Iron Maiden – Fear Of The Dark

Iron Maiden’s Fear of the Dark is one of the band’s most divisive yet memorable albums, and this Parlophone/Warner UK 2×12″ vinyl reissue (0190295852344) does it justice with 180g heavyweight pressings, remastered audio and a gatefold sleeve that feels right at home in any Maiden collection. Originally released in 1992 as the band’s ninth studio album and the last with Bruce Dickinson before his late-90s departure, the record straddles heavy metal tradition and early-90s experimentation.
