About this album
Powerslave is Iron Maiden at full power, sharpening the twin-guitar attack and heroic scale that made them one of heavy metal’s defining bands. Released in 1984, the album followed the breakthrough run of the band’s early-'80s classics and helped cement their reputation for speed, melody and narrative ambition. With Bruce Dickinson in commanding form and Martin Birch producing, the record moves from the charging precision of Aces High and 2 Minutes to Midnight to the side-long epic Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a song that became one of the group’s most celebrated long-form pieces. It remains a landmark of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
