Iron Maiden are Steve Harris' brainchild, from 1976 and on they are the absolute heavy metal machine that destroys everything on its path.

They made heavy metal massive, and they are familiar even to those that don’t know their music.

With this record Iron Maide broke into the world receiving recognition and appreciation. They managed to attract huge crowds, with people flooding stadiums (the top of the iceberg was Monsters Of Rock in Donnington with over 100,000 people attendance in 1988), their record sales reached unbelievable numbers (they’ve sold more than 70 million records worldwide), big tours, great material and we haven’t talked about influence…let’s not. They have a distinguish position in our music’s pantheon.

“Number Of The Beast” overflows with power, passion, outstanding arrangements that feed the listener’s attention, galloping metallic riffs, and melodies that break to guitar parades.

The record arrived exactly when they needed it. After the two records with Paul Di’Anno and his punk pitch, Bruce Dickinson (ex-Samson) with his metalic voice, took over like a bull in a china shop. His majestic voice of great potential was what the band was in need of to rejuvenate and conquer the world.

This album with its eight archetype songs, enjoyed a huge commercial success (one of the most successful heavy metal records) and a great acceptance from the metal world.

This record is the cornerstone in Iron Maiden career and one of the 80’s heavy metal monuments.

The band’s trademark was the guitar march of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, as well as their definitive mascot, Eddie, a Derek Riggs creation, that was everywhere, on albums, 7”, T-shirts, patches, everything. It was totally recognizable from anyone.
Iron Maiden have made it to No.1 of the UK album charts three times, with “The Number Of The Beast”, “Seventh Son Of A Seven Son”, and “Fear Of The Dark”.

The album was produced by the great Martin Birch (Black Sabbath, Deep Purple. Whitesnake, Rainbow and B.Ö.C.)
