IRON MAIDEN

The seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
The first band's album in six years, following "The Book Of Souls" (2015), marking the longest gap between two Iron Maiden studio albums. This is also their second studio double album, and their first studio album since "Powerslave" (1984) to have no songwriting contributions from guitarist Dave Murray in any way, as well as the first since "Virtual XI" (1998) to feature multiple songs written by bassist Steve Harris alone.
The album got a critical and commercial success, praised for its ambitious, epic scope. Two Singles, "The Writing On The Wall" and "Stratego", were released to promote the album.
The album "Senjutsu" marks the second use of the band's original logotype (with the extended letters R, M and N) on a studio album cover, since "The X Factor" (1995), the previous one being for "The Book Of Souls" (2015). The album cover by Mark Wilkinson presents Eddie dressed up as a samurai and holding a katana.
"Senjutsu" was in the Top 3 bestsellers in the USA (the highest in the group's history so far), Australia, Ireland, Great Britain (first on the lists in Wales and Scotland), Singapore, Israel, UAE, Japan, The Netherlands, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Montenegro, Poland, Estonia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nepal, Honduras, Uruguay, Cyprus, Latvia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Luxembourg, Taiwan, Malta and Ukraine. In total, the album reached the top three bestsellers in 55 countries around the world and the Top 5 bestsellers in 63 countries. The album was ranked second on the world music charts. It's also given the band its highest chart position in the US, debuting at number three on Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and number one on Billboard's Physical Albums Chart. 
"Senjutsu" turned out to be a tremendous achievement, strengthening the group's brand on the global music market.

Remastered re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
"Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" is the great Iron Maiden album, reconnecting with the band's Prog Rock roots. By this point, Maiden had earned the respect of Metalheads the world over with their steadfast adherence to unadulterated Metal and their grandiose aesthetic. They'd made concessions neither to Pop-Metal nor to Thrash, and their passionate fan base would never have tolerated a radical reinvention. But what do you do when your epic ambition itself has become a formula? You go even bigger and make a concept album, of course! The concept is based on the European folklore, which held that the "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" would be born with special powers that could be used for good or evil. As such, the lyrics are Maiden at their most gothic, obsessed with supernatural mysticism of all stripes; the story line concerns the title character, born with a gift for prophecy but mistrusted by his village, which ignores his warnings of apocalyptic doom and makes him a tormented Cassandra figure.
Musically, this is Maiden at their Proggiest, with abrupt, stop-on-a-dime transitions between riffs, tempos, time signatures, and song sections. Yet nearly every song has a memorable chorus. They've also switched from the guitar synths of "Somewhere In Time" to full-fledged keyboards, which are used here more to add atmosphere rather than taking center stage; this restores the crunch that was sometimes lacking in the shinier production of the previous album.
No less than four of this album's eight songs reached the British Top Ten in some version (concert standard "Can I Play with Madness", "The Evil That Men Do", "The Clairvoyant" and "Infinite Dreams"), while the album became the band's first U.K. chart-topper since "The Number Of The Beast".
The 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.

First re-release of the sixth compilation album by the legendary British Heavy Metal/NWOBHM band.
A relentless, 70-minute crowd pleaser marathon, containing timeless anthems that still make the adrenalin surge and the sinews stiffen after all these years!
Compilation contains a collection of songs originally recorded for their first eight albums (including "Live After Death"). The album was released in conjunction with the band's Somewhere Back In Time World Tour to allow new fans to listen to a selection of the band's material that was played on the tour. A number of tracks were taken from the band's 1985 live album, "Live After Death", because the band preferred to use recordings which featured current Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson rather than Paul Di'Anno, who sang on their first two studio releases.
This compilation is reminder of why Iron Maiden became the most important band on the planet back in the 1980s and why, once again, they've reclaimed that crown! Metal collections don't come much more solid than this!!

