IRON MAIDEN Fear Of The Dark (2017 UK/EU 11-track double album 2-LP remastered in 2015 and pressed on 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl. Originally released in 1992 Fear Of The Dark marked a clear resurgence for Iron Maiden restoring urgency and scale after the more subdued No Prayer for the Dying. Debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart the record reaffirmed the bands dominance at a time when heavy metal was rapidly evolving around them. The album balances speed and weight with broader dynamics. Be Quick Or Be Dead opens at full throttle proving Maiden could still match the intensity of younger thrash contemporaries while Afraid To Shoot Strangers and Fear Is the Key bring a darker more reflective edge. Wasting Love stands out as one of the bands strongest 90s ballads and the closing title track has gone on to become a permanent fixture of Maidens live set. Fear Of The Dark would also be Bruce Dickinsons final studio album with the band before his late-90s return giving the record additional significance within the catalogue Housed in a gatefold picture sleeve factory sealed) Track Listing: Side One 1.
