Bassist Steve Harris founded Iron Maiden in the mid-1970s, but was waylaid for years playing in London pubs while punk rock dominated Britain’s musical zeitgeist and heavy metal was out of favor. But Harris would not be deterred and his band duly became the lynchpins of the era-defining New Wave of British Heavy Metal, with the release of their 1980 debut album and ’81’s ‘Killers,’ featuring singer Paul Di’Anno, guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, and drummer Clive Burr. Bruce Dickinson replaced Di’Anno for 1982’s ‘The Number of the Beast’ and Nicko McBrain stepped in for Burr on 1983’s ‘Piece of Mind,’ initiating a period of unmatched prosperity, backed by extensive global touring (chronicled on 1985’s ‘Live After Death’) and future standards of the genre like ‘Powerslave’ (1984), ‘Some-where in Time’ (1986) and ‘Seventh Son of a Seventh Son’ (1988). As if all this weren’t enough, the band even regaled heavy metal with one of its greatest icons, and surely its most famous mascot in Eddie the ‘ed, whose grotesque visage decorated all of their al-bum covers. Iron Maiden’s juggernaut finally hit a few speed bumps during the grunge-dominated 1990s, when first Smith, then Dickinson, departed for solo careers and were replaced by guitarist Janick Gers and vocalist Blaze Bailey, respectively, for a pair of poorly received LPs. Luckily, both Smith and Dickinson rejoined in the year 2000 for what proved to be a triumphant reunion (Bailey was fired and Gers retained in a new three-guitar front line). Now a sextet, Iron Maiden quickly regained their status atop the heavy metal firmament with best-selling albums like ‘Brave New World’ and ‘A Matter of Life and Death,’ as well as sold out tours taking them to every corner of the globe, as documented by 2009’s excellent ‘Flight 666’ documentary. When all is said and done, Iron Maiden will likely figure among the all-time giants of heavy metal, alongside Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Metallica.”,”post_count”:748,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/iron-maiden/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/iron-maiden/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:578,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:700,”slug”:”lamb-of-god”,”title”:”Lamb of God”,”description”:”Richmond, Virginia’s Lamb of God are one America’s most popular heavy metal bands of the third millennium, with sold out concert tours, several million albums, and numerous awards bestowed upon their aggressive blend of groove, death, and mainstream metal. First founded in 1994 as Burn the Priest, a moniker under which they released an independent self-titled album five years later, the group adopted the Lamb of God name ahead of signing with Prosthetic Records and releasing the following year’s enthusiasti-cally received ‘New American Gospel’ album. Band members Randy Blythe (vocals), Duane Morton (guitar), Willie Adler (guitar), John Campbell (bass) and Chris Adler (drums) then proceeded to tour for two solid years, greatly developing their fan base before recording 2003’s ‘As the Palaces Burn,’ which won top honors from both ‘Revolver’ and ‘Metal Hammer’ magazines, and led to a major label deal with Epic Records. Lamb of God continued their inexorable career march with the following year’s ‘Ashes of the Wake,’ 2006’s Grammy-nominated ‘Sacrament,’ 2009’s ‘Wrath,’ which amazingly climbed to number two on the Billboard charts, and 2012’s ‘Resolution,’ which paved the way to the band’s most extensive global touring yet. Then, on June 27, 2012, singer Randy Blythe was arrested in Prague on accusations of inflicting bodily harm upon a fan who had died after Lamb of God’s performance in that city, two years earlier. Blythe was eventually cleared of all charges, but the incident cast a pall over the entire band and continues to haunt the musicians (including Blythe, who is working on a book) as they prepare to record Lamb of God’s next studio album, with an expected 2015 release date.”,”post_count”:570,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/lamb-of-god/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/lamb-of-god/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:709,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:429,”slug”:”megadeth”,”title”:”Megadeth”,”description”:”Megadeth are one of heavy metal’s most successful and prolific groups, with frequently released new albums and constant touring worldwide; yet they will always be most closely associated with the ‘80s thrash metal movement, which they helped pioneer as one of the so-called Big Four, alongside Slayer, Anthrax and eternal nemesis, Metallica. It was, in fact, after his 1983 dismissal from Metallica that guitarist and vocalist Dave Mustaine launched Megadeth, with the help of bassist David Ellefson and, later, guitarist Chris Poland and drummer Gar Samuel, both of whom exited following 1986’s water-shed second album, ‘Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?’ Personnel flux and substance abuse continued to afflict Megadeth until the early 1990s, when new members Marty Friedman (guitar) and Nick Menza (drums), helped Mustaine and Ellefson enjoy a dec-ade of creative and commercial prosperity, off the back of acclaimed albums like ‘Rust in Peace’ and ‘Countdown to Extinction.’ A change of direction and musicians, followed by a serious arm injury sustained by Mustaine temporarily stalled Megadeth’s career, but as of 2004, the tenacious guitarist has been driving Megadeth and its ever-revolving cast of backing musicians onward with his usual tenacity and talent, now widely recog-nized as one of heavy metal’s all-time most inventive guitarists.”,”post_count”:922,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/megadeth/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/megadeth/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:436,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:890,”slug”:”meshuggah”,”title”:”Meshuggah”,”description”:””,”post_count”:108,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/meshuggah/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/meshuggah/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:899,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:344,”slug”:”metallica”,”title”:”Metallica”,”description”:”Metallica are arguably the most widely known and commercially successful heavy metal band of all time, with an estimated 120 million albums sold worldwide. Formed in Los Angeles, in 1981, before relocating to San Francisco two years later, Metallica helped both spearhead and define the thrash metal genre with a quartet of classic ‘80s albums. In the ‘90s, vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Jason Newsted (who replaced the deceased Cliff Burton, in 1986), embraced more accessible sounds and new compositional styles, to the chagrin of some diehard fans. But the band’s remarkable career momentum did not suffer until the early ‘00s, when an ill-advised skirmish with the file sharing network Napster combined with the poorly received ‘St. Anger’ album and assorted personal demons (all of them painfully documented by the infamous feature-length documentary, ‘Some Kind of Mon-ster’) to threaten the band’s future. Metallica duly recovered, however, with the help of new bassist Robert Trujillo, a back to basics LP (2008’s ‘Death Magnetic’) and a never flagging stadium-packing capacity across the globe. “,”post_count”:2364,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/metallica/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/metallica/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:351,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:776,”slug”:”motionless-in-white”,”title”:”Motionless in White”,”description”:””,”post_count”:144,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/motionless-in-white/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/motionless-in-white/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:785,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:288,”slug”:”ozzy-osbourne”,”title”:”Ozzy Osbourne”,”description”:”The notorious “heavy metal madman,” singer Ozzy Osbourne is perhaps the most celebrated and widely recognized artist to ever work in the heavy metal sphere. Born on December 3, 1948, in the Aston neighborhood of Birmingham, England, Osbourne became a founding member of Black Sabbath, which laid the very foundation for heavy metal with their early ‘70s albums, including essential titles like ‘Paranoid,’ ‘Master of Reality’ and ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.’ After parting ways with Sabbath acrimoniously in 1978, Osbourne embarked on an initially discredited solo career, only to turn the tables on his former bandmates (who had enjoyed an immediate rebirth with his replacement, Ronnie James Dio, before falling on hard times themselves) with the help of guitar hero Randy Rhoads, and hit albums like ‘Blizzard of Ozz’ and ‘Diary of a Madman.’ Not even Rhoads’ tragic death in an airplane crash could derail Osbourne’s newfound career momentum — though Ozzy himself sure gave it his best shot, via his chronic drug abuse and infamous antics that ranged from urinating on the Alamo to biting off the heads of assorted flying creatures. Another hot shot guitarist, Jake E. Lee, backed Os-bourne for two strong albums, 1983’s ‘Bark at the Moon’ and ’86’s ‘The Ultimate Sin,’ before giving way to Zakk Wylde for 1988’s ‘No Rest for the Wicked’ and 1991’s career highlight ‘No More Tears,’ after which Osbourne announced his retirement. But this lasted all of a few months, and by 1995 the singer had a new solo album, ‘Ozzmosis,’ in record stores and was soon to embark on the first of his annual Ozzfests (devised with manager and wife Sharon Osbourne), which became the preeminent heavy metal festi-val of the ensuing decade and, among other things, accelerated his touring reunion with Black Sabbath. The band might have also resumed their recording activities in 2002, if not for the breakaway success of the reality TV show, ‘The Osbournes,’ which transformed Ozzy from heavy metal legend to mainstream celebrity, and convinced him to devote the third millennium’s first decade to more solo albums and tours, instead of Sabbath. Finally, 2011 saw the seminal old band’s official reunion (minus drummer Bill Ward) for the recording of 2013’s ’13’ album, and it currently appears as though Osbourne will remain committed to Black Sabbath for the immediate future, while continuing to pursue the odd extra-curricular project relating to his widespread fame.”,”post_count”:846,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/ozzy-osbourne/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/ozzy-osbourne/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:294,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:486,”slug”:”pantera”,”title”:”Pantera”,”description”:”Pantera was arguably the most important heavy metal band of the 1990s — becoming a major commercial force in spite of a hostile alternative rock climate that laid low some of metal’s all-time biggest bands, to say nothing of the once dominant hair metal scene. With period-defining albums like ‘Cowboys from Hell’ and ‘Vulgar Display of Power,’ Pantera established the so-called groove metal sub-genre and even reinvented themselves from a previous 1980s existence that many of their fans weren’t even aware of, for some time. But Pantera, which was founded in 1981 by guitar-and-drum-playing brothers Darrell (a.k.a. Diamond or Dimebag Darrell) and Vinnie Paul Abbott, with bassist Rex Brown and singer Terrence Lee Glaze, had actually recorded three albums of run-of-the-mill hair metal for their own independent label, to no success. Not until they replaced Glaze with New Orleans-based vocalist Philip Anselmo, and began toughening up their sound for 1988’s ‘Power Metal’ album, did Pantera’s fortunes start turning around, leading to the creative and commercial breakthrough of 1990’s major label debut, ‘Cowboys from Hell.’ This, along with the aforementioned ‘Vulgar Display of Power,’ effectively established Pantera’s muscular groove metal blueprint, based around Dimebag Darrell’s devastating guitar technique and Anselmo’s versatile vocals. As a result 1994’s ‘Far Beyond Driven’ shot straight to number one on the U.S. charts and transformed Pantera into one of the world’s biggest heavy metal touring acts. But growing tensions within the group began chipping away at their momentum, despite strong sales for ensuing albums like 1996’s ‘The Great Southern Trendkill’ and 2000’s ‘Reinventing the Steel,’ and by 2003, Pantera had officially broken up. Anselmo turned his attention to Down and Superjoint Ritual, the Abbott brothers launched a new group named Damageplan, and their war of worlds escalated until Dimebag was stunning murdered on stage by a deranged man, on December 8, 2004. Since the tragedy, relations between Pantera’s surviving members have remained testy, at best, with Anselmo continuing to pursue multiple musical projects, Vinnie Paul chiefly committed to Hellyeah, and Rex Brown splitting his time between Down, Kill Devil Hill and penning his Pantera-centric autobiography in 2013.”,”post_count”:595,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/pantera/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/pantera/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:495,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:758,”slug”:”rammstein”,”title”:”Rammstein”,”description”:””,”post_count”:227,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/rammstein/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/rammstein/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:767,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:500,”slug”:”slayer”,”title”:”Slayer”,”description”:”Widely regarded as the ultimate thrash metal band, Slayer did much to introduce and establish the genre throughout the 1980s, alongside fellow Los Angeles natives Metal-lica and Megadeth, and New York’s Anthrax — collectively known as the Big Four. As the most extreme and lyrically controversial member of that exclusive musical club, Slayer at first attracted a relatively modest (but devout) fan base until breaking through to a broader audience with their monumental third album, 1986’s ‘Reign in Blood.’ The band proceeded to consolidate its dominant place in the heavy metal pantheon over the second half of that decade; and, unlike most peers, refused to alter its core sound throughout the more challenging 1990s. As the third millennium dawned, Slayer read-mitted original drummer Dave Lombardo and enjoyed a renewed period of recording and touring prosperity, leading up to 2013 and the drummer’s latest departure, just months prior to the shocking death of founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman. Nevertheless, remaining founding members, Kerry King (guitar) and Tom Araya (vocals/bass) show no signs of retiring Slayer, which is now rounded out by former Exodus guitarist Gary Holt and returning drummer Paul Bostaph.”,”post_count”:673,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slayer/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slayer/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:509,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:476,”slug”:”slipknot”,”title”:”Slipknot”,”description”:”Like Kiss before them, only to the tune of nine band members, instead of four, Slipknot adopted frightening disguises to infuse their already overpowering music with additional layers of theatrical excess. Emerging out of the unlikely rock star breeding grounds of Des Moines, Iowa during the middle 1990s, Slipknot signed to Roadrunner Records and leveraged a shockingly abrasive eponymous album with show-stealing Ozzfest performances (both in 1999) to state there case for stardom. Initially seen as one of the key bands in the nu-metal movement, Slipknot successfully transcended the style when it fell out of commercial favor and went on to enjoy prolonged success into the third millennium, thanks to a punishing global touring regimen and subsequent albums like 2001’s ‘Iowa,’ 2004’s ‘Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), and 2008’s ‘All Hope is Gone.’ Two year later tragedy struck when band founder and bassist Paul Gray succumbed to a drug overdose, and another key founding member, drummer Joey Jordison, parted ways with the group in December of 2013, but Slipknot have continued on, releasing the new album ‘.5: The Gray Chapter’ in 2014.”,”post_count”:1425,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slipknot/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slipknot/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:485,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:431,”slug”:”trivium”,”title”:”Trivium”,”description”:””,”post_count”:249,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/trivium/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/trivium/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:438,”object_id”:431839}],”categories”:[{“id”:5476,”slug”:”galleries”,”title”:”Galleries”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:1316,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/galleries/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/galleries/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:2812,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:13,”slug”:”lists”,”title”:”Lists”,”description”:”Rock lists.”,”parent”:0,”post_count”:2084,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/lists/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/lists/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:13,”object_id”:431839},{“id”:1560,”slug”:”metal”,”title”:”Metal”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:24818,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1571,”object_id”:431839}],”authors”:[{“id”:1420122,”slug”:”joedivita”,”name”:”Joe DiVita”,”first_name”:”Joe”,”last_name”:”DiVita”,”nickname”:”joedivita”,”description”:”Joe is Loudwire’s Editor-In-Chief since 2024 and started as a freelancer with the site in 2013.
