IRON MAIDEN The Number of the Beast Poster 005

1982. Steve Harris writes a concept album loosely inspired by a narrative poem about the devil watching a man's dreams. Somewhere, a parent group loses their mind. Somewhere else, a kid puts this album cover on their bedroom wall and their life changes forever.

Derek Riggs painted Eddie as a puppet master holding Satan like a doll, Satan holding a tiny human like a doll. It's a three-tier hell hierarchy on one sleeve, and it remains one of the most iconic images heavy metal has ever produced. This poster belongs on the wall of anyone serious about the genre, whether that's the rehearsal room, the record den, or just wherever you stare when you're thinking too hard. Pure dark aesthetic, no explanation required.

Maxi poster, 60cm wide x 90cm tall. Can be framed in a black matte wooden frame with professional MDF mounting, send ALT CVLT a message to arrange.
