Iron Maiden - 1983 The Beast Is Rising

Review by Karin Andrén

Iron Maiden's 1983 album, The Beast Is Rising, is a classic heavy metal masterpiece that showcases the band's signature sound and energy. With iconic tracks like "Flight of Icarus" and "The Trooper," the album is a must-listen for any fan of the genre.

The album opens with the powerful "Where Eagles Dare," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The guitar riffs and solos from Dave Murray and Adrian Smith are exceptional, as always, and Bruce Dickinson's vocals are as powerful as ever. The title track, "The Beast Is Rising," is a standout with its ominous lyrics and thunderous drumming from Nicko McBrain.

One of the album's most well-known tracks, "Flight of Icarus," features an infectious chorus and a memorable guitar solo. "Die With Your Boots On" is another standout, with its fast-paced rhythm and catchy lyrics. The album's closer, "To Tame a Land," is a slower, more epic track that showcases the band's ability to tell a story through their music.

Summary by Karin Andrén

The Beast Is Rising is a must-have for any Iron Maiden fan and a great starting point for those new to the band. The album's energy and musicianship are unparalleled, and it remains a timeless classic in the world of heavy metal.
