IRON MAIDEN are an English heavy metal band formed in Leyton, East London, in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. While fluid in the early years of the band, the lineup for most of the band's history has consisted of Harris, lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson, drummer Nicko McBrain, and guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers. The band have released 41 albums, including 17 studio albums, 13 live albums, four EPs and seven compilations. They have also released 47 singles and 20 video albums. As pioneers of the new wave of British heavy metal movement, Iron Maiden achieved initial success during the early 1980s. After several lineup changes, the band went on to release a series of UK and US Platinum and Gold albums, including 1980's 'Iron Maiden' first eponymous debut album, 1981's 'Killers', 1982's 'The Number of the Beast', 1983's 'Piece of Mind', 1984's 'Powerslave', 1985's live release Live After Death, 1986's 'Somewhere in Time', 1988's 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son', 1990's 'No Prayer for the Dying' and 1992's 'Fear of the Dark'. In 1982, the band released 'The Number of the Beast' – its first album with Bruce Dickinson, who replaced Paul Di'Anno as lead singer – which was a turning point in their career, helping establish them as one of heavy metal's most important artists. The 'Number of the Beast' is among the most popular heavy metal albums of all time, having sold almost 20 million copies worldwide. Iron Maiden's first released was an EP 'The Soundhouse Tapes' on 9 November 1979.
