Hallowed By Their Name : The Unofficial Iron Maiden Bible
Iron Maiden - Book - by Martin Popoff
(2025)
Yes, 666 pages....
Embark on a thrilling journey through the superlative recorded canon of
one of the world’s most legendary heavy metal bands. Music
journalist Martin Popoff provides an intimate and scholarly look into
the life and times of Iron Maiden. From their humble beginnings in the
dingy clubs of East London to headlining arenas and festivals worldwide,
the band’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and unrelenting
dedication to remaining prolific and vital in the present day.
Dive deep into their music, stage performances, and the iconic
figure of Eddie, their undead mascot. Readers will discover the stories
behind all their albums—such as Killers, The Number of the Beast,
and Powerslave, through to their most recent, Senjutsu (and all solo
releases)—as well as the inspiring creative and commercial resurgence
that the band experienced beginning with the return of Bruce Dickinson
to the fold in 1999. Anchored by the author’s 1995–2024 interviews
with all band members, this book is framed most pertinently as an
analysis of each Iron Maiden album, one per chapter, every song
discussed musically and at the literary end, along with the album covers
and the finer points of the recording process.
All
told, Hallowed By Their Name is the most voluminous and career-spanning
reference-level book on Iron Maiden ever written. And with an explosion
of photographic images as well, it’s sure to have fans scurrying back to
the sacred texts—Iron Maiden’s beloved records—for additional and
enriching reconsiderations of the many essential metal songs this band
has given us over the years. It’s a must-read for any music
enthusiast, a tribute to the indomitable spirit of Iron Maiden, and a
celebration of the band’s enduring six-decade legacy in the realm of
heavy metal.
