iron maiden - powerslave (1lp/reissue)

Powerslave is Iron Maiden at full gallop—epic, aggressive, and steeped in mythic grandeur. Anchored by galloping riffs and Bruce Dickinson’s soaring vocals, the album features legendary tracks like “Aces High” and “2 Minutes to Midnight.” Its centerpiece, the 13-minute “Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” pushes the boundaries of heavy metal storytelling.

With its ancient Egyptian theme and elaborate guitar work, Powerslave is both a fan favorite and a high point of Maiden’s classic era. It’s fast, theatrical, and endlessly replayable.
