180g Black Vinyl LP Reissue!
Killers is the second album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on June 6, 1981 in the US. The album was their first with guitarist Adrian Smith and their last with vocalist Paul Di'Anno. This was also the first Iron Maiden album made with veteran producer Martin Birch, who went on to produce their next eight albums before retiring after Fear of the Dark in 1992.
The song "Wrathchild" is the only regularly played track from the album, appearing in almost all their concert tours. "Wrathchild" received regular radio play and has been covered by the band Sikth and the female tribute band The Iron Maidens. The song was also featured in the PlayStation 2 game Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.
"...the teaming of new guitarist Adrian Smith with Dave Murray forms the most formidable twin-guitar attack in heavy metal...The resulting instrumental fireworks are what truly make the album tick... Killers is clearly the work of a top-notch ensemble..." -Steve Huey, allmusic.com
