Abstract

Those who have not followed the musical trajectory of the Britishgroup Iron Maiden ignore that, in addition to the great milestones of literature, realistic or metaphysical fictions and historical events of scope, cinema wasalways a capital source of inspiration for their lyrics. Framed in the variant ofthe New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), which emerged in theUnited Kingdom at the end of the 70s, the band will turn in 2020 forty yearsincluding in its albums what, due to its high level of creativity and production,they could be described as authentic “alternative soundtracks,” which to thisday continue to contribute to bringing cinema to the new generations, throughthe translation to their notes, and the brief novelization / versification, ofclassics and not so classics of all times, nationality, condition and gender,from "The name of the rose" to "Braveheart", from "Quest for fire" to"Forbidden planet". This work tries to compile, and to put in value, all thesongs of the group inspired by films, from their first record, the homonym "IronMaiden" (1980), to the last and most recent, "The book of souls" (2015).
