Iron Maiden, founded 1975 in East London by bassist Steve Harris, are the defining band of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and one of the most influential heavy-metal acts in history. The Bruce Dickinson era (1981 onward, with brief 1993-1999 hiatus) established the canonical Maiden sound: Harris's instantly identifiable galloping 16th-note bass pattern, the twin-lead guitar harmonies of Murray and Smith (and later Gers), Dickinson's soaring operatic tenor and air-raid-siren high reaches, and epic narrative-driven compositions ranging from 4-minute anthems to 13-minute progressive metal opuses. Their signature works — "The Trooper", "Run to the Hills", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", "Fear of the Dark", "Aces High", "Powerslave" — combine historical and fantasy storytelling with theatrical character-acting vocals, intricate twin-lead guitar passages, and Harris's relentlessly melodic bass gallop. For producers chasing classic NWOBHM authority, operatic-tenor theatrical heavy metal, galloping-bass-driven epic compositions, or twin-lead harmonized guitar attack, Iron Maiden remain the absolute reference point.
