Powerslave: VInyl LP

The 2024 pressing of Powerslave is the fifth studio album by the English heavy - metal titan Iron Maiden. It hit the shelves on 3 September 1984 via EMI in Europe and Capitol Records in North America, and was re - released in the US by Sanctuary/Columbia Records in 2002. The album stands out with its captivating Ancient Egyptian theme shown on the cover art, taken from the title track and carried through to the supporting 'The World Slavery Tour'. Kicking off in Warsaw, Poland on 9 August 1984, this tour is known as the band's longest and toughest so far and led to the live album Live After Death. Powerslave also features a musical retelling of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', using parts of the original poem as lyrics. At 13 minutes and 45 seconds, it was Iron Maiden's longest song for over 30 years until 'Empire of the Clouds' from 2015's The Book of Souls. This album is significant as it's the band's first with the same lineup as the previous studio release, and this lineup lasted for two more studio albums. It's also their last album to date with an instrumental piece. Tracklist: 1. Aces High 2. 2 Minutes to Midnight 3. Losfer Words (Big 'Orra) 4. Flash of the Blade 5. The Duellists 6. Back in the Village 7. Powerslave 8. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
