Info for The Final Frontier (2015 Remaster)

"The Final Frontier" ist das 15. Studio-Album der britischen Heavy-Metal-Band Iron Maiden. Es erschien am 13. August 2010 in Europa sowie am 17. August 2010 in Nordamerika. Produzent von "The Final Frontier" war erneut Kevin Shirley, als Co-Produzent agierte Steve Harris. Die Liedtexte handeln überwiegend von Themen aus der Science Fiction. Die durchschnittliche Laufzeit der Stücke ist mit fast acht Minuten die bisher längste in der Maiden-Bandgeschichte. Das Artwork des Covers von "The Final Frontier" stammt von Melvyn Grant, welcher auch schon für das Artwork von "Fear of the Dark", "Virtual X"I und "Death on the Road" verantwortlich war.

"Insgesamt kann ich das Album also durchaus empfehlen, vor allem wenn man einfach mal nur gute Musik bewusst, bei einem Bierchen oder zwei, hören will. Zurück lehnen und genießen. Das Album ist, wie bereits erwähnt, sehr progressiv, es enthält einige Long-Player und viele vergleichsweise ruhige Songs. Wer neue Mitgröhl-Songs sucht, wird mit dem Album wenig Freude haben. Dafür entschädigen eben großartige Songs wie “When The Wild Wind Blows” und “Satellite 15… The Final Frontier“, welche man sich in Ruhe anhören sollte um die teils epische Breite voll aus zu kosten." (Severin “Maverick” Lochinger)

Iron Maiden
was formed in the year 1976 by bassist Steve Harris. They released their first album in 1980 as a five piece band with Paul Di’Anno on vocals. Later, Bruce Dickinson replaced him in 1981. With several line-up changes Steve Harris would remain the only original member never to have had a hiatus. When Bruce Dickinson quit in 1994 and was replaced by Wolfsbane’s Blaze Bayley, the band lost a lot of their fanbase. They recorded two albums with Blaze before Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith returned to the fold for 2000’s “Brave New World”, and 2003’s “Dance of Death”, making them a six-piece. As of 1999 the line-up hasn’t changed. Here’s the biography of this popular band.

Known for such powerful hits as “Two Minutes to Midnight” and “The Trooper,” Iron Maiden were and are one of the most influential bands of the heavy metal genre. The often-imitated band has existed for over nearly four decades, pumping out wild rock similar to Judas Priest. Iron Maiden have always been an underground attraction; although failing to ever obtain any real media attention in the U.S. (critics claimed them to be Satanists due to their dark musical themes and their use of grim mascot “Eddie”), they still became well-known throughout the world and have remained consistently popular throughout their career. Iron Maiden were one of the first groups to be classified as “British metal,” and, along with Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and a host of other bands, set the rock scene for the ’80s.
