Review: Back in the groove - At the age of 16, I had spent a quarter of my life worshipping Iron Maiden. Wishing I’d been at Long Beach, collecting every bit of vinyl they ever produced, including the Soundhouse Tapes. I saw them 4 times of the Seventh Son Tour, and I was at the last ever gig of that tour, and some might say the last ever gig of the classic years. I waited and waited afterwards at the back door of the Hammersmith Odeon hoping my heroes might come and meet a diehard. They sped past in their cars and I missed my last train home. Love affair over. I then discovered indie, grebo, dance music, E, hip hop and our paths went other ways. I laughed at No Prayer for the Dying, and then stopped even looking up from my copy of Mojo magazine. Bruce and Adrian came back and I heard good things but I just thought ‘ahhh cmon lads...’ give it up. Look at the elderly Rolling Stones. In the last few months however, at the age of 45, I’ve delved back. I still can’t bring myself to buy No Prayer, but Fear of the Dark isn’t toooooo bad, even though Here to Eternity’s lyrics are godawful (grow up Bruce/‘Arry). I might even give the Blaze albums a go (I saw Wolfsbane before they were signed and they were never as exciting again). I bought the comeback album Brave New World first and it underwhelmed me. Dance of Death is another matter. They sound assured, confident and totally back in their stride. The music is powerful and muscly like Piece of Mind or Powerslave, without sounding dated. It sounds fresh and new like Somewhere In Time did. I’m genuinely surprised. The lyrics aren’t cheesy, the sound is varied and the songs really aren’t too long, unlike what some press reviewers have said. So if you’re a rambling auld fart like me that bought Number of the Beast when it came out, try Dance of Death. I might even forgive them for Janick. Maybe. Review: Surprisingly awesome - I assumed this album wouldn't be as good as the greats, like seventh son of a seventh son, or number of the beast. But THIS is my favourite Maiden album now, it is simply outstanding. (I am only highlighting a few songs) "Rainmaker" is full of power, though it isn't heavy, it is very nice to the ears. Another great goes by the name of "Journeyman" again, this isn't in the traditional style Maiden are known to produce, however it is very energetic in it's own way. and if you are ever in a depressed mood, this will certainly make you feel better. Passchendaele (Well, they call it "Paschendale") Is rather unique but still in the British metal style. "No more lies" has strong vocals and the chorus will get you singing along. I wouldn't call it the best, but definitely a great. Dance of Death is the name of the album and I know why they chose that name, "Dance of death" is simply a must listen, Maiden sometimes make songs about adventures or rather mystical stories. A good example is "Still life" (In Piece of mind) But Dance of death really goes for the story telling and the general feel. I am very pleased with it. "Montsegur"? I think it is a bit over-rated although VERY CATCHY. I love it. :) All in all, Dance of Death is by far superior to other albums like Fear of the dark (And fear of the dark is a must get in my unpopular opinion) I cannot describe how amazed I was when I finished listening to it. I give this 5 stars. Effort= 10/10 Musical Talent= 9.4/10 Maiden, you did NOT disappoint me. The Album in general deserves a solid 9.8/10 A few guitar solos were same-old same-old, but awesome nonetheless. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XT5FCPM | | Best Sellers Rank | 13,011 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 850 in Heavy Metal 3,121 in Vinyl 5,403 in Rock | | Country of origin | France | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,707) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Label | PLG UK Frontline | | Manufacturer | PLG UK Frontline | | Manufacturer reference | 190295851965 | | Number of discs | 2 | | Original Release Date | 2017 | | Product Dimensions | 31.5 x 31.19 x 1.09 cm; 601.86 g | ## Images ![Dance of Death (2015 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Aq9qKIunL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Back in the groove *by S***G on 28 November 2017* At the age of 16, I had spent a quarter of my life worshipping Iron Maiden.

Probably my least favourite song on the album, but still worth listening to 7/10 7.New frontier- Another powerful riff, sounds like something off brave new world, good track, nice solo 8/10 8.Paschendale- Drags on a bit, but still with a cool and melodical chorus, some nice guitar licks 8/10 9.Face in the sand- nice slow build up, leading into a pretty good track, no powerful chorus though 7/10 10.The age of innocence- not a bad song, nothing special, pretty good riff, very good chorus 7/10 11.Journeyman- Beautiful closing track, orchestral music sounds fantastic, vocals are fantastic. An absolute maiden classic 10/10 ## Frequently Bought Together - Dance Of Death - Matter Of Life & Death - Brave New World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/49879004-dance-of-death-2015](https://www.desertcart.us/products/49879004-dance-of-death-2015) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
