Killers is the second studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It was first released on 2 February 1981 in the United Kingdom by EMI Records and on 6 June in the United States by Harvest and Capitol Records.

Killers is the sophomore album by British metal band Iron Maiden, originally released in 1981. The album was their first with guitarist Adrian Smith (beginning an iconic guitar partnership with Dave Murray that endures to this day), as well as being their last with vocalist Paul Di’Anno.

This was also the first Iron Maiden album made with veteran producer Martin Birch (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Rainbow), who went on to produce their next eight albums before retiring after ‘Fear of the Dark’ in 1992.

Maiden founding member and bassist Steve Harris says, “We’ve wanted to revisit these for a long time and I was delighted with the remastering we did in 2015. I thought it was the best that our albums have ever sounded”
