Powerslave

Powerslave is an album by Iron Maiden in 1984. It was the first album without any changes with regard to the members of the band. The influences of Deep Purple can be heard clearly. The pure heavy metal is subtly interspersed with styles more hard rock reminiscent and seventies rock. This is most evident in the title track.

This is also the last album by Iron Maiden on which an instrumental number is ("Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)" or Lost for words, Big Horror referring to a writer's block ). Also the longest track of the band is on this album, namely Rime of the Ancient Mariner, based on the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge : The Rime of the Ancient Mariner .
