Iron Maiden-"Somewhere In Time" (1986)

After the world tour supporting the album "Powerslave" Iron Maiden had already reached part of their immortality thanks to said album and the subsequent double live, recorded during the "World Slavery Tour", the superb "Live After Death".
With a very high bar, the group without delay headed to the Bahamas to record their sixth album, with Martin Birch as producer.
Since its publication "Somewhere In Time" became one of his top works, with its amazing cover by the usual Derek Riggs, which left us with an Eddie turned into a Cyborg in the middle of a big city (clear allegory of technological change that Iron Maiden showed).
A cover that in high resolution shows an infinity of details related to the band such as the poster for Acacia Avenue, Long Beach Arena, Rainbow Theater, the Ruskin Arms pub, a clock striking 11:58 p.m., a cinema showing Live After Death, Icarus falling in flames from the sky, a neon sign with the Eye of Horus, the Aces High bar and a long more.
From the initial and progressive "Caught Somewhere In Time", to the epic "Alexander The Great" in reverence to the life and work of Alexander the Great, passing through hymns like "Wasted Years", the also progressive "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner", the rock arena "Heaven Can Wait" or the dizzying "Sea Of Madness", make up a spectacular, forceful and apotheosis album.
