There’s storage. And then there’s having Eddie from the Book of Souls album staring out from your shelf while guarding your most treasured possessions inside his own skull. One of these is more interesting than the other.
This officially licensed Iron Maiden Book of Souls Head Box from Nemesis Now is a genuinely striking piece of Iron Maiden memorabilia. The zombie-like mascot stares forward with piercing red eyes — the texture of the piece gnarled and unsettling to the touch, with deep creases and wrinkles covering every surface. Strings of coagulated blood stretch between his stained teeth, and the overall impression is of something that has been through the Book of Souls and come back changed.
The very top of his scalp lifts cleanly away to reveal a storage compartment inside — perfectly sized for rings, pendants, cufflinks, dice, or whatever small objects you’d like to entrust to Eddie’s keeping. The iconic words ‘The Book of Souls’ stretch across the inside of the lid, a detail that rewards the person who opens it as much as the person who displays it.
Cast in high-quality resin and carefully hand-painted by Nemesis Now’s artisans, the colour work across this piece is exceptional. The red of Eddie’s eyes catches the light, the pallor of his skin contrasts with the deep shadows in his wrinkled face, and the overall finish is worthy of any serious Iron Maiden collection.
As iron maiden memorabilia this occupies a genuinely unique space — simultaneously a functional storage piece and a display item of real visual impact. It draws attention from across a room, rewards close inspection, and makes your storage considerably more interesting than a bowl on a sideboard.
Gloriously grim. Genuinely functional. Officially licensed.
