Unquestionably one of the most influential forces in heavy metal, Iron Maiden spearheaded metal in the early eighties and continue to define the genre. With over 85 million album sales, more than 2,000 live performances worldwide, and 15 studio albums to date, Iron Maiden are one of the hardest rocking and hardest working bands in rock.
On May 22nd, the six song pack "Maiden Epics" comes to the Rock Band Music Store. "Maiden Epics" represents a selection of Iron Maiden's most powerful and epic tracks from their albums recorded during the 1980s and thus ties in with their 2012 "Maiden England" Tour, the set list for which will be almost exclusively filled with classics from that remarkable decade.
Tracks in the "Maiden Epics" pack include: "Phantom of the Opera" from the band's 1980 self-titled debut studio record; "The Prisoner" from 1982's Number of the Beast; "The Flight of Icarus" from 1983's Piece of Mind; the 13-minute epic "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from 1984's Powerslave; and "Infinite Dreams" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son," from 1988's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
