Iron Maiden is the most known artist which belongs to "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" with bands like: Saxon, Diamond Head and Savage. It was formed by Steve Harris in 1975. The first 2 studio albums were released in 1980 and 1981 and were titled: "Iron maiden" and "killers". At the end of 1981 the new vocalist, Bruce Dickinson, has joined the band. Today it seams to be one of the most important moment in the history of British heavy metal. With Dickinson Iron Maiden has become one of the most famous and appreciated metal artist, recorded albums: The Number of the Beast (1982) Piece of Mind (1983) Powerslave (1984) Somewhere in Time (1986) Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988) No Prayer for the Dying (1990) A Matter of Life and Death (2006) In the middle 90's Dickinson left the band for a few years and was replaced by Blaze Bayley. In my opinion albums The X Factor (1995) and Virtual XI (1998) can't be even compare to great records with Dickinson. Fortunately to all old fans Dickinson returned and recorded with Irons 3 more albums: Fear of the Dark (1992) Brave New World (2000) Dance of Death (2003) The band is still vary active and plays lots of concerts in the best squad: Steve Harris ( bass guitar ) Dave Murray ( guitar ) Nicko McBrain ( drums ) Bruce Dickinson ( vocals ) Adrian Smith ( guitar Janick Gers ( guitar )
