Iron Maiden: Bruce Dickinson (vocals); Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Jannick Gers (guitar); Steve Harris (bass); Nicko McBrain (drums).
Recorded at Sarm Studios (West), London, England.
Recording information: Sarm Studios, West London.
Photographer: Simon Fowler.
Drummer Nicko McBrain kicks off Iron Maiden's 13th studio record with an uncharacteristic one-two-three-four before launching into the rousing opener, "Wildest Dreams." This bar-band sensibility permeates Dance of Death's first three refreshing yet unremarkable tracks before shifting into the more familiar fantasy rock of previous releases. That shift begins with the remarkable "Montsegur," a brutal, melodic assault that recalls the group's glory days and showcases lead singer Bruce Dickinson at his venom-spitting best. The anthemic "New Frontier" is a musical sibling to the band's 1982 classic "Number of the Beast" and eclipses any doubt about the band's ability to keep up with the phantom specter of age. Despite the dark imagery and the ferocity of the performances, there's a looseness to the record that conveys a surreal sense of fun. They enjoy playing together, and that more than anything shines through on old-fashioned rockers like "No More Lies" and "Gates of Tomorrow." No Iron Maiden album would be complete without a Dungeons and Dragons-style epic, and they deliver on the hammy title track and the lush closer, "Journeyman." The group's innate ability to consistently cater to its fans' stubborn tastes, while maintaining a level of integrity that other veteran bands displace with unintentional Spinal Tap zeal, is a testament to its talent and experience. While the keyboard-heavy sound of their previous release, the excellent Brave New World, creeps into some of the more indulgent tracks, Dance of Death is a triumphant return to form for these heavy metal legends. ~ James Christopher Monger
Thirteen proves to be quite the lucky number for Iron Maiden as DANCE OF DEATH, the 2003 studio offering by these metal legends, picks up where BRAVE NEW WORLD, its predecessor and first album reuniting Bruce Dickinson with the band, left off. In keeping with Maiden's penchant for looking to history and literature for inspiration, songs like the eight-minute plus "Paschendale," with its light use of strings and intriguing time changes, is based on a historic World War I battle. Likewise "Montsegur," a song soaked in soaring leads and a galloping rhythm follows a similar path as an ode to the Cathars, a French religious sect that established its own civilization in the Middle Ages. To be sure, there's more than enough Dark Age-inspired drama in the shape of the supernatural title cut and stampeding "New Frontier," but this U.K. sextet throws a true curve by way of "Journeyman," a closing cut shrouded in strings and acoustic guitar that's every bit as moving as anything else on DANCE OF DEATH.

Award Winner

Q (10/03, p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...'Wildest Dreams' is a fiery opener and 'Paschendale' a mighty epic....There's still nobody who does blood and thunder quite like Iron Maiden.."

3 stars Ok album
Today's Iron Maiden is nothing like the 80s version, which is prefectly fine. I like a band to evolve over time. These days they sound more symphonic. They are not as aggressive sounding, but the compositions continue to be excellent. Yet, I will forever be a fan of Piece of Mind, # of the Beast and Killers era. These albums represent some their best, but any album from the 80s slays.

5 stars Absolutely Brilliant
Iron Maiden return after their comeback album "Brave New World" with a darker and without doubt better effort. The music is perfect and you get great melody, thunderous riffs and bits of orchestral parts which blends perfectly with their style of music. Their best album so far. A Classic.

5 stars Fantastic and Brilliant
Maiden have proved once again that they are the best in their genre. With this album they deliver loads of nut-cracking riffs and a whole variety of melodies but still keeping themselves contemporary. A must for all hard rock fans. Absolutely over the top stuff.

3 stars NOT SO GREAT
If you like FEAR OF THE DARK, VISRTUAL XI or FACTOR X, maybe you will ove this album. Recorded with old technology, this full of slow parts (maybe thinking that they are an epica band now), long songs. Sometimes this album seems to be a BRUCE DICKINSON solo record: ACCIDENT OF BIRTH and CHEMICAL WEDDING. Why they still need three guitars???

4 stars Bruce is back
Can't really enjoy Maiden without Bruce, glad he's back and the sound brings back good memories. 4-5 songs pretty hot, the rest is average. Overall good CD.

Dance Of Death

The Heavy Metal community gives its bands a pretty wide berth; that's one way to explain the success of Uriah Heep. Some will tell you that they were not the best band in the world, but that's not being fair to this multi-talented group of individuals. The group have consistently produced a series of high quality hard rock, and have lasted longer than most bands of that genre. This CD use tracks from Uriah Heep's more eclectic side. It comes with new liner notes from Record Collector's Joe Geesin, and is a great addition to the ever expanding Heep Catalogue. Sanctuary. 2005. Here's a roomy two-disc Tardis that transports you back to the center of the original storm. Castle has reissued the same rabbit from their hat so many times that you'd be justified in expecting another unnecessary trip, but you'll want to get on board for Travellers in Time: Anthology, Vol. 1. Spot-on in its selection and sound quality, this is desert-island Uriah Heep (the participation of Ken Hensley in compiling this ...
Getting Away With Murder
Papa Roach Getting Away With Murder CD  (2004) Enhanced CD; Import

Dance Of Death
CD $21.05
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Getting Away with Murder offers Papa Roach fans more of the California combo's hard-hitting rage rock. Jacoby Shaddix (the name change stands) and crew have moved fully away from the rap rock blip that put them on the radar around the turn of the century. But they haven't lost their amplified intensity, nor the obsession with depressing, vaguely S&M-ish lyrics. (Example: "I'm a glutton for your punishment/You're the master/And I'm waiting for disaster") Production from Howard Benson and the mixing of Chris Lord-Alge ensure a crushingly compressed, radio-ready juggernaut, and the title track doesn't disappoint in that department. "Be Free" is also a standout, moving slightly away from the usual heavy mid-tempo sound for a scathing exploration of the ravages of alcoholism on Shaddix' tortured psyche. Fans of the Roach will certainly enjoy the loud, blustery Getting Away With Murder, even if it's not necessarily helping this fluxing genre through its growing pains. ~ Johnny Loftus
Howard Benson, Chris Lord-Alge, Papa Roach. It's gotten to the point where you can fill in the last name with another combo of mascara-eyed angry men jockeying for position in the bubbling ooze of the post-rap-rock (yes, that's a term) universe. Producer Benson and mixer Lord-Alge are professionals both, masters of compression and punching up the radio mix. This is what they offer Papa Roach -- a promise that the band's Getting Away with Murder will sound both raging and properly marketable. To that end, "Not Listening" rewrites the 2001 Roach hit "Last Resort" without the rap, while the big title-track single is built around a mechanistic Korn bass throb and a carnival funhouse lead guitar line. (The better to scare you with, see.) On the latter, Jacoby Shaddix (the name change still stands) incorporates the affected ...
