Hallowed Be Thy Name: The Iron Maiden Bible

England’s heavy metal group Iron Maiden has been around for six decades, has sold 130 million records, and still sells out concerts around the world. Rock journalist Popoff (Van Halen at 50) has written the lengthy and detailed tribute they deserve, celebrating the band’s long and successful legacy. This “bible,” which cheekily clocks in at 666 pages, is a highly detailed and immersive look at Iron Maiden from their scrappy origins in small London clubs to performing on enormous stages on nearly every continent. Each chapter is organized around the title of one of Iron Maiden’s almost three dozen albums, from their eponymous debut in 1980 to 2021’s Senjutsu, and Popoff is not shy about pointing out albums that miss the mark. He also surveys lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson’s solo efforts. Audiences can read straight through or skip to the sections about their favorite albums. Packed with more than 400 color and black-and-white photos and extensive, decades-spanning interviews with all the band members, this book is a rich resource for fans.
