Dance Of Death

For 20 years, Iron Maiden have been at the forefront of heavy metal worldwide and are viewed by many as one of Britain's greatest musical exports. During this time they have achieved incredible global chart success, some 200 gold and platinum records, sell-out tours and huge respect from their peers both old and new. Now, following the success of last year's 'Edward The Great' greatest hits set, The Beast, as they say, is well and truly back. Recorded with producer Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith,The Black Crowes, Silverchair), who co-produced their last album, 'Brave New World', aided and abetted by Steve Harris, 'Dance Of Death' - the band's thirteenth studio album - looks set to reaffirm Maiden's position as one of the greatest metal/heavy rock bands of all-time.

"I think 'Brave New World' was only a stepping stone to what we have managed to achieve on this record for everyone. Recording this album was almost like being back when 'Number Of The Beast' was recorded in that the speed and the energy that went into the writing and recording was phenomenal. Everything has come together on this album and I think everyone that hears this record will be moved in different ways, from the epic sound of songs like 'Paschendale' through to the more heavy tracks like 'Rainmaker' and 'Montsegur.' This album will open a lot of eyes and ears to the world of Iron Maiden" - Bruce Dickinson