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
With "Somewhere In Time" Iron Maiden produces yet another classic album full of classic tracks! Album was released on 29 September 1986 on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the US. It was their first album to feature guitar synthesizers. All songs with the exception of "Wasted Years" featured guitar synthesizers. "Somewhere In Time" is notable for lacking any songwriting credits from lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson, whose material was rejected by the rest of the band. On the other hand, the record is also notable for the number of "fully formed" songs written by guitarist Adrian Smith, who wrote both of the album's singles: "Wasted Years" and "Stranger in a Strange Land". The record also marked a change for Iron Maiden, as it was their first to use synth, although this style was expanded on with their next release, "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son", which used keyboard synthesizers instead. This was also their first studio album not to be released a year after their previous one, with the band insisting that they have more time "to get it right without hurrying for a change", comments Harris. It was also one of their most expensive records, with the bass and drums recorded in the Bahamas, the guitars and vocals recorded in The Netherlands and the mixing taking place in New York.
Since its release, it has been certified Platinum by the RIAA, having sold over one million copies in the US alone.
Iron Maiden has created an amazing album as usual, and it helped push their career further on for twenty more years!

The eleventh official live album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
When it comes to live Metal shows, it doesn't get much better than an Iron Maiden concert. They have released a ton of live albums, DVDs and even VHS tapes over the years. From 1981's "Live At The Rainbow" to 1985's "Live After Death" to 1993's "Live At Donington", every era of their storied career has been commemorated with a live release.
Recorded throughout their 2016 - 2017 The Book of Souls World Tour, “The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter” was released on 17 November 2017. Iron Maiden's tour in support of 2015's "The Book Of Souls" album spanned 39 countries and six continents. Instead of picking one show from that tour and featuring its complete setlist, nearly every song on the album is from a different show (two were recorded at Castle Donington, UK). It was produced by Tony Newton, with Steve Harris serving as co-producer. The album makes band's first live album since 2002's "Beast Over Hammersmith" not to be produced by Kevin Shirley.
Since the tour was in support of "The Book Of Souls", six tracks of "The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter" are from that album including the 13 minute-plus “The Red and the Black” and the nearly 11 minute “The Book of Souls.” The rest of the set includes hits from throughout their career. No matter where they were recorded, from San Salvador, El Salvador (“The Trooper”) to Wacken, Germany (“The Number of the Beast”) to Sydney, Australia (“If Eternity Should Fall”), the fans are equally enthusiastic. They don't just sing along to the lyrics, they sing along to guitar riffs and instrumental breaks with the same amount of gusto.
Frontman Bruce Dickinson battled cancer prior to this tour, with tumors on the back of his tongue and in his neck. He took some time off to recover, and his voice is back at full strength. His legendary pipes sound as good as ever, having no problem hitting the high notes when needed.
Maiden are such a well-oiled machine, with the triple guitar attack of Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers operating at maximum efficiency. The rhythm section of Steve Harris and Nicko McBrain keep everything anchored, with Harris also co-producing the album.
One thing that's extremely refreshing is that after all these years, Maiden are still having fun. To adapt a line from Bon Jovi, on The Book of Souls World Tour Maiden played in front of two million faces, and they rocked them all! You'll hear it in all its glory on "The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter"!!

It was produced by Tony Newton, with Steve Harris serving as co-producer. The album makes band's first live album since 2002's "Beast Over Hammersmith" not to be produced by Kevin Shirley.
Since the tour was in support of "The Book Of Souls", six tracks of "The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter" are from that album including the 13 minute-plus “The Red and the Black” and the nearly 11 minute “The Book of Souls.” The rest of the set includes hits from throughout their career. No matter where they were recorded, from San Salvador, El Salvador (“The Trooper”) to Wacken, Germany (“The Number of the Beast”) to Sydney, Australia (“If Eternity Should Fall”), the fans are equally enthusiastic. They don't just sing along to the lyrics, they sing along to guitar riffs and instrumental breaks with the same amount of gusto.
Frontman Bruce Dickinson battled cancer prior to this tour, with tumors on the back of his tongue and in his neck. He took some time off to recover, and his voice is back at full strength. His legendary pipes sound as good as ever, having no problem hitting the high notes when needed.
Maiden are such a well-oiled machine, with the triple guitar attack of Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers operating at maximum efficiency. The rhythm section of Steve Harris and Nicko McBrain keep everything anchored, with Harris also co-producing the album.
One thing that's extremely refreshing is that after all these years, Maiden are still having fun. To adapt a line from Bon Jovi, on The Book of Souls World Tour Maiden played in front of two million faces, and they rocked them all! You'll hear it in all its glory on "The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter"!!

