Iron Maiden Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Christmas Ornament Eddie Brain Cyborg Design Holiday Decoration Lobotomy Head Heavy Metal Band Collectible Tree Ornament Gift For Metal Fans

This Iron Maiden Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Christmas Ornament featuring Eddie’s lobotomized brain cyborg design celebrates the band’s ambitious seventh studio album released April 11, 1988 in the UK by EMI Records, which peaked at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart and reached number 12 on the US Billboard 200, earning platinum certification in both territories and marking Iron Maiden’s first and only concept album telling the story of a clairvoyant seventh son born to a seventh son as chronicled in the title track written by bassist Steve Harris. The ornament showcases Derek Riggs’ haunting artwork depicting Eddie with his skull surgically opened and brain exposed with wires, tubes, and mechanical implants creating a disturbing cyborg appearance in pink and metallic tones, representing what artist Riggs described as Eddie having been “captured, operated on, and having his brain analyzed” which reflected the album’s themes about prophecy, destiny, and the battle between good and evil explored through tracks like “The Evil That Men Do,” “Can I Play with Madness,” and “The Clairvoyant.” This represents one of the final Eddie designs created by Riggs before his departure from Iron Maiden in 1990 after illustrating covers for the band’s first twelve years, with the Seventh Son album marking the peak of Iron Maiden’s progressive experimentation featuring elaborate keyboard arrangements from guitarist Adrian Smith and complex song structures influenced by Genesis, Yes, and other prog rock pioneers that bassist Harris admired. The supporting Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour launched April 29, 1988 at Globen arena in Stockholm, Sweden and concluded December 12 at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo after 139 shows visiting 28 countries, featuring elaborate Egyptian-themed stage sets with massive sarcophagi and canopic jars alongside the cyborg Eddie animatronic, though the tour was notably shorter and less demanding than their previous World Slavery Tour which had left the band exhausted. The album achieved commercial success with three UK top 10 singles including “Can I Play with Madness” reaching number 3, “The Evil That Men Do” hitting number 5, and “The Clairvoyant” peaking at number 6, while Rolling Stone praised it as “Iron Maiden’s most ambitious recording” and Metal Hammer ranked it among the greatest concept albums in heavy metal history alongside classic works by Queensrÿche, Metallica, and Judas Priest. This lobotomy Eddie design has become one of the most striking and memorable images in Iron Maiden’s extensive visual catalog, with the exposed brain and cyborg elements creating a science fiction horror aesthetic that perfectly complemented the album’s mystical storytelling about a gifted child born with supernatural powers who struggles with visions of future calamities he cannot prevent, themes that resonated deeply with fans during the Cold War era when nuclear apocalypse felt frighteningly plausible. Currently celebrating their 50th anniversary on the 2025 Run For Your Lives world tour, Iron Maiden continues with founding member Steve Harris on bass, original guitarist Dave Murray, vocalist Bruce Dickinson, guitarists Adrian Smith who contributed significantly to Seventh Son’s keyboard arrangements and Janick Gers, plus new drummer Simon Dawson who joined December 2024 replacing retired Nicko McBrain who had performed on the original 1988 album, having sold over 130 million records worldwide while maintaining their position as one of heavy metal’s most influential and artistically ambitious bands.
