Artwork
Album
Killers is the second album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 2 February 1981 in the UK, and 6 June 1981 in the U.S. The album was their first with guitarist Adrian Smith and their last with vocalist Paul Di'Anno, who was sacked after problems with his stage performance arose due to his alcohol and cocaine use. This was also the first Iron Maiden album made with veteran producer Martin Birch, who went on to produce their next eight albums before retiring after Fear of the Dark in 1992.
Iron Maiden wasted little time writing and recording material for the follow-up to their impressive self-titled debut disc. Despite a change in personnel (guitarist Adrian "H" Smith replaced Dennis Stratton), Steve Harris remained the man in command and Maiden hit the studio with noted hard rock/heavy metal producer Martin "The Headmaster" Birch. The end result was the Killers album, an aptly titled collection of eleven deadly cuts.
The Killers LP takes no prisoners, and the LP is a classic release from the storied New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. From the off, Maiden deliver the goods, as the minute-plus instrumental, "The Ides of March", sets the stage for the lean 'n' mean "Wrathchild", followed by "Murders in the Rue Morgue". The speed and galloping riffs continue to be driven home with authority and vigor. Maiden step on the throat with the likes of "Innocent Exile", "Pugatory", "Drifter", and "Genghis Khan".
This was the last Maiden studio release to feature front man Paul Di'Anno, as the time honored excesses got the best of the singer. Nonetheless, the hard working Maiden would soon be on the verge of worldwide domination.
In 1995, Castle Records reissued Killers, with the addition of a bonus CD. The limited edition two-disc set contains a total of eight extra I.M. cuts, which includes the five songs from the Maiden Japan live EP.
