Iron Maiden hit full imperial stride on Powerslave, the 1984 album that dressed British heavy metal in pharaoh's gold. This UK import puts the Egyptian epic back on a single black LP.

It arrived as the band's fifth studio album and the first made with an unchanged lineup from the record before. Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Nicko McBrain had locked into a formidable chemistry, and producer Martin Birch captured it with punch and clarity. The World Slavery Tour that followed became one of the most gruelling runs in metal history.

The opening pair still sets pulses racing. Aces High dives straight into a dogfight over the English Channel, all galloping bass and air-raid vocals, while 2 Minutes To Midnight snarls at the arms race with one of Smith and Dickinson's sharpest riffs.

Side two belongs to grand ambition. The title track Powerslave pairs a dying god-king's lament with snaking Eastern melodies, and Rime Of The Ancient Mariner stretches Coleridge's poem into a thirteen-minute voyage of creaking ship's timbers, eerie narration and twin-guitar storms.

Wrapped in Derek Riggs' towering pyramid artwork, Powerslave remains a cornerstone of any metal shelf, and a reminder of how ambitious this band became at its peak.
