Iron Maiden-Piece Of Mind (1983)

In 1982 Iron Maiden had captured one of the top heavy metal works with the album "The Number Of The Beast", an album that had been the presentation of Bruce Dickinson replacing Paul Di´Anno.
Since the aforementioned album the band had begun to leave behind their punk influences to focus on an epic heavy metal, with philosophical and historical stories.
With "Piece of Mind" released a year later, the memory of their punk past is totally forgotten to deepen the instrumental developments based on guitar riffs and songs like "Flight Of Icarus" or "The Trooper" become icons of the band.
Other songs like "Where Eagles Dare" made it clear where the band's trajectory would follow with an exercise of instrumental virtuosity on the part of all its members.
But also the band evolves to more commercial and even progressive lines like "To Tame a Land" or melodic lines like "Revelations".
