"The Ultimate Unauthorized History Of The Beast", a new book by
Neil Daniels, will be released in June via
Jawbone Books in the U.K. and
Voyageur Press in the U.S.
Formed in east London in 1975,
IRON MAIDEN
went on to become one of the most successful rock acts in history. With
more than 85 million album sales to their credit, the legendary metal
band remains hugely popular worldwide: Their 2010 album,
"The Final Frontier", debuted at No. 1 in 30 countries and received unanimous critical praise.
In this, the first complete illustrated treatment of
IRON MAIDEN, a roster of respected heavy metal journalists — including
Ian Christe,
Martin Popoff,
Mick Wall,
Daniel Bukszpan, and more — relate the band's history, analyze their recordings, and provide a complete discography.
The
stories behind the band's formation, recordings, and tours, are
complemented with more than 400 images, including live performance and
candid off-stage photographs, as well as memorabilia, gig posters,
T-shirts, backstage passes, buttons, and tickets. And with
Derek Riggs (the man behind
IRON MAIDEN's iconic mascot,
Eddie) having created the book's exclusive cover art, this really is a must for any serious
IRON MAIDEN collector.
Few bands have as widespread global appeal as
IRON MAIDEN. Here is the book that gives that history its just treatment.
