The album was recorded on magnetic (analogue) tape.\nTheir second studio release since the return of vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith in 1999, the album features the band's first ever fully acoustic track, \"Journeyman\", as well as their only song co-written by drummer Nicko McBrain, \"New Frontier\". As with its predecessor, 2000's Brave New World, the record was produced by Kevin Shirley, who has worked with Iron Maiden on all subsequent releases.","strDescriptionDE":"Dance of Death (engl. für: „Tanz des Todes”) ist das 13. Studioalbum der britischen Heavy Metal-Band Iron Maiden. Das Album wurde am 8. September 2003 via EMI veröffentlicht.\nErstmals beteiligte sich der Schlagzeuger Nicko McBrain am Songwriting. Zusammen mit Bruce Dickinson und Adrian Smith schrieb er das Lied New Frontier. Sämtliche Keyboards wurden von Steve Harris eingespielt. Mit Journeyman enthält Dance of Death das erste rein akustische Lied der Bandgeschichte.\nDas Cover wurde von David Patchett entworfen. Patchett wurde bekannt für seine Cover für die Band Cathedral. Der erste Entwurf zeigte Eddie als Sensenmann mit vier Mönchen im Hintergrund. Um dem Cover etwas Pep zu verleihen, beauftragte Rod Smallwood, der Manager der Band, einen Mitarbeiter von ironmaiden.com, die Charaktere um Eddie herum auszuarbeiten. Der Entwurf wurde an Patchett zurückgesandt. Da dieser mit dem Resultat nicht zufrieden war, bat er darum, nicht im Booklet erwähnt zu werden. Als das Cover im Internet veröffentlicht wurde dachten viele Fans, dass die Band ihnen einen Streich spielen wollte. Das Coverartwork sorgte für eine Kontroverse unter Maiden-Fans.","strDescriptionFR":"Dance of Death est le treizième album studio du groupe de heavy metal britannique Iron Maiden sorti le 8 septembre 2003.\n\nCe second album avec Bruce Dickinson, après l'intermède Blaze Bayley, a connu un grand succès (seconde place des charts britanniques) comme aux plus belles heures des années 1980. Cet album marque un nouveau changement dans la musique du groupe : en effet le style très recherché, voire progressif, est plébiscité par le Heavy Metal pur et dur. Le groupe décrira l'album comme épique car il aborde des thèmes complexes comme la place de l'Homme dans le monde (dans Gate of Tomorrow et Face in the Sand), Dieu (dans la chanson New Frontier), l'Histoire et la guerre dans le titre Paschendale qui décrit l'enfer des tranchées lors de la première guerre mondiale. La chanson Montsegur fait référence au célèbre château Cathare.\n\nUn album live, Death on the Road a été publié suite à la tournée entamée après la sortie de cet album. Pendant la chanson Dance of Death Bruce portait des masques de théâtre et une cape tout en dansant autour de la scène. À la fin, il était habillé comme La Grande Faucheuse pour le refrain final. Déguisement qu'il réutilisera dans la tournée suivante sur The Trooper.\n\nPour la première fois, le batteur Nicko McBrain est crédité pour des paroles d'une chanson avec New Frontier.\n\nLe titre fait référence à la danse macabre, thème artistique chrétien du Moyen Âge sur la mort.","strDescriptionCN":null,"strDescriptionIT":null,"strDescriptionJP":null,"strDescriptionRU":null,"strDescriptionES":"Dance of death es el decimotercer álbum de estudio de la banda británica Iron Maiden lanzado el 8 de septiembre de 2003\n\nEste álbum marca la primera participación en composición por Nicko McBrain, quien co-escribió la canción «New Frontier» y también es la primera (y única vez hasta ahora) en la que todos los miembros de la banda obtienen crédito por composición de letras. El mensaje habitual de la banda en cada álbum (una variante de la línea \"Up the Irons!\") está ausente también. A veces se dice erróneamente que Steve Harris realiza todas las partes de teclado en el álbum y no se da crédito al colaborador habitual de la banda Michael Kenney, pero esto es en realidad debido a un descuido en la impresión del álbum.\n\nEl «Dance of Death World Tour» fue la gira soporte del álbum. Dance of Death trae una vez más trajes al escenario en el show. Durante Dance of Death, Bruce Dickinson usa máscaras de teatro y una capa mientras se mueve alrededor del escenario, al final se viste como el austero segador para el coro final. Durante la canción «Paschendale», Dickinson a veces usa el desgastado traje tradicional británico de infantería, traje usado durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y actúa su muerte en el escenario durante la canción.