DLC Week of 5/22 - Iron Maiden Epics 6 Pack!
Hey gang,
Unquestionably one of the most influential forces in heavy metal, Iron Maiden spearheaded metal in the early eighties and continue to define the genre. With over 85 million album sales, more than 2,000 live performances worldwide, and 15 studio albums to date, Iron Maiden are one of the hardest rocking and hardest working bands in rock.
On May 22nd, the six song pack Maiden Epics comes to the Rock Band Music Store. "Maiden Epics" represents a selection of Iron Maiden's most powerful and epic tracks from their albums recorded during the 1980s and thus ties in with their 2012 Maiden England Tour, the set list for which will be almost exclusively filled with classics from that remarkable decade.
Tracks in the Maiden Epics pack include: Phantom of the Opera from the bands 1980 self-titled debut studio record; The Prisoner from 1982s Number of the Beast; The Flight of Icarus from 1983s Piece of Mind; the 13-minute epic Rime of the Ancient Mariner from 1984s Powerslave; and Infinite Dreams and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, from 1988s Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
This June, Iron Maiden will embark on an extensive "Maiden England" North American tour starting in Charlotte, NC on June 21st and finishing up in Houston, TX on August 18th. For more information, head to
