Iron Maiden

British heavy metal band

Iron Maiden is a seminal British heavy metal band formed in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. The band's discography includes a series of influential albums that have cemented their legacy in the annals of rock music. "Killers," released in 1981, was their second studio album and the last to feature vocalist Paul Di'Anno. It showcased the band's growing musical prowess and set the stage for their future success. With the release of "The Number of the Beast" in 1982, Iron Maiden saw their first chart-topping album in the UK, and it marked the debut of new vocalist Bruce Dickinson, whose powerful voice became one of the band's defining features. This album included hits such as the title track and "Run to the Hills," which remain staples in their live performances.
