Album Notes & Community Reviews
Marking Bruce Dickinson's final studio album before a lengthy hiatus, 'Fear of the Dark' balances the band's traditional galloping heavy metal with an increasingly dark, hard rock edge. The record is driven by incredibly energetic, melodic riffing and explores anxious, nocturnal themes centered on fear and death.
