Sanctuary by Iron Maiden (1980)




I was never a fan of Iron Maiden's signature sound that was born in the early 80's  realized with Bruce Dickinson's vocal histrionics. As a result, I managed to avoid Iron Maiden for years. At some point, I heard some of their early work with lead singer Paul Di'Anno. This was much more interesting to me.

It's unfortunate that Paul was more into cocaine than the music, though. He was replaced in 1981 by the aforementioned Bruce Dickinson.

This track, Sanctuary, was from those early days, and has a distinctly different sound than what would later develop.
