IRON MAIDEN Number Of The Beast Cassette 1982

The year was 1982. Bruce Dickinson walked into Iron Maiden and immediately started singing about the devil. Everyone else had to keep up.

The Number of the Beast is the album that turned heavy metal from a genre into a religion, complete with its own iconography, its own mythology, and its own moral panic from people who really should have had more interesting things to worry about. This is the record that introduced Eddie to his full potential, gave us "Hallowed Be Thy Name" (one of the greatest metal songs written by anyone, anywhere, ever), and cemented the NWOBHM as a genuine cultural force rather than a pub-circuit footnote. Now pressed for its 40th Anniversary Edition on cassette, because some formats are just correct for certain records. The hiss is part of it. Lean in.
