Powerslave is the fifth studio album by English heavy metal band Iron
Maiden, released on September 3, 1984 on EMI in Europe and its sister
label Capitol Records in the US. It is notable for its Ancient
Egyptian theme displayed in the cover artwork, lifted from the title
track, which was carried over to the album's supporting tour. The
World Slavery Tour' began in Warsaw, Poland on August 9, 1984, and is
widely regarded as being the band's longest and most arduous to date,
and lead to the live album Live After Death.
The release also
contains a musical retelling of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime
of the Ancient Mariner," which uses pieces of the original poem as
lyrics and is, furthermore, Iron Maiden's longest song to date (at
thirteen minutes and 40 seconds in length). Powerslave is also notable
as being the band's first album to feature the same lineup as the
previous one, which would remain intact for two further studio
releases. "2 Minutes to Midnight" and "Aces High" were released as
singles.
"The third in a trilogy of legendary Iron Maiden
albums, Powerslave is frequently ranked as the fan favorite of the
bunch, capping off a stellar run that sealed the band's genre-defining
status...Powerslave is perhaps the quintessential Maiden album,
capturing all the signature elements of the band's definitive era in
one place...By the end of the album, we're seeing Maiden at their most
progressive and ambitious..." -Steve Huey, allmusic.com
