THE REVIEW
The debut of "The Ides Of March" that has all the appearance of being a monumental piece, marked by a slow tempo and well-defined and precise riffs, typical of this London band that began its debut in the distant '75. The second track, the famous "Wrathchild", very charged and well-defined in its parts, often reprised in Live performances, precisely because it deserves the fame it has earned among the band's Fans. The album continues with "Murders In The Rue Morgue" and "Another Life", the latter can be defined as a typical Iron Maiden song, punctuated by the timings of Nicko McBrain who changes continuously during the song. The album continues with "Genghis Khan" and "Innocent Exile" in which Steve Harris also finds his ample space. No need to reiterate the Riffs and the Verses that make every Iron song unmistakable. We arrive at "Killers", the song that gave the album its name; an intro that, like the entire song, keeps a "galloping" rhythm, which I personally adore. We arrive at "Prodigal Son" with this Acoustic and relaxing intro, which is then accompanied by drums and guitars that always maintain this enchanting Methodicity, marked by solos from which you can perceive a melancholic tinge. From the beginning, "Purgatory" awakens us from the melancholy that the previous track had brought us, with relentless rhythms and solos well-defined and impeccable as always, composing this typically Heavy song. We thus arrive at "Twilight Zone", yet another but tireless song from this Heavy Metal band that has marked history. We conclude with "Drifter", which has all the appearance of a song that the band used to leave anyone listening to this album with a typical Iron Maiden song from the '80s.
Very valid album, unfortunately overlooked and/or forgotten by many, marked by a set of very well-defined solos, even if not very fast or complex.

Steve Harris establishes himself as one of the greatest songwriters in history.
Paul Di'Anno puts so much emotion into his voice that it makes each song even more enjoyable.

I attack every living being who, starting from Killers, began collecting Maiden, because they are a useless band.
Bands like Maiden are amorphous beings who sold out to the highest bidder.
By carloirons
The five members are grandiose, united, perfect, and precise in their execution of the songs.
Di’Anno shouts wildly, schizophrenic, like the murderer he impersonates in the song.
By Sket
"So far we have heard ONLY masterpieces, and among these masterpieces, pieces like Innocent Exile or Purgatory fall into the norm."
"The title track. No comment folks, a masterpiece of the '80s history."

Mamma mia!!!! What rock!!!!
Wrathchild, a lightning bolt splitting the darkness, a cheetah-paced progression in a dark and fascinating stele.