The sixteenth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
To say that Iron Maiden's "The Book Of Souls" was ardently anticipated would be a vast understatement. Though it was (mostly) finished in 2014, vocalist Bruce Dickinson's cancer diagnosis and treatment delayed its release until he was medically cleared.
While 2006's "A Matter Of Life And Death" and 2010's "The Final Frontier" showcased longer songs, "Book Of Souls" is epic by comparison.
This is band's first studio double album, and therefore also their longest to date, with a total length of 92 minutes. It has contains the band's longest song, "Empire of the Clouds", plus three of 11 tracks are over ten minutes. The album marks the longest gap between studio releases in the band's entire career, at five years.
Steve Harris contributed one solo composition, and co-wrote six tracks with various bandmates. Dickinson - for the first time since “Powerslave” - wrote two solo tunes, the album's bookends, and collaborated on two more. The music is cleanly divided between the two discs. The first is tight; it offers a bit of everything that makes Iron Maiden. It is seemingly self-contained.
Dickinson's "If Eternity Should Fail" is an impressive showcase for his voice. Its dark intro and atmospherics are eventually transformed into one of the heaviest tunes Maiden's recorded in a dig's age, but he climbs above the sonic mass. "Speed of Light" is a burner. Dickinson's fury is accompanied by a Rock'N'Rolling riff, soaring Metal guitar fills, and Nicko McBrain's grooving drums. Harris' 13-minute "The Red and the Black" has a martial tempo and chant that recalls "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner". It's followed by "When the River Runs Deep", a chugging Hard Rocker with all three guitarists challenging one another. The title cut is theatrical, as acoustic guitar and a sparse synth are filled out with a knotty riff and solo breaks, emerging as a slower, heavier headbanger.
By contrast, disc two is structured almost narratively; it slowly enlarges and expands to serve an unexpected conclusion. Opener "Death or Glory" is another crowd-catcher as Dickinson soars above thudding drums and guitar choruses redolent of Thin Lizzy. "Shadows of the Valley" is the only clunker. It's dull and predictable, a minor distraction that doesn't measure up to the set's ambition. "Tears of a Clown", written by Harris and Dave Murray, is for Robin Williams. It's a clamorous rocker, yet the lyrics and melody are simultaneously empathic and disconsolate. "The Man of Sorrows" follows expertly, progressing from meandering ballad to theatrical Hard Rock. Dickinson's 18-minute "Empire of the Clouds" is about the R101 airship disaster of 1930. It's Maiden's longest song, but a grand conclusion. He plays majestic classical piano throughout, as tasteful, biting guitars create a complementary melodic labyrinth amid swelling orchestral strings. They add texture while McBrain's swinging drums add drama. It's a Heavy Metal suite, unlike anything in their catalog!
Producer Kevin Shirley does a stellar job capturing an "in studio" sound that allows for spacious dynamics and warmth without artificial mass. Who would have thought that after decades Iron Maiden would have an album as fine (let alone as long) as "The Book Of Souls" in them? With repeated listening it earns shelf space with their finest records!!
"The Book Of Souls" topped the album charts in 24 countries. It earned the band their fifth (first consecutive) UK No. 1, following 1982's "The Number Of The Beast", 1988's "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son", 1992's "Fear Of The Dark" and 2010's "The Final Frontier". In the US, it matched "The Final Frontier"'s success on the Billboard 200, repeating the band's highest placement at no. 4. “The Book Of Souls” received the Album of the Year award at the 2015 Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards, collected the 2016 Metal Hammer Golden Gold Award for Best Album, and won in the Best International Album category at the 2016 Bandit Rock Awards.

First re-release of the eighteenth single by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
It's the third single for the band's seventh full-length studio album, "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" (1988).
"The Clairvoyant" was the first track written for the album. According to Steve Harris, the song's lyrics were inspired by the death of psychic Doris Stokes, after which he wondered to himself whether "she could foresee her own death". The song starts in the first person, from the main character's point of view. Later, when he is dead it is in the third person. Harris then began to write the song "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son", which gave him the idea of turning the full album into a concept record given that the main character would also have the power of clairvoyance. The song's guitar solo is played by Dave Murray.
B-side contains live performance, “The Prisoner”, from Maiden's 1988 headlining at the Monsters of Rock festival in Donington Park, on August 20th.
The single debuted at number six in the British charts.
Recorded from the original analogue master tapes.

