Friday, July 26: Iron Maiden, "Invaders"

R.I.P. Clive Burr (1957-2013)

“Invaders” might be the most infamous track from Iron Maiden’s early years: the opening track on The Number of the Beast should theoretically have kickstarted what was ultimately a pivotal album for both the band and metal as a whole with power and glory, but it was immediately considered not only one of the weakest tracks on the album (second only to the even more maligned “Gangland”) but kind of an embarrassment for the band.  All these years later, it doesn’t totally add up: the tune was perfectly in line with where the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was in 1982, and indeed was one of the last truly aesthetically NWOBHM tracks Maiden would ever record, and had the inimitable gallop and tongue-twisting wordiness that immediately distinguished the band from their peers.  Alongside that was a commanding introductory performance from then-new frontman Bruce Dickinson, who made no attempts to even nod to his predecessor and seized the spotlight (and never let it go), not to mention suitably punchdrunk production from Martin Birch that both delivered a live and loose feel and highlighted the secret weapon swing of Clive Burr.  To be sure, “Invaders” didn’t have the clarity of purpose that turned The Number of the Beast’s more famous numbers into concert evergreens, but it still had all the elements that indicated Maiden would soon be a major international force, and even better still raged with hunger and fire.
