I first saw the album cover of Iron Maiden’s The Number of The Beast by way of a poster while at a family friend’s house when I was 8 or 9 years old. I remember feeling scared and excited at the same time. It wasn’t until a few months later while at a sleepover I heard the album in its entirety. The album had a huge impact on my life growing up. I had realized at a young age how the imagery of an album connected with me just as the music did. In the first episode of Classic Album Rewind I take a look back at the influence and impact The Number of The Beast had on the hard rock and heavy metal community. Please enjoy the episode!
