The cover of every official Iron Maiden album has featured a zombie called 'Eddie.' Eddie has been painted by artist Derek Riggs for 20 years. Numbers From The Beast cover art was naturally painted by Riggs and is a must-have for any Maiden fan.
Numbers From the Beast marks the first release on the newly revamped Restless Records. William Hein, current president of Rykodisc and former head of Enigma Records, co-founded Restless in 1985 as a punk and metal sub-label of Enigma. Restless became a stand-alone label after Capitol-EMI acquired Enigma, and was subsequently acquired by Rykodisc in 2003. Now, back with a new sound and logo, Restless returns to its roots with the Maiden salute, as well as an upcoming reissue from California punk outfit 45 Grave.
