Maiden-influenced NWOTHM from the U.S. from 2020. The vocals and lyrics are the weak spot, though the singer isn’t bad. Some really nice guitar parts.

I seriously think this honor belongs to Rust in Peace.

It’s so remarkable. You had 3 seminal albums Killing /Peace Sells /So Far… which nearly defined a genre.
Then you had an out of this Planet album, Rust in Peace, probably the best of all time and a streak of another 3 classic albums.

So there you have it, @srfc Megadeth is the only other band with a streak of 7 classic albums except Maiden.

I have never rated Megadeth that much to be honest. I could never get past Mustaine’s grunting and snarling.

That being said, they were great live when I saw them supporting Maiden back in 1999.

The album is an eternal classic, but it has one weak song - ''Fight It Back''.

I think that Breaker/Restless and Wild/Balls to the Wall is a hat-trick as outstanding as The Number of the Beast/Piece of Mind/Powerslave.

Great albums, I like Metal Heart more than Restless And Wild, but Maiden's albums are better.

I don't think there is another band with 7 classic albums in a row.

I think you're pushing it a bit with Killing being a classic, and although I like Youthanasia and Cryptic Writings, they were past their best by that stage.

I've noticed that there are a lot of Maiden-influenced young bands nowadays. Some great song and good albums (as a whole piece, very rare), but I haven't heard yet a better Maiden-esque song than ''City Of Golden Gates''.
