Fear Of The Dark: Video

Fear Of The Dark è la title-track dell'album del 1992 degli Iron Maiden. Scritta, come la maggior parte dei loro brani, dal bassista Steve Harris, è stata lanciata come singolo in versione live estratto da A Real Live One e registrata durante il loro concerto ad Helsinki del 27 Agosto 1992. È stato il ventiseiesimo singolo lanciato dalla band ed ha raggiunto il quinto posto delle classifiche del Regno Unito (ricordiamoci che la canzone è metal).
