Metaphysics of the Beast: A Philosophical Analysis of Iron Maiden Volume I 1980-1984 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798330316342)

"...I offer you a journey into a reality that's completely divorced from our own. One that encompasses the microcosm and macrocosm and delves into the recorded material of one of the greatest bands to ever exist-Iron Maiden."Following the excellent exploratory books Through the Mist and Madness: An Analytic Thesis on the First Three Metallica albums and Electric Funeral: Black Sabbath and the Cultural Landscape 1970-1975, Diabolique Magazine's Jerome Reuter turns his sights on to the kings of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Iron Maiden. Metaphysics of the Beast: A Philosophical Analysis of Iron Maiden Volume I 1980-1984is exactly what the title suggests-an intelligent deep dive into Maiden's first five albums (self-titled, Killers, Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and Powerslave). Reuter unearths, contextualizes, and reveals the magic storytelling and philosophical depth in Steve Harris and company's rich songwriting. Jerome Reuter is the managing editor, writer, and critic at Diabolique Magazine and a contributor at Metal Injection.
