" to the hundreds of thousands of fans who packed arenas the world over, the double-disc live set "Live After Death" was issued in 1985. Disc one is comprised of selections from a four-night stand at L.A.'s Long Beach Arena, with disc two comprised of performances from London's Hammersmith Odeon.
The album is essentially a best-of of sorts, since most of their singles released up to this point are featured in all of their high-decibel glory, making it a near-complete overview.
"Live After Death" is easily one of Heavy Metal's best live albums!!
