- The Number of the Beast is the third studio album by Iron Maiden.

This was the debut of vocalist Bruce Dickinson in Iron Maiden. It has been cited as one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time, and is widely acknowledged as one of the best and most iconic albums of the genre. The Number of the Beast also cemented Iron Maiden as one of "the biggest metal bands on the planet".
- I remember when I first saw Iron Maiden albums, sitting on a shelf during a sale. That same day I saw a copy of Houses Of The Holy with neat, Tokien-esque cover art. The Iron Maiden CD's stood out because they looked like the kind of music I'd never listen to, what with those creepy pictures of this demon looking creature. Still, I heard "2 Minutes To Midnight" some time after and thought it was pretty good, so I picked up The Number Of The Beast. The ten dollar price tag helped as well.
- "The Number of the Beast" is a song by Iron Maiden which is based on the movie Damien: Omen II. Before the music starts, this opens with an a cappella quote from The Book of Revelation. The band wanted the horror film actor Vincent Price to read this intro, but he wanted more money than they were willing to pay (a year later, Price lent his voice to Michael Jackson's "Thriller"). The quote was read by an unknown thespian actor who had no interest in the band. (thanks, Jeff - Haltom City, TX, for above 2) Steve Harris: "Basically, this song is about a dream. It's not about devil worship."