First re-release of the seventeenth single by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
It's the second single for the band's seventh full-length studio album, "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" (1988).
"Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" is one of Iron Maiden's most acclaimed albums and with good reason. "The Evil that Men Do" has always been a standard track in and it makes for a great single with it's catchy feel. The song with an amazing harmony which stands out over virtually any other Iron Maiden song, from that opening few seconds you can tell you got an awesome song ahead.
The title of the song is taken from Marcus Antonius's speech while addressing the crowd of Romans after Caesar's murder (Act 3, scene 2, "The Forum") in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones." Bruce Dickinson may sometimes repeat this before playing the song, but in reverse (as he did in Rock in Rio). However, the poetic lyrics of the song are unrelated to this.
The guitar solo in "The Evil That Men Do" is played by Adrian Smith while the guitar solo in "Prowler '88" is played by Dave Murray.
The single's B-side is re-recording of "Prowler" appears as tracks number one on the band's debut album Iron Maiden. "The Evil That Men Do" is definitely a Maiden classic and one of their best songs to date, however, the real reason to get this single is because of the B-Side - remake of classic from their debut album with Bruce Dickinson on vocals as opposed to Paul Di'Anno! Bruce Dickinson completely outclasses Paul Di'Anno classic, with a more aggressive voice. So, this is an awesome title song but the B-Sides are the real reason to buy this thing!!
The single debuted at number six in the UK charts and quickly rose to number five.
Recorded from the original analogue master tapes.

First remastered re-release of the third full-length album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
This was the debut of vocalist Bruce Dickinson in Iron Maiden and their last with drummer Clive Burr.
Routinely ranked among the greatest Heavy Metal albums of all time, "The Number Of The Beast" is the birth of Iron Maiden as we know it, a relentless Metal machine lifted to soaring new heights by the arrival of erstwhile Samson frontman Bruce Dickinson. Dickinson's operatic performance here made him an instant Metal icon, challenging even Rob Halford for bragging rights, and helped launch the band into the stratosphere.
The album's intensity never lets up, the musical technique is peerless for its time, and there isn't a truly unmemorable song in the bunch. Blessed with a singer who could drive home a melody in grandiose fashion, Steve Harris' writing gets more ambitious, largely abandoning the street violence of old in favor of fittingly epic themes drawn from history, science fiction, and horror. The exceptions are "22 Acacia Avenue", a sequel to "Charlotte the Harlot" that sounds written for Di'Anno's range, and the street-crime tale "Gangland", which Harris didn't write; though the Punk influences largely left with Di'Anno, these two definitely recall the Maiden of old. As for the new, two of the band's (and, for that matter, Heavy Metal's) all-time signature songs are here. The anthemic "Run to the Hills" dramatized the conquest of the Native Americans and became the band's first Top Ten U.K. single. It features Maiden's trademark galloping rhythm, which in this case serves to underscore the images of warriors on horseback. Meanwhile, the title track's odd-meter time signature keeps the listener just slightly off balance and unsettled, leading into the most blood-curdling Dickinson scream on record; the lyrics, based on nothing more than Harris' nightmare after watching a horror movie, naturally provoked hysterical accusations of Satan worship (which, in turn, naturally provoked sales). "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is perhaps the most celebrated of the band's extended epics; it's the tale of a prisoner about to be hanged, featuring some of Harris' most philosophical lyrics.
Though some moments on "The Number Of The Beast" are clearly stronger than others, the album as a whole represented a high-water mark for Heavy Metal, striking a balance between accessible melodicism and challenging technique and intensity. Everything fell into place for Iron Maiden here at exactly the right time, and the result certainly ranks among the top five most essential Heavy Metal albums ever recorded! A cornerstone of the genre!!
"The Number Of The Beast" become band’s first album to reach No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart, and be certified platinum in the US. It’s one of two Iron Maiden albums listed in “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die” book.
CD includes special multimedia part with videos, exclusive band biographies, photo galleries, internet links and much more…
