Semi-legendary of the early days for Iron Maiden front-man jobs on the shoulders of this man born of Chingford, London as Paul Andrews or being well known over the entire Heavy Metal scene as Paul Di’Anno for quite not long terms before he’d being kick-out the legendary iconic band but never surrender to then, brought his own style of operatic and symphonic Heavy Metal super-power attitude for counting the days just like everyone would keep knowing him as a metallic ex-martyr turning to a travelling rockers of his own realm and musical sounds with mostly, fantasy and horror tales background themes just like this latter releasing for the millennium or compilation of more powerful vocals, out-takes and remixed materials from his previous album.

Very good live release by those British with an interesting lineup and a collection of songs of PRAYING MANTIS, IRON MAIDEN & LIONHEART ! It features Paul Di'Anno & Dennis Stratton, and half of it is old Maiden tunes. They sound like they’re having a lot of fun, and the performance is dead-on with lots of energy. It sounds as though someone is singing out of tune at times, but that dissonance adds character.

Stormtroopers of Death, more commonly known as S.O.D., was a crossover thrash band formed in New York in 1985. They are commonly credited as being among the first bands to fuse hardcore punk with thrash metal into a style sometimes called "crossover thrash". Bigger than the Devil is their third release. Its cover design is based on Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast and its title is a play of words on the Beatles member John Lennon proclaiming the Beatles were "bigger (more popular) than Jesus Christ".

As one of the most influential bass players in heavy metal, it should come as no surprise that Iron Maiden's Steve Harris' instantly recognizable galloping eighth notes ride high in the mix on his first ever solo outing. British Lion, which was originally the name of the band that Harris and some non-Maiden mates formed in the early '90s to tear through some sword and sorcery-less, dive bar-ready hard rock in the vein of UFO, Deep Purple, and the Scorpions, sounds exactly like its influences would suggest. Toss in a little Rainbow, Whitesnake, Judas Priest, and a tiny smattering of his meal-ticket band and you've got a serviceable slab of unpretentious yet utterly forgettable '80s retro-metal that adheres to every cliché in the book – which is forgivable, as it was brought into this world by one of that book's authors.

It's hard to believe, but 1991's Predator in Disguise was only the second full-length album from New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) veterans Praying Mantis. The band's first album was released a decade earlier, but soon after most of the band members went their separate ways before finally coming together in the early 90's, this time with former Iron Maiden member Dennis Stratton on vocals.

Welcome to the World is the second and final Psycho Motel album, released in 1997. It features a different vocalist from the band's first album, 1995's State of Mind. In place of Hans Olav Solli is Andy Makin, whose "dark lyrics and distinctive vocal delivery" differentiate the album from its predecessor. It also features Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy and Dave Murray of Iron Maiden as guest guitarists. In 2006, Welcome to the World was re-released with two bonus tracks. These tracks contain Solli from the first album on vocals, and were probably recorded just before he left the band in 1997.
