Required reading for all Maiden fans, this updated compendium of in-depth, entertaining, and profusely illustrated conversations spanning all of Iron Maiden’s studio albums includes 2021’s Senjutsu.

In this new edition of Iron Maiden: Album by Album, rock author/journalist Martin Popoff dives deep into Iron Maiden’s discography through a series of in-depth, frank, and fascinating conversations about all of the legendary heavy metal band’s studio albums. Inside, Popoff gathers together metal journalists, authors, and musicians, who offer insights, opinions, and anecdotes about every release. Guests include Blaze Bayley, Marty Friedman, “Metal” Tim Henderson, Chris Jericho, Mike Portnoy, and many more.

Richly illustrated with performance and offstage photography, as well as rare memorabilia, the conversations comprise a unique historical overview of the band, covering:

• Early albums with original lead singer Paul Di’Anno
• The songwriting of founder and bassist Steve Harris
• The impeccable talents of vocalist Bruce Dickinson, drummer Nicko McBrain, and guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers
• Massive world tours undertaken in support of the LPs
• The band’s changing dynamics, songwriting and dramas
• And much more—even their iconic mascot Eddie is sure to make an appearance or two!

Popoff also includes loads of sidebars that provide complete track listings, details on album personnel, and information on where and when the albums were recorded.

Iron Maiden remain as popular – and as hard rocking – as ever, continuing their sold-out The Future Past 2024 World Tour. With U.S. tour dates this fall, IRON MAIDEN ALBUM BY ALBUM is perfectly timed and the perfect companion to get deeper into the band’s music. Up the Irons!
