Information om Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden är ett brittiskt heavy metal-band som bildades den 25 december 1975 av basisten Steve Harris. Namnet Iron Maiden är engelska och betyder 'järnjungfru', vilket var ett medeltida tortyrredskap och öknamn på Margaret Thatcher.

Bandet är ett av de mest inflytelserika och framgångsrika någonsin inom musikgenren metal och har sålt över 100 miljoner album utan mainstream- eller radiosupport. Gruppen har givit ut fjorton studioalbum, sju livealbum, fyra samlingsalbum, fyra samlingsboxar samt flertalet DVD med filmade live-inspelningar. Iron Maiden planerar nu även för ett 15:e studioalbum med turné.

Några av deras mest kända låtar är 2 Minutes to Midnight, Run To The Hills, The Trooper, The Evil That Men Do, Wasted Years, Flight Of Icarus, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Fear Of The Dark, Aces High och The Number Of The Beast, Can I Play With Madness, The Clairvoyant, Brave New World, The Wicker Man, Different World.

En del av Iron Maidens låtar handlar om historiska händelser som utspelat sig i deras hemland England. Andra är baserade på filmer, böcker och folksägner, exempelvis Children Of The Damned, Lord of the Flies, Aces High, The Wicker Man, Man on the Edge, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Where Eagles Dare och To Tame a Land.

Gruppen har varit huvudattraktion på flera olika stora festivaler runt om i världen, bland andra Ozzfest, Rock in Rio och på festivalerna Download Festival och Monsters of Rock i Donington Park.

Iron Maiden
Live after death (Blue/Yellow) 2 Vinyl LP

OCTOBER 14th 2025, exactly 40 years to the day since it was first released, Parlophone Records are pleased to announce a brand new, beautifully packaged, limited collectors 2LP colour vinyl edition of IRON MAIDEN's classic album LIVE AFTER DEATH. Featuring the original revered gatefold sleeve artwork, the album comes with two 140g colour vinyls (one in blue, the other in yellow) featuring the 2015 audio remastering. The package also includes a replica 24 page World Slavery Tour programme, bringing back to life the original tour programme for new generations. Additionally the vinyl features a replica tour pass and a glossy 12 page booklet, which contains the original eight page booklet alongside an exclusive and brand new essay entitled Rime And Punishment: Celebrating 40 Years Of Live After Death, where Iron Maiden fan club editor Alexander Milas interviews Steve Harris, Nicko McBrain, Rod Smallwood and acclaimed illustrator Derek Riggs about the legendary album. Widely acclaimed as not just the greatest heavy metal live album of all time, but one of the most iconic live releases in any musical genre, LIVE AFTER DEATH was recorded mostly during the four nights that Maiden played at Los Angeles' Long Beach Arena in March 1985. The final side of the double album was recorded during the four nights the band played at Hammersmith Odeon in October 1984. Both sets of concerts were part of the ground-breaking World Slavery Tour, in support of the band's 1984 album Powerslave, which started in Poland and featured 187 concerts across 331 days. The tour firmly established Iron Maiden as one of the most exciting live bands on the planet, a reputation that they carry to this day.
