  • Summary

  • Following the introduction of Bruce Dickinson and his success on ‘Number Of The Beast’ and ‘Piece Of Mind’, Iron Maiden were the ones to watch in the early 80s. Progressing and developing Heavy Metal from its British roots in the 70s into the newly established New Wave Of British Heavy Metal that the likes of Maiden, Saxon and Angel Witch were pioneering.

    In 1984, they presented us with an album boasting the same musical prowess as their previous albums, but with a maturity in the thematic concept and a developed complexity in their songwriting, arrangements and musicianship. ‘Powerslave’ remains a cornerstone of Iron’s Maiden discography and Heavy Metal in general - blending intricate musicianship, fast-tempo songs and captivating storytelling with themes of ancient Egypt, mythology and historical narratives!
