Released
in 1984, Powerslave is Iron Maiden’s fifth studio release and vocalist
Bruce Dickinson’s third outing with the band. While opinions will
differ, Powerslave is arguably the strongest, early-80s, release for
Maiden as The Number Of The Beast and Piece Of Mind both have
exceptional songs but aren’t quite the cohesive album experience that
Powerslave is. If nothing else, Powerslave is the embodiment of the
heavy metal genre featuring intricate compositions and powerful
performances that marked a high point in the band’s career, both in
terms of their musical evolution and global popularity.
As is always
the case with Iron Maiden, the album artwork is exquisite. Of course,
with a keen interest in Ancient Egypt, I may be a little biased, but
Powerslave doesn’t disappoint in that regard for it is as bold as the
music contained within. However, when you get down to the sonic elements
of Maiden’s records, while the production and overall mix are generally
superb, the mastering of their albums, particularly the remastered
releases, has been a point of contention amongst fans.
