Maiden America (1999)

Maiden America (1999)
Iron Maiden Tribute & American Metal Compilation

Some of earlier Iron Maiden tribute album based on geography of the band. This is United States version of Iron Maiden back in 1999. The compilation led by Pharaoh, whom would later become quite success in their career. They cover Aces High. They will later recorded another song 'Revelations' for Slave to The Power album. Unfortunately most of bands following did not rise to more fame. Murders In The Rue Morgue by Omen is another decent track which comes in with interesting intro. Burning Inside covered of Genghis Khan is also enjoyable version and the drum works is somehow extremely fast.

On CD 2, it is a compilation of original song by each band. On this take, most of band come with their best song and make it to a good selection of song. Perhaps this is a better exposure for each band using Iron Maiden fame as their support marketting value. Rate 2.5/5 for this package.
