Just as darkness brings fear of the unknown, Iron Studios proudly brings its first piece inspired by the album art of one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time: the "Fear of the Dark Eddie" Iron Maiden statue, featuring the eerie zombie mascot of the legendary band inspired by the cover of their ninth studio album. Eddie, also known as Eddie the Head, is the mascot of the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden.
He is a permanent fixture in the band 's artwork, appearing on all their album covers, singles, and marketing products including t-shirts, posters, and action figures. Eddie is a special presence at all the band's shows and is the main character in the first-person shooter video game Ed Hunter, the RPG Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast, and a 2018 pinball game. His origin stems from a papier-mâché mask used on the band 's early stage backdrops.
