Released in 1981, Killers solidified Iron Maiden's status as heavy metal pioneers. Building on the foundation laid by their self-titled debut album, the band pushed their boundaries and continued to evolve by delivering a record that combined adrenaline-fueled energy with thought-provoking lyrics and some of the greatest riffs you’re ever likely to hear.
It’s also Paul Di’Anno's final album, as vocalist, with Maiden and is somewhat bittersweet for as incredible as Bruce Dickinson is on the microphone, Di’Anno’s gravelly singing style was perfect for Maiden’s musical style. That said, I can’t imagine Maiden’s albums post-Killers had Di’Anno remained a member of the band. What has remained consistent, throughout the years, is Maiden’s album artwork and Killers is one of their very best. Eddie’s demonic grin is captivating and if the music doesn’t grab you, the artwork certainly will.
