11 Best Iron Maiden Epics

8. Dance Of Death

A macabre masterpiece from the album of the same name, this Gers-Harris composition leans heavily into the baroque stylings suggested by the record's cover art, haunted with a particularly gothic air of quasi-folk menace.

It reemerged several years later as a live cornerstone on The Final Frontier World Tour, where its prog-inflicted leanings served as a suitably writ-large centerpiece for performances.
