Iron Maiden issued its fifth release, POWERSLAVE, in 1984. It was a time in which the band had become a worldwide arena-headlining sensation. The album was also the first to not have been marked by a lineup change, helping Maiden produce another metal classic. While most other metal bands of the era were still singing about partying, Maiden continued to tackle some serious, thought-provoking subject matter. The band addresses the threat of nuclear war on "2 Minutes to Midnight," World War II-era fighter pilots in the album-opening "Aces High," and the demise of an Egyptian king in the title track. But the true highlight is the long and winding 13-and-a-half-minute epic "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," a track that does a great job of recreating the haunting imagery of the Samuel Taylor Coleridge tale. Once POWERSLAVE was released, Maiden undertook one of the longest rock tours in history, playing from August 1984 through July 1985.Read full review
I would consider Iron maiden the pioneers of metal because there sound is of their own.No one sounds,or plays like them.These guyz know how to write music just buy their music and the read the lyrics yourself.Makes you feel like your in History class.they are no doubt in a class by themselves.For all you young'ins out there who don't know there music you'll throw away all your death metal,and realize that this where it all began.With the exception of some other great bands'etc etc.buy all of them!
One of the best studio albums other then peace of mind a must have for any Iron Maiden fan Up the Irons 🤘

Iron Maiden's Powerslave shows the band at their finest hour. Kicking off with "Aces High" really gets you going and shows that Murray and Adrian's guitar riffs have never been better. The title track "Powerslave" and the 13 minutes long "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" really shows the band's skill at fantasy metal and also shows that they are skilled songwriters. If you never owned a Maiden Cd before, This is it.
