🎨 EDDIE GETS ARTSY!
Iron Maiden Drop New Colouring Book To Mark 50 Years Of Metal Madness 🦇🤘
Put your crayons in the air, butt! 🖍️ Iron Maiden are celebrating 50 years of headbanging history in a way only they could — by letting fans colour the darkness themselves! That’s right, The Official Iron Maiden Colouring Book Volume III has just been announced, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most metal art books ever printed.
⚡ THE BEAST RETURNS… IN BLACK & WHITE
Following the roaring success of Volumes I & II, this third instalment dives deeper into Maiden’s universe — with album covers, tour posters, and epic Eddies from across five decades of pure British steel. From the sands of Powerslave to the dystopian skyline of Somewhere In Time, and all the way to the fiery pits of The Number of the Beast — every page is a scream-worthy tribute to the band that redefined heavy metal.
Each illustration has been lovingly created by Rock N’ Roll Colouring, the same gang of legends behind the official Ozzy, Motörhead, and AC/DC colouring books. These are no kiddie doodles either — we’re talking proper, high-quality line art, tailor-made for pens, pencils, or even beer-stained Sharpies. 🍺
🩸 50 YEARS OF EDDIE
To mark Maiden’s half-century milestone, Volume III will feature:
🎨 New illustrations inspired by the band’s Future Past tour
⚔️ Classic Eddie incarnations from every era
🔥 Iconic album art from 1980 to today
👹 Hidden details and Easter eggs that only true fans will spot
This isn’t just a colouring book — it’s a love letter to metal. A journey through every riff, roar, and blood-splattered battlefield Iron Maiden have conquered since 1975.
🕹️ NOSTALGIA LEVEL: ULTRA
Remember when you first saw Eddie grinning at you from the record shop wall? That mix of terror and awe that made you a Maiden fan for life? Now you can relive it — but this time, you’re holding the pencil.
It’s oddly relaxing too. You can sit there, colouring in Flight of Icarus while Aces High blasts in the background, pretending you’re Steve Harris designing the next album sleeve. Lush!
🏴 ONLY IN WALES, MUN…
We can already picture a few Welsh pubs turning this into a drinking game:
“Colour Eddie’s eyes red for every pint you finish!”
Don’t tempt us.
🕰️ RELEASE DETAILS

🩶 FINAL THOUGHTS
Iron Maiden aren’t just celebrating 50 years — they’re reminding us that heavy metal isn’t just heard… it’s drawn, lived, and worshipped.
So, go on — grab your pencils, whack on Run to the Hills, and let your creativity run wild. Because nothing says “up the Irons” like colouring Eddie’s blood-red grin while sipping a cuppa. ☕⚔️
Up the crayons. Up the Irons. Up the fans.
Tidy job, that. Diolch, Maiden! 🏴🤘
