Original vocalist Paul Di'Anno led the band through Iron Maiden (1980) and Killers (1981) before being replaced by Bruce Dickinson, whose arrival initiated the band's classic 1980s commercial peak. Dickinson departed in 1993, replaced by Blaze Bayley (1994-1999), before rejoining the band in 1999 alongside the returning Adrian Smith. The band's mascot Eddie has appeared on every album cover. They have sold more than 100 million records worldwide and have been a defining template for British heavy metal across multiple decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIron Maiden's sound combines heavy metal, NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal), traditional heavy metal, and progressive metal with Harris's signature galloping bass approach, the band's signature three-guitar arrangements (since 1999), Dickinson's operatic tenor vocal delivery, and extensive lyrical engagement with literature, history, mythology, and warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron Maiden (1980, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKillers (1981, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Number of the Beast (1982, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiece of Mind (1983, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerslave (1984, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhere in Time (1986, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Prayer for the Dying (1990, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFear of the Dark (1992, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrave New World (2000, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Matter of Life and Death (2006, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Final Frontier (2010, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Book of Souls (2015, BMG\/Parlophone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSenjutsu (2021, BMG\/Parlophone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal EMI pressings of the 1980s Iron Maiden catalog are foundational items in heavy metal collecting.
