Iron Maiden

British metal pioneers

Iron Maiden is a British heavy metal band formed in 1975, known for elaborate stage shows, galloping bass lines, and their skeletal mascot Eddie.

The band's name evokes both the torture device and the unyielding quality of their sound: Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" is a metal classic. (Lowercase iron maiden is the torture device.)
