Bruce Dickinson – Accident Of Birth (Remastered Yellow & Red Splatter Vinyl)

When Bruce Dickinson stepped away from Iron Maiden during the 1990s, few expected him to deliver one of the strongest albums of his entire career. Released in 1997, Accident Of Birth marked a creative rebirth, pairing Dickinson with future Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith and producing a modern heavy metal classic packed with power, melody and dark storytelling.

From the blistering opener “Freak” through to epics such as “Darkside Of Aquarius” and the title track “Accident Of Birth”, the album showcases Dickinson at his absolute best. Combining traditional heavy metal, progressive elements and unforgettable vocal performances, this record is widely regarded as one of the essential releases in Bruce’s solo catalogue.
