Three of Eagle Vision's acclaimed Classic Albums series are brought together in this box set. The in depth story of the creation of Metallica ('The Black Album') by Metallica, The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden and British Steel by Judas Priest featring interviews with the original band members, producers, engineers and managers and exclusive studio performance footage shot for the programmes.
Metallica - The Black Album: The story of the making of this remarkable album is told here via exclusive interviews, archive footage and performance, with contributions from producer Bob Rock, band members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Jason Newsted. We revisit the original multi-tracks of the album, as well as listen to previously unheard demo recordings.
Featuring the five singles from the album, Enter Sandman, Sad But True, The Unforgiven, Wherever I May Roam and Nothing Else Matters, this is the compelling story of one of the biggest selling albums of all time, a true classic album.
Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast: This Classic Album took Iron Maiden from early leaders of the UK Heavy Metal scene to a international superstar status and is still considered one of the greatest and most influental heavy metal albums of all time. You'll see and hear exclusive new and archive performances from Iron Maiden and get unique behind-the-scenes insight into the process of making one of the great metal albums of the time. Includes: Run to the Hills, The Number of the Beast, The Prisoner and more!
Judas Priest - British Steel: Had Judas Priest just released this one album, it would still go down in history. Full blown metallic sound, awesome solos, great lyrics, and god-like vocals: this album has it all. Released in 1980, British Steel opened the era of British Metal as we know it (and American metal consequently).
The welding of British Steel is told in this exclusive programme in the band's own words, and by their once long-term producer Tom Allom. Featuring archive footage, interviews and rare live performances, plus all of British Steel's finest songs; including 'Living After Midnight','Breaking The Law', 'Metal Gods', 'The Rage', 'United', and 'Grinder', this is compelling, witty and exhilerating look at the making of one of heavy metal's most artful creations, a true classic album.
