Why AMOLAD is (one of) the MOST important IRON MAIDEN albums

Описание: Iron Maiden’s “A Matter Of Life And Death” is one of the most overlooked albums in the band’s discography. And yet to this very day it continues shaping the “modern” Maiden.

Released on August 25, 2006 it became the third album after Bruce Dickinson’s and Adrian Smith’s return. And the third one with three guitarists in the line-up.

So as a part of our “Up The Irons” series let’s dive deeper into “A Matter Of Life And Death”, take a look at some interesting facts about this album, talk about its relations with comics, war and religion. And then hopefully answer the question of how “A Matter Of Life And Death” still shapes the ‘modern’ sound of the British heavy metal legend.
