IRON MAIDEN - From Here To Eternity 12" Vinyl LP Album

- Includes Fold-Out PosterBag

 "From Here to Eternity" is the second single from the Iron Maiden album Fear of the Dark, released in 1992. The song is the fourth and most recent song in the ongoing saga of "Charlotte the Harlot" (other songs include "Charlotte the Harlot," "22 Acacia Avenue," and "Hooks in You", although the status of the last song is a point of debate among fans since it doesn't actually mention "Charlotte", just "the keys to a view at number 22"). The songs tells the tale of Charlotte going on a fateful motorcycle ride with the Devil.

From Here to Eternity: Maiden Expeditions on Vinyl Album Description:

In the year 1992, amidst a changing sonic landscape, Iron Maiden emerged with a new sonic weapon: "From Here to Eternity" on glorious 12-inch vinyl. This wasn't just a single, it was a battle cry, a fist raised against the tide. Unfold the poster bag, gaze upon the warriors of Maiden, and prepare for aural conquest!

This release marked a turning point. The galloping riffs that forged their legend remained, but a newfound melodic exploration simmered beneath. "From Here to Eternity," the title track, roared with Bruce Dickinson's soaring vocals, a tale of a fateful ride etched in heavy metal glory. Yet, whispers of a maturing sound echoed in the harmonies and intricate guitar work.

Critics, ever fickle beasts, brandished accusations of a "softer" Maiden. But the loyal legions knew better. This was Maiden, evolved, not diluted. The spirit of rebellion burned bright, channeled through innovative songwriting and Steve Harris's thundering bass.

Martin Birch, the production maestro behind classic Maiden albums, returned to the helm alongside Steve Harris. Together, they sculpted a soundscape that was both familiar and refreshingly different. Guitarists Adrian Smith and Dave Murray unleashed a blistering storm, while Nicko McBrain's drums pounded a relentless war rhythm.

Recorded in the hallowed halls of Sarm West Studios in London, "From Here to Eternity" captured the raw energy of the band. No frills, no gimmicks, just pure, unadulterated Iron Maiden. This 12-inch vinyl isn't just a record, it's a time capsule, transporting you back to a pivotal moment in heavy metal history. So crank up the volume, unleash the fury, and experience Maiden's sonic expedition into eternity!

  • Bruce Dickinson vocals
  • Bruce Dickinson – Singer

    Samson forged the roar; Iron Maiden turned it into a global alarm system.

    Bruce Dickinson, Bruce Dickinson is the rare frontman who can sound like a human air-raid siren and still tell a story. Before the arenas, I track him in Samson (1979–1981) , where the voice sharpened into steel. He joined Iron Maiden in 1981 and powered their classic run through 1993, then returned in 1999 and has stayed ever since. Between the big chapters he kept moving: a solo career from 1990 onward, plus the short, sharp Skunkworks detour in 1996. On stage he’s theatrical without slipping into pantomime—commanding, precise, and oddly disciplined for heavy metal. Timeline: Samson ’79–’81; Maiden ’81–’93 and ’99–now; solo from ’90; Skunkworks ’96. And yeah, never boring.

  • Dave Murray guitar
  • Dave Murray – Guitar

    Maiden’s calm killer: smooth leads, twin-guitar harmony for days, and that melodic bite that makes the “gallop” feel cinematic instead of chaotic.

    Dave Murray (born 23 December 1956, Edmonton, Middlesex, England) is one of the defining lead guitar voices of heavy metal, and in my book he’s the melodic “second spine” of Iron Maiden. His timeline with the band starts early: joining in 1976, getting briefly pushed out in 1977, then returning in 1978 and staying locked in ever since—making him one of the longest-serving members in the whole Maiden saga. During that 1977 gap he spent around six months with Urchin (Adrian Smith’s band), which is a fun little historical glitch in the matrix if you like your Maiden lore messy and human. Beyond the main band, his most notable “outside the mothership” credit is the all-star charity metal project Hear ’n Aid (1985), because apparently even guitar lifers sometimes leave the bunker to do side quests.

  • Janick Gers guitar, backing vocals
  • Janick Gers – Guitarist

    He swings that Strat like it owes him rent, and somehow every note lands.

    Janick Gers is the kind of guitarist who makes a stadium feel like a truly rowdy backroom, all elbows, grin, and ringing Stratocaster. I first clocked him in White Spirit (1975-1981), then in Ian Gillan's post-Purple outfit Gillan (1981-1982), where he learned how to punch riffs through real lungs. After a detour with the short-lived Gogmagog and a guest turn with Fish in 1990, he became Bruce Dickinson's right-hand man on "Tattooed Millionaire" (1990). Iron Maiden hired him in 1990; his first Maiden album was "No Prayer for the Dying" (1990), and when Adrian Smith returned in 1999, Janick stayed - so the band got three guitars and twice the sparks.

  • Steve Harris bass guitar, backing vocals
  • Steve Harris – Bass Guitar, Songwriter

    Iron Maiden’s engine room: galloping bass lines, history-nerd lyrics, and “captain of the ship” energy baked into every riff.

    Steve Harris (born 12 March 1956, Leytonstone, England) is the rare bassist who doesn’t just hold the floor—he draws the whole blueprint. In my book, he’s the founder and primary songwriter who’s kept Iron Maiden on its rails from 1975–present, with that instantly recognizable “gallop” driving huge chunks of the catalogue. The pre-Maiden grind matters too: first band days in Influence/Gypsy’s Kiss (1973–1974, including a documented gig run in 1974), then the older, blues-leaning Smiler period (1974–1975) where his more ambitious writing basically forced the next step: forming Maiden. Outside the mothership, he’s fronted his own hard-rock outlet British Lion (2012–present), a project that grew out of connections going back to the early 1990s and finally hit the world as his solo debut in 2012.

  • Nicko McBrain drums
  • Nicko McBrain – Drums Nicko McBrain, born 1952, is the powerhouse drummer who has driven Iron Maiden’s thunderous engine since joining in 1982. His playing combines brute force with swing and pinpoint timing, giving albums like The Number of the Beast and Powerslave their unstoppable momentum. Before Maiden, his work with Trust and the Pat Travers Band sharpened his style, culminating in a career that redefined metal drumming.
