High-res Iron Maiden albums go live exclusively on OnkyoMusic

The 19 albums include all 15 of the band’s studio albums, two Best Of compilations and two live albums, all of which have been selected by Steve Harris, Iron Maiden’s founding member.

The OnkyoMusic store launched in Japan 10 years ago and was finally brought to the UK, US and Germany in 2015, in a partnership with 7digital.

Steve Harris said: "The high-res mastering procedure allows the listener to experience the music as close as possible to the way the artist intended it to be heard. So of course I was very keen for the Maiden albums to be mastered in this way."

"The result of this is that the songs now sound more defined with added depth and warmth."

But being the wonderful English guy he is, he helps out with content across a number of Future sites, including What Hi-Fi?. It wouldn't be his first exposure to the world of all things hi-fi and home cinema, as his first role in technology journalism was with What Hi-Fi? in the UK. Clearly he pined to return after making the move to Australia and the team have welcomed him back with arms wide open.
