Background
Virtual XI is the eleventh studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 23 March 1998. It is the band's second and final album with Blaze Bayley on vocals, as well as the final album as a five piece, as Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith would later return to the band, while Janick Gers who replaced Smith remained in the band. It also marks the first album to utilise a slightly modified logo, with the letters R, M, and N the same size as the other letters as opposed to them being extended. The band used the updated version of their logo for their next few albums; it was used until The Final Frontier, released in 2010.
