Heavy metal fan? Do you prefer vinyl to other formats? You're in luck come this Fall. Iron Maiden has announced that it will be rereleasing all of its '80s albums on 180-gram vinyl, including the classic Live After Death performance album. Considering that the busy band put out seven albums during the decade, that's a lot for one metalhead to take in. 

The rereleases don't stop at the full-lengths however. The band will also release all of its singles from the era on individual 7" records as well. Better start saving up if you plan on purchasing the whole shebang. Fortunately, the band has slated the series out for three separate release dates so that you can recoup your losses in between album drops. 

Check it out: 

October 14:

Iron Maiden, Killers, and The Number of The Beast 

Singles: "Running Free," "Sanctuary," "Women in Uniform," "Wrathchild/Purgatory," "Run To The Hills" and "The Number of The Beast."
