Heavy metal

Iron Maiden is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Wishbone Ash, Helloween, DIR EN GREY, Charlie and Kat. Those roots explain a lot about how Iron Maiden arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Helloween, Metallica, Manowar, Ozzy Osbourne and Blaze Bayley, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Praying Mantis, Quiet Riot, Sum 41, Funeral for a Friend and Coheed and Cambria, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 213 connections around Iron Maiden, reaching back through Wishbone Ash and forward to Praying Mantis.
