Beware the Beast: hard rock pioneers Iron Maiden boast numerous awards, countless No.1 albums and singles worldwide and over 130 million sales. And with 2025 marking fifty years since their founding – on Christmas day, no less – there is simply nobody like them.

With three generations of fans oiling the jaws of the war machine, Maiden have roved across continents for fifty years, uniting fans worldwide under the twin banners of great music and unforgettable visuals. Between the talismanic talent of Bruce Dickinson, the genius songwriting of Steve Harris and the demonic undead gaze of Eddie, there is nowhere to hide from one of heavy metal’s last true behemoths.

This book celebrates the epic, all-conquering albums and gets under the skin of a group of characters unlike any other. Using new stories from over 80 original interviews, renowned music writer Joe Shooman has painted a truly kaleidoscopic, 360-degree portrait of Iron Maiden and their immortal music. Own it, read it and get ready to run for your lives.©2025 Joe Shooman (P)2025 W.F. Howes Ltd. Entertainment & Celebrities Music

An insightful and thorough audiobook that delves into the origins and evolution of the band as well as an interesting look into the discography of Iron Maiden. Very well narrated and easy to listen to. This has made me listen to the music of an iconic British heavy metal band once again - appreciating not just the well known songs but other album tracks. Up the Irons!
