From Fear to Eternity - The Best of Iron Maiden 1990-2010

Spanning the past 20 years, 'From Fear to Eternity' follows the huge success of Iron Maiden's 2010 studio album, 'The Final Frontier', which hit the number one spot in 28 countries around the world. It also became the band's highest-charting effort in the U.S.A. where they were awarded their first Grammy for Best Metal Performance, for the song "El Dorado" (included in this selection).

Maiden's current phenomenal global success has seen the band not only scale new-found heights aided by their unique method of touring, using a customized Boeing 757 - named Ed Force One by their fans - to transport band, crew and all their equipment round the world to many new places, but has meant their ever-expanding fanbase now encompasses a brand new generation of metal lovers. 'From Fear to Eternity' is a chance for these new fans of the group to explore Maiden's rich history, with the highlights of their last eight studio creations distilled into this handy collection which is a kind of sequel to 2009's compilation of their earlier work, the 1980-1990 'Somewhere Back in Time' album.

Perennial favourites to be found this time round include songs also featured in Maiden's 'The Final Frontier World Tour' set list; tracks such as "Fear of the Dark", "The Wicker Man", "Blood Brothers" and "Dance of Death" sit alongside recent classics "El Dorado" and the hauntingly evocative "When the Wild Wind Blows". 'From Fear to Eternity' also boasts singles like "Holy Smoke" and "Be Quick or be Dead" together with more progressive thought-provoking album cuts like "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" and "For the Greater Good of God".

This 23-track collection charts the musical development of Britain's most successful heavy rock band as they have evolved their sound, producing longer, more complex songs, and gaining huge critical acclaim in the process. Featuring many of the epics for which Maiden has become renowned, 'From Fear to Eternity' is accordingly available as a double-disc set but at the price of a single album!
