The Profile

British heavy metal band formed in 1975, led by bassist and principal songwriter Steve Harris. Famous for epic studio albums, theatrical live shows featuring vocalist Bruce Dickinson, and the mascot Eddie.

Formed in East London in 1975; Steve Harris is the band's founder and primary songwriter; Bruce Dickinson is the long-time lead vocalist (on most classic albums); Eddie the mascot was created by artist Derek Riggs. The band is associated with the NWOBHM and major live releases such as Live After Death.

DeBaser's reviews paint Iron Maiden as a long-lived, divisive heavy-metal institution: brilliant live, occasionally uneven in studio. Critics praise epic suites, Dickinson's theatrics and Harris's songwriting while noting verbosity and prog tendencies. Best approached with an open ear; fans will find treasures across eras.