\n\nEl título del álbum se refiere a una alegoría del medioevo tardío sobre la universalidad de la muerte: No importa la posición de uno en la vida, la Danza de la Muerte une a todos. Esta imagen es también conocida como danza macabra.","strDescriptionPT":"Dance of Death é o décimo terceiro álbum de estúdio da banda britânica de heavy metal Iron Maiden. Lançado em 8 de setembro de 2003, alcançou a segunda posição entre os mais vendidos do Reino Unido. Trata-se de um trabalho de estúdio que conta com onze músicas. É o segundo álbum com a formação em sexteto, e possui a primeira faixa de estúdio composta pelo baterista Nicko McBrain, \"New Frontier\". O nome do álbum vem da alegoria da Danse Macabre, a respeito da universalidade da morte.\n\nA capa do álbum foi produzida por David Patchett (conhecido pelas capas da banda Cathedral). Patchett inicialmente desenhou o Eddie-ceifador e os monges que o cercam, mas o empresário Rod Smallwood achou a arte vazia, e então pediu a um artista digital criar as figuras dançantes que o cercam. Smallwood então encaminhou para Patchett trabalhar nas texturas - e ele o fez, mas ficou insatisfeito e pediu para não ser creditado.\n\nA música, título do álbum, é considerada uma das melhores da banda. Um legítimo hino do Heavy Metal.","strDescriptionSE":null,"strDescriptionNL":null,"strDescriptionHU":null,"strDescriptionNO":null,"strDescriptionIL":null,"strDescriptionPL":null,"intLoved":null,"intScore":"7","intScoreVotes":"1","intPopularity":null,"strReview":"There's a very good case to be argued that a review of the latest Maiden album is a redundant exercise. Fans of the band (and they number in the millions) will adore it. The rest of us will just shrug our shoulders and make the odd Spinal Tap joke. Yet, while there's no denying the oft-comical aspects of all things heavy and metallic only the most hard-hearted of critics could deny the quality of their latest offering.\nDance Of Death is, appropriately enough, the band's thirteenth (woah...spooky) studio album and more than justifies their longevity. Always a band with a fearsome live reputation, this outing finds them playing at the top of their game and bringing a fair amount of that live prowess into the studio. Producer Kevin Shirley has spoken of them as being 'the last of the naturally moving rock bands', and DOD seems to bear this out. The whole thing has an almost organic feel to it with the rhythm section of drummer Niko McBrain (crazy name, dude) and bass player (and main writer) Steve Harris providing a rock solid backing for the three (count 'em) guitarist's fretboard fury, and Bruce Dickinsons operatic yowls.\nLest it be forgotten, this band have now been around, in one form or another, since 1976. Once considered the young pups of NWOBHM, Maiden now show youngsters how it's done. Dickinson has never sounded better (maybe his day job as a BBC DJ is good for the vocal chords?) and relative new boy Janick Gers (only with the band for thirteen years!) seems intent on cramming in as many wild solos as he can muster. From McBrain's count in on ''Wildest Dreams'' to the last poignant chords of ''Journeyman'', DOD displays a rude energy that would shame the Darkness.\nSong lyrics reflect the overall epic feel. War (''Paschendale''), religious martyrdom (''Montsegur'') and, of course, death and horror (''Dance Of Death'') all get the Maiden treatment. The only real lowpoint comes with ''Age Of Innocence'' whose lyrics seem ripped directly from the letters page of the Daily Express.\nNo matter. Maiden have always survived by ignoring fickle fashion and giving their loyal minions exactly what they want; all wrapped in the obligatory cover featuring deaths head mascot, Eddie. With Dance Of Death they won't have one dissatisfied customer.","strMood":"Energetic","strTheme":"","strSpeed":"Medium","strLocation":null,"strMusicBrainzID":"3bbfa3e4-dfbc-31f2-93d8-86f109d5158c","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"ca891d65-d9b0-4258-89f7-e6ba29d83767","strAllMusicID":"mw0000598895","strBBCReviewID":"34f9","strRateYourMusicID":"dance_of_death","strDiscogsID":"21512","strWikidataID":"Q721945","strWikipediaID":"Dance_of_Death_(album)","strGeniusID":null,"strLyricWikiID":null,"strMusicMozID":null,"strItunesID":null,"strAmazonID":null,"strUPCID":null,"strSpotifyID":null,"strLocked":"unlocked","intChecked":"1"}]}
