IRON MAIDEN

IRON MAIDEN have been around in one form or another really since about 1975 or so, and was one of the most definitive forces in the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) to come out into the world during the late 1970's and early 1980's. With 10 true studio albums, 4 live full-length albums, 2 E.P.'s, 9 videos, countless singles, special releases, re-releases and other goodies, one need not wonder why.

With about 20 years of history behind the band (which includes about 24 different 'official' lineup changes), you wonder how they did it? Powerful music, with powerful lyrics. Always a heavy beat, and best played loud, loud, LOUD! Though the band's popularity has probably already hit its maximum peak several years back (let's at least admit that), there are many thousands of us die-hard fans out there who have professed and pledged devotion!
