Not the legendary wrinkly rockers, but an earlier band from Basildon. Recorded between 1969 and 1970, this - their debut album, is a classic piece of early doom metal progression featuring the spine chilling guitar of Trevor Thoms. Also includes the (at the time) longest single ever and two tracks by Bum!

A welcome reissue. Not the Iron Maiden, but a much more obscure and earlier outfit with the same name. The 'A' side to their sole 45 is a brilliant lengthy guitar-led piece with a solo well beyond the length of a 1970 single.They were known as Burn up until January 1970 and in March of the same year they toured Australia.

To everyone who is confused, this is not the famous iron maiden band with steve harris and it has no relation to that band at all. This album was made in either 1969 or 1970 and it is one of the best rock albums I have ever heard. It's mostly hard rock but it's got a little bit of psychedelic and doomy stuff too. It kind of reminds me of early Black Sabbath, led zeppelin, the who and stuff like that. It's a shame that these guys didn't get famous, if they didn't break up so soon then they would have been big in the seventies. It's got some great little jams in some of the songs and the singing is great too. [Amazon.com]
