1981
Making of the new Iron Maiden Deep Purple: This is the purpose of EMI in 1979 when Harris and Associates is a sign a recording contract for the construction of three albums.
To strengthen the analogy between the two bands - although some important differences in style - helps the arrival of Martin Birch, the historical fact of the producer for Deep Purple and other historical groups such as Rainbow, Fleetwood Mac, Wisbone Ash, Whitesnake and Deep Purple.
And it is the man in black Ritchie Blackmore to make Birch listen to the debut album Maiden and suggest to produce them (source: the band's biography on the enhanced version of the Killers).
Birch heavy metal door and then the 'experience of a man who made the history of hard rock and has followed the development in the Rainbow Rising album and as the Sabbath Mob rules. As mentioned
strengthens the team, and decisively, even the arrival of guitarist Adrian Smith, a longtime friend of Dave Murray.
In a few months the band composed and recorded and then the second Killers album, which the critics consider as the best album ever by the British. The
think this way Luca Signorelli, one of the deans of journalism Italian Metal, who in his "The Aesthetics of the metalhead out there there are only dead" part of the second work of the 25 pieces Maiden Minimum metal discography.
Similarly Metallus assigns Killers - unique among the Maiden album - full marks. "It 's true masterpiece of the band - you can read the review - The Year with a dazzling, all of great quality and compositions inspired by musicians like never before." In space
Killers are old songs and new compositions excluded from the first album, and as Wrathchild Innocent Exile. The production of exceptional
Birch pulls the polished sound the Maiden.
Killers is without a doubt a unique chapter in the long discography of the British: hard, metal, intricate, technical but straightforward. Clive Burr's drumming fills every breath and leaves no space.
In terms of technical and executive the second chapter of the saga maideniana equipment includes small jewels like The Ides of March and Genghis Khan. Where you can fully appreciate the leap in quality product from the entrance of Smith.
The title track is perhaps the hardest piece ever made by Maiden and ferocious. The text, written by Paul Di Anno, was changed several times along the way before reaching a final version of this album. If
Killers, English in the home, does not repeat the success of their debut album - stops at the twelfth position of the UK charts - it is with the second work that Maiden are beginning to gain worldwide fame. Great
success especially in the Far East. Triumph in the Japanese tour dates will remain in the track maxi single Maiden Japan.
remains optimistic testimony of the Italian tour dates even bootleg Live in Reggio Emilia, recorded March 31, 1981.
At the end of the world tour, however, comes the cold shower. A life lived according to the pure R'n'R - smoking and drinking a lot more - to prevent a year to keep up an increasingly large band and requiring a greater professionalism. Some concerts are canceled precisely because of the poor condition of the singer. Year Of

Paul Di Anno and get Paul Bruce Dickinson, already under with Samson, with whom between 1979 and 1981 he recorded three studio albums: Survivors, Head On and Shock tactics and the Live at Reading. And on the occasion of the historic festival English - so the legend goes - Rod Smallwood proposed Bruce to join the band.
The new line up is tried and tested with a series of concerts in Italy October 26 to 30: Bologna - the first-ever concert with Bruce's Iron Maiden -, Florence, Rome, Udine and Milan.
