THE REVIEW

"Seven deadly sins, seven ways to win, seven holy paths to hell, and your trip begins, seven downward slopes and seven bloodied hopes, seven are your burning fires and seven your desires, I am he the bornless one, the fallen angel watching you Babylon

 This album is a masterpiece, dark, tormented, reflective!

 Iron Maiden is one of the few bands from which high-ranking lyrics arise, as if we were facing a text of history and literature.

 Seventh Son of A Seventh Son is worth the entire album, perhaps the most beautiful heavy metal track in history.

 This remains the best Iron Maiden album along with The Number Of The Beast... it represents the highest point of the band’s history from a creative standpoint.


By cptgaio

 This album has the magical power to open the doors (at least those of my house).

 I find it hard to save any of their ’90s albums, but this one shaped prog metal and remains powerful and reflective.


By pepozzo

 A true masterpiece from every point of view.

 The keyboards blend perfectly with the distorted guitars to create an album concept that gives chills.

 I’ve simply fallen in love, madly in love with Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

 I’m happy to have found a true passion, something I feel is mine, for a band I’ve always felt was everyone’s and therefore nobody’s.
