Iron Maiden Flag of the United Kingdom
Origin: London, England  
This page updated 12.02.06  

Iron Maiden is one of, if not the, most well-known and influential metal bands of all time. Volumes have been written about the band and their sometimes turbulent history on scores of websites, so this entry is meant to be just a brief synopsis of a brillaint and genre-defining career. Their early albums, prior to Live After Death are in many opinions their best work. Their career, and listenability, took a nosedive in the mid-1990s when vocalist Bruce Dickinson departed, but a return in 1999 (along with long-time guitarist Adrian Smith) has brought Iron Maiden back to producing solid and influential metal.
