MADE IN SCANDINAVIA A Tribute To Iron Maiden (Various Atrists) CD 2000

Iron Maiden built an empire on galloping bass lines, twin guitar harmonies, and a zombie mascot who somehow became more beloved than most actual humans. Scandinavian metal took that blueprint personally.

Released in 2000, this tribute comp pulls together a slate of Nordic heavy metal acts paying homage to one of the genre's most untouchable catalogues. Scandinavia has always had a complicated, deeply reverent relationship with the NWOBHM sound, and that comes through here, bands who grew up with The Number of the Beast on rotation doing their level best to honour the riffs that shaped them. It's not a cash-in; it's a scene proving its lineage. The kind of release that ends up in a milk crate at a market and gets bought by someone who absolutely does not need another CD.

Format: Full Length Compilation CD. Genre: Heavy Metal.

Fans of: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween, Saxon.
