Iron Maiden celebrates the 40th anniversary of their multi-million selling sixth album, 'Somewhere in Time', with the release of this limited edition oxblood colour vinyl, featuring the 2015 remastered audio.<br/><br/>Featuring many songs that Iron Maiden has included in their live set in recent years, including 'Wasted Years', 'Caught Somewhere In Time' and the epic 'Alexander The Great', it saw the band reach new heights around the world, setting them up to soon become the biggest metal band on the planet.

On their forthcoming 25th studio album, the British heavy metal legends deliver ten powerful, quintessential Saxon songs spanning a broad range of historically charged themes, from ancient mythology to the brutal realities of royal history.<br/><br/>Produced by legendary founder and frontman Biff Byford and mixed by Andy Sneap, Gods of Thunder captures the band at the height of their powers, combining forceful performances with vivid, meticulously crafted storytelling. <br/><br/>Each track is built around the weight, dynamics and intricate arrangements that have long defined Saxon's music, while the album as a whole maintains a strong sense of focus and efficiency.Take "Medusa", driven by a taut, mesmeric riff and delivered at a relentless pace, while the title track, "Gods of Thunder", is a powerful, anthemic journey into the world of Celtic mythology. <br/><br/>Byford's longstanding passion for history is central to the album, with his distinctive storytelling bringing characters and events from the past vividly to life. <br/><br/>On "The Bloody Tower (The Ballad of Anne Boleyn)", he recounts the politically charged execution of Anne Boleyn, while "Remember the Alamo" charges forward with the fast-paced energy and spirit of early '80s NWOBHM. <br/><br/>The twin-guitar attack of Doug Scarratt and Brian Tatler is particularly prominent on "Temple of Rock", underpinned by the rock-solid rhythm section of Nigel Glocker and Tim 'Nibbs' Carter. <br/><br/>The album closes with "MI5", a timeless headbanger that brings together themes of the Berlin Wall and Cold War espionage.Gods of Thunder is a focused, powerful statement from one of British heavy metal's most enduring bands, with Saxon sounding as vital and uncompromising as ever.
