Paul Andrews, better known by his stage name Paul Di'Anno, was a singer from England.
He is best remembered as the first vocalist for the English heavy metal group Iron Maiden.
He provided vocals for the albums Iron Maiden [1980] and Killers [1981].
Amid the social strife of 1970s Britain emerged NWOBHM, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. New bands from ordinary British towns and suburbs like Iron Maiden, Def Leppard; Saxon, and Girlschool changed the face of amplified music and created a musical and cultural revolution. This is the story of Heavy Metal Kingdom.
This documentary is a considered look at the continuing story of Metal, in the words of the people that make it, live it, breathe it and keep it vital. The Bands. The Fans, The Producers, The Industry and The Journalists. What makes it tick, why nothing else can touch it for power, emotion and longevity, why it's misunderstood, why it doesn't care, how it continues to upset the establishment, how it manipulates the media, the positivity, and the way it has forced it's iconography and ethos deep into an unsuspecting and unwilling mainstream.
