Iron Maiden Album: “Killers [Limited]”

Description :

This Limited version features vinyl replica packaging. This is an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. The Enhanced portion includes music videos for "Wrathchild" and "Killers." Iron Maiden: Paul DiAnno (vocals); Dave Murray, Adrian Smith (guitar); Steve Harris (bass); Clive Burr (drums). Engineers: Martin "Headmaster" Birch, Nigel Hewitt. Recorded at Battery Studios, London, England. Digitally remastered by Simon Heyworth (Chop 'Em Out). This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. KILLERS is based on more straight-ahead heavy metal, departing from Iron Maiden's 1980 self-titled debut, which had more of a punk edge (a facet often cited as an important stepping stone for "thrash metal" years later). Nonetheless the first album was a huge surprise hit in the band's native England, debuting within the Top Five upon release. The group's second release one year later, KILLERS sets its sights on making inroads in America, touring stateside for the very first time. The album was also the first for guitarist Adrian Smith, who replaced Dennis Stratton. The best-known track remains the renegade rocker "Wrathchild," but other lesser known compositions prove just as strong, such as the gruesome "Murders in the Rue Morgue;" the singles "Purgatory" and "Twilight Zone;" plus the fan favorites "Innocent Exile," "Genghis Khan," "Prodigal Son," and the title track. KILLERS cemented Maiden's standing as one of heavy metal's most promising up-and-coming bands.

My brother is a HUGE Iron Maiden fan! I remember hearing this amazing music coming from his room. I remember in particular borrowing this LP. I loved it so much, that I kept it. I managed to learn the entire cd on bass in a short time. The songs are great stories. The rhythms are totally amazing. If anyone is interested in Iron Maiden, they should buy this one.

this second album of Iron Maiden, produced for the first time by Martin Birch, shows the power and flavor of the truly heavy rocking music can give us. The last recording of Paul Di'anno for Maiden has an excelent performance in all the tracks full of energy and power and it was the first appearance of Adrian Smith to comform a classical lineup in this band. This is a basic album to have on any rock discography, it has a remastering work, and the artwork is a perfect reproduction from de original lp edition ,it has a booklet with photos and complete track lyrics. The extra data you want to know about this great production from 1981 you will find it in an interactive track easily to use in your pc.
