Somewhere in time
Hi everyone!, this is the Somewhere in Time's album cover , which is sixth studio album of the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, the illustrator is some guy called Derek Riggs, who was worked with Maiden in many times before this.I don't remember when was the first time i saw it, because it was many years ago , like 6 or 7, and when i saw it for first time i don´t gave it too much importance, but when i look at it more carefully i saw so many details that catch my attention, that's why i like it, because it is full of details and is so complex for understand for someone that doesn't like Maiden, it's like the Sgt. Pepper from The Beatles. I like how Derek Riggs use the complexity, and the space to full it of details. I was never see an album cover like these, except obviously for the Sgt. Pepper.
Let's talk about the details: the time in the watch is 23:58, it's mean 2 minutes to midnight, wich is a song of Iron Maiden. The three pyramids are a reference of the album Powerslave of Maiden. Tha naked winged man falling on fire a Icarus, it's a name of a song of Maiden.
There is so many details that better i give you a web page with all you have to know about this albun cover.
i'm a Iron Maiden fan and this album is very amazing!!!!! The best song of this album for me is Wasted Years! regards classmates!
