Iron Maiden. | Discography

Noted for its Egyptian themes and the epic "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

Intent on returning to a rawer, stripped-back sound, Maiden decamped to Steve Harris’s barn. Dickinson’s voice adopted a rougher rasp, and the songs lost the epic scope of the 80s. "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter"—an absurd, fun track—gave them their first (and only) UK number one single. But overall, No Prayer feels like a step down, despite the anthem "Holy Smoke."
