Iron Maiden's Powerslave is not only one of the fans' favourite album music-wise, but is also the one to feature one of the most complicated and beloved album artwork covers. Designed once again by Derek Riggs Iron Maiden's Powerslave is full of jokes and hidden references planted throughout the artwork. In addition it helped Iron Maiden with its imagery on one of the most successful live tours - World Slavery Tour which to this day is considered one of the best the band ever had.

When I looked up “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”. I knew the poem that it was based on so I was intrigued by this mysterious metal band that had written a song about it. The album cover blew my mind before I even clicked on the video.

Nice video 😀 The "111" is, in my Egyptologist opinion, not "111", but probably three times the sign for "netjer" which means "gods", or three times the sign for "power" which is a vertical scepter with a curved head. So it's probably more something linked to the hieroglyphs themselves rather than 111 ;-)

When they were little, I used to show my kids my CD version of Powerslave and would tell them that this was my favorite Maiden album cover and how I loved all the tiny hidden messages. So, while still a kid my son bought me a vinyl version of Powerslave and gave it to me as birthday gift. I framed it and hung it on the wall.

The death of the LP was one of many tragedies, to come from the rise of digital music. There were several experiences lost such as, the conscious decisions that tied the layout, artwork, and liner notes tied to the music that were almost like an additional product that made the LP a "bonus" product. Being able open the sleeve up and study it while the LP is playing really was such a great experience.
2 жыл бұрын
Totaly agree! Another misgiving of digital music is that rarely anyone listens to all of the songs contained in an album. The complete set of songs and their order, plus the artwork and liner notes is what really makes up an album. It's a very complete experience.

7 is supposed to be a representation of godly perfection, 6 is a human number, falling short of perfection or godhood, 3x is used for emphasis, so 777 is the number of god, 666 is the number of the beast, 111 would be the difference, denoting Eddie's transcendence to godhood. Just a thought.

I purchased a poster of the Powerslave album front cover from a Fred Meyer's Department Store when I was 15 and taped it to my bedroom ceiling so I could see it everynight and morning from lying on my bed. Really cool fun art. Thank you for doing a video on it. My mom threw it away when I went to college. I did not notice any hidden meanings from it. For me there was enough mystery in the whole God/King/Egypt/Pharoah/Eternity/Pyramid "Slave to the Power of Death" thing that bringing additional or alternative meaning would have undermined what the song Powerslave was saying. Derek did a good job of furthering Iron Maiden's message and not subverting it which helps his reputation now.

My second favorite Maiden/Riggs album cover after Somewhere in Time (which I have on my wall above my desk - Two LP's put side by side to make the panorama!). I actually prefer the crisp and bright aesthetic to SiT as Mr. Riggs really captured the monumentality and desert bleakness that is so symbolic of Egypt in modern viewers. Powerslave is nothing less than an abrupt about-face for the dark tones of previous album covers, proving that a bright cover can still be just as badass as any Maiden cover.

In 1984 when the album came out. I was totally intrigued by the artwork but too young and too poor to take a risk on buying it. Somwhere in Time was the first one I bought new. After hearing it, I had to go back and get all the other albums, and the singles too (in part for the Derek Riggs artwork). Powerslave was the second album I bought. I got it in a used record shop for $3.00 USD. I still have it! By the way, I think Nassau is pronounced "Nas-saw" not "nuh-sow". At least that's how the pronounce the county in New York of the same name. I had to run that back like six times to know what you meant. Maybe insert a caption for that word. Up the Irons!

I fully agree with the premise. Powerslave remains my favorite album art of all time. The back part two. I have also the poster to have it bigger. I'm sure many of the hieroglyphs are not random and mean something too. Notice the 7 women shades in the back part. The one kneeling's shadow looks a scarab beetle, typical in ancient Egypt mythology; the 6 standing, well that's six overall shadows and 2 make fork shadows, the forks and 6 yet another common element...

And on the right side of the dancing girls on the back cover, over the first two steps is the sign with the 2 small circles, 1 big one and an arrow pointing down to a small straight line resembling a face with a screw on the forehead. This sign was in every Iron Maiden album from the first one and I was always trying to find it when I was buying a new album, so it might not refer to Eddie, since he hadn't the screws on his forehead before "Piece of mind" album.

The number 111 is actually a pretty funny reference, although deeply numerological, is translated as "reasoning reasoning reasoning," which is of course the reference to 666 the number of the beast, and the biblical quote, "let him who hath understanding recon the number of the beast," or which also means 'to reason' the number of the beast. One interesting note is that the Levites were not enslaved along with the rest of the Jews, but were employed as high priests of Pharoah, and like Moses, chose to join the rest of their brothers in the Exodus from Egypt. Therefore, much of the symbolism and numerology carved into the Egyptian tombs were of archetypal unison.

The numerical value of the word "good" in the Jewish alphabet is 111. Bruce Dickinson being a student of ocultism and hermeticism, it's highly likely Derick might have been no stranger to the topic. Gematria is an aspect of the Kabala that considers the numerical value of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet in words to determine the relationship of their qualities.

111 could refer to AA . For example : Always AA. = Don´t loose control - Don´t drink to much. - It hit me right away that a certain germen sportsmark also is like 111 - Up the irons - Support Brentford and the vikings and The Hammers - When U R blowing bobles ;-) 666 ;-) 13

Well, looking at the Hebrew way of writing the number 6 looks very close to a 1, so I think there you have your answer.

or it could be that 111 is not 111 but the Hebrew letter Vav that looks like 111 and is the 6't letter in the Hebrew Alphabet so this could be a Referenzen to the first album bruce Dickinson sing (number of the beast)

I ve heard, about the 111 number : it s a claim remanding at logo on wings of fascists aviation Italy of WWII, which it s ridiculous, cause I don't know someone more ENGLISH than maidens. And the hate between the two nations, at that time, it s notorious. And that's all

111 must be 666 written in Arabic numbers. update to answer some comments : by Arabic numbers, I don't mean the numbers we use in western countries and call "arabic numbers", but the digits used in Arabic languages. And as a coincidence, the 6 in Arabic looks similar to the 6 in Hebrew (but not the other digits)... But is it really a coincidence ?

666 are Arabic numbers. The Greeks used them already, when they translated the Bible into Greek from Aramaic. Probably the Aramaics used Arabic numbers or cifres already.
