In den USA erreichte das Album Platz 19. 2005 erhielten Iron Maiden für das Album in Deutschland zudem eine Goldene Schallplatte.

Die Alben der Reihe The Studio Collection – Remastered ersetzen den bisher erhältlichen Katalog der Studioalben. Als Bonus für den Sammler, ist jeweils eine CD pro Veröffentlichungs-Schub optional in einem speziellen Artwork-Design mit einer Modell-Figur im Maßstab 1: 24 und einem exklusiven Patch erhältlich. In dieser letzten Reihe ist es A Matter Of Life And Death.

"Mit Dance Of Death ist es eigentlich recht einfach, da waren sich auch die meisten Kritiker einig. Iron Maiden liefern ein Album ab, das schlicht und einfach gut ist. Es ist in der Diskographie vielleicht nicht das beste Album der Band, aber bei weitem auch nicht das schlechteste. Was wieder auffällt, ist die auffällige Orchestrierung und der, aus meiner Sicht, komplexe Aufbau vieler Songs. Neben vielen eingängigen Passagen berührt die Band immer wieder den Bereich Prog-Metal/Symphonic-Metal. Dance Of Death einfach ein gut gelungenes Album. Schade ist nur, dass der Spannungsbogen nach Paschendale deutlich abflacht." (ezensator.de)

Iron Maiden
was formed in the year 1976 by bassist Steve Harris. They released their first album in 1980 as a five piece band with Paul Di’Anno on vocals. Later, Bruce Dickinson replaced him in 1981. With several line-up changes Steve Harris would remain the only original member never to have had a hiatus. When Bruce Dickinson quit in 1994 and was replaced by Wolfsbane’s Blaze Bayley, the band lost a lot of their fanbase. They recorded two albums with Blaze before Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith returned to the fold for 2000’s “Brave New World”, and 2003’s “Dance of Death”, making them a six-piece. As of 1999 the line-up hasn’t changed. Here’s the biography of this popular band.

Known for such powerful hits as “Two Minutes to Midnight” and “The Trooper,” Iron Maiden were and are one of the most influential bands of the heavy metal genre. The often-imitated band has existed for over nearly four decades, pumping out wild rock similar to Judas Priest. Iron Maiden have always been an underground attraction; although failing to ever obtain any real media attention in the U.S. (critics claimed them to be Satanists due to their dark musical themes and their use of grim mascot “Eddie”), they still became well-known throughout the world and have remained consistently popular throughout their career. Iron Maiden were one of the first groups to be classified as “British metal,” and, along with Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and a host of other bands, set the rock scene for the ’80s.
