NO SLAVERY BUT WORLD SLAVERY IN 1984 -- THE POWER OF DEATH AWAITS YOU.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on poster designs for IRON MAIDEN's highly successful 1984-'85 "World Slavery Tour. Notorious for being the band's most arduous to date, the concert tour lasted 331 days, during which the band performed 189 gigs, the longest tour dates of their career. Artwork by Derek Riggs.
METAL ATTACK MAGAZINE (🇫🇷): "So what's new with MAIDEN?"
BRUCE DICKINSON: "Our new LP is called "Powerslave." After our last tour, which ended at the end of last year, we took a few weeks off. In February, we seriously started to write new material, then in March-April we went to the studio. And in May, we did the mixing. The past two months were spent rehearsing in order to be ready for the tour that starts in August in Poland."
METAL ATTACK: "Is "Powerslave" similar to "Piece Of Mind"?"
BRUCE: "There are many differences between the two albums. "Powerslave" is closer to "Number Of The Beast," which itself is reminiscent of the first album. "Piece of Mind" has got many similarities to "Killers," these two being more on the technical side and and containing a lot of thoughts. You shouldn't in any case lock yourself up into one type of music and do twice the same thing, this is not good for the band. Honestly, I think that this album is superior to the previous one. We took what was best in it, while stressing the aggressive style of "Number of the Beast" and we released a high-quality record, artistically-speaking, of course!"
