Though other pioneering peers like Metallica have been around on the scene just as long and provided their own innovations for metal and advanced the genre to a mainstream level, it was Iron Maiden who have been the fans' favourites. Their crossover to chart success showed many bands how it could be done. They were a key part of heavy metal's acceptance as a credible genre. With an impressive catalogue of 15 studio albums spread over 20 years including The Number of the Beast (1982), Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988) and The Final Frontier (2010), their influence speaks for itself. For the first time ever, the writing and recording of such iconic hits as 'The Number of the Beast', 'Fight of Icarus', 'Two Minutes to Midnight', 'Wasted Years', 'Can I play with Madness' and 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' are explored in-depth. This book takes you into the studio with a band who show no sign of slowing down and whose influence can still be heard in a thousand metal bands today.
