London, United Kingdom (1975 – present)
There are multiple artists with this name:
1) Iron Maiden is a New Wave of British Heavy Metal or nwobhm band from the United Kingdom. They formed in London, 1975 by bassist Steve Harris, they are one of the most successful and influential bands in the heavy metal genre, selling over 80 million albums worldwide. The band has so far released fourteen studio albums, four “best of” compilations, nine live albums and four limited boxed-sets. They have also won the Ivor Novello Award for international achievement in 2000.
The band has changed their line-up several times up to 1999 when Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith returned to the band. Their current line-up is:
Steve Harris (1975-): Bass
David Michael Murray (1975-): Guitar
Paul Bruce Dickinson (1981-1993 1999-): Vocals (see also Bruce Dickinson, Samson)

Janick Gers (1990-): Guitar (see also Bruce Dickinson, White Spirit)
Adrian Smith (1980-1990 1999-): Guitar (see also Bruce Dickinson and Psycho Motel)
Iron Maiden’s work has inspired other sub-genres of heavy metal, including power metal and speed metal, and is generally thought of as an influence to any “metal” music containing dual-guitar harmonization. One example of their far reaching influence is that many bands from virtually every rock and metal sub-genre list Iron Maiden as one of their influences.
