The Number Of The Beast

Description

The Number of The Beast is the first of Iron Maiden’s four consecutive classic releases, and an absolutely essential piece in any metal fan’s collection. For those not familiar with the metal genre, this is an excellent place to start, especially if they are familiar with the heavier bands of 70s rock, such as Led Zeppelin, Rush, and the Who. This album marks long-time singer Bruce Dickinson’s debut with the band, and he makes his mark quickly as Maiden pulls away from the punk influence of former vocalist Paul Di’Anno.
