New IRON MAIDEN Album Is 'Ready To Go,' Says Drummer NICKO MCBRAIN - Blabbermouth.net

Levy purkissa häh.

Herr jeessus . Onhan tässä kohta viisi vuotta jo uutta levyä odoteltu, joskin eilen WTWWB:ssää kuunnellessa mietein että vastahan tämäkin lätty ilmestyi. Kunhan nyt antavat vaan Brucen toipua rauhassa, vaikka kyllähän tuo näyttää hyvältä jos on aikaa ollut jo yksillä käydä. joskaan mitään maistamatta

[Tumppa]

Mielenkiintoisia uutisia. Ehkä levy julkaistaan ja kiertue alkaa loppuvuodesta, kunhan nyt Bruce kuntoutuu ensiksi (hyvältä onneksi näyttää).

[eddie6]

Jos ja kun Bruce kuntoutuu ennalleen niin millainenhan tunnelma on ensimmäisellä keikalla? Saattaa olla myös pientä meteliä ilmassa kun vahvistimista kuuluu `scream for me Helsinki`.

No siihen menee vielä hetki... Eiköhän lätäkön toiselle puolelle tule lähdettyä, jos nyt vaan päiviä tulisi julki. Eurooppa sitten ensi vuonna.

Steve Harrisin haastattelu tulevasta albumista
Hyvä että tulee jo kesällä, mutta että vaikutteita pop-rockista? Mitä vittua?

[Euronymous]

Ja Nickon oikea jalka korvataan kahdella vasemmalla!

[On the worlds hands]

Ei nyt varsinaisesti uutta tietoa, mutta Smallwoodin virallinen vahvistus koskien uutta lättyä:

For now, the focus will be on putting the finishing touches to the new Iron Maiden studio album and that is what we will be concentrating on over the coming weeks. The release however will definitely be this year.

Huh huh.. Tässähän alkaa pian jännittämään. Toivottavasti levy ei olisi yhtä paskan kuuloinen kuin edellinen. Pitäisikö foorumilla järjestää taas kisa koska levy ilmestyy?

[Euronymous]

Saakeli, että mää ootan tätä uutta levyä. Olisi vasta kolmas Maidenin lätty, joka ilmestyy oman fanituksen aikana. Toivon ja oikeastaan rukoilen, että biisit olisivat parempia ja soundit olisivat hiotummat, mitä edellisellä plätyllä. Jos sieltä tulisi esim. Brave New Worldin kaltaista ja soundista matskua, niin kusisin hunajaa.

[rocker]

Mää toivoisin Powerslave/SIT- siitosta. Pistetään vähän wanhaa ja sitä pitkää sekaisin.

[Euronymous]

^Mää en uskalla ees toivoa tommosta komboa... Mutta jos, JOS, tommonen paketti tulis, niin en tiiä mitä tekisin

The Book Of Souls - coming September 4th.



IRON MAIDEN’s eagerly awaited new studio album The Book Of Souls will be released globally on 4th September through Parlophone Records (Sanctuary Copyrights/BMG in the U.S.A.). It was recorded in Paris with their longstanding producer Kevin “Caveman” Shirley in late 2014, with the finishing touches added earlier this year. However, the band decided to delay its release so that vocalist Bruce Dickinson, who was recently given the all-clear from a tumour, would have time to recuperate sufficiently to join in the preparations for the album’s launch.

The stunning cover art was created by Mark Wilkinson who has worked with the band previously, and because this 11 track album has a total running time of 92 minutes, it is IRON MAIDEN’s first ever double studio album. There’s a broader split on the song-writing compared to previous Maiden records, with bassist and founder member Steve Harris contributing to seven of the tracks; 6 of them with Maiden’s guitarists and one sole composition. This is also the first time since 1984’s Powerslave that an IRON MAIDEN studio album also features two tracks written solely by Bruce Dickinson, one of which is the longest song Maiden has ever recorded! And also two Dickinson/Smith collaborations.

Steve comments,

“We approached this album in a different way to how we’ve recorded previously. A lot of the songs were actually written while we were there in the studio and we rehearsed and recorded them straight away while they were still fresh, and I think that immediacy really shows in the songs, they have almost a live feel to them I think. I’m very proud of The Book Of Souls, we all are, and we can’t wait for our fans to hear it, and especially to take it out on the road next year!”

Bruce continues,

“We’re really excited about The Book Of Souls and had a fantastic time creating it. We started working on the album in late summer 2014 and recorded it at Guillame Tell Studios in Paris, where we’d done the Brave New World album back in 2000 so the studio holds special memories for all of us. We were delighted to discover the same magical vibe is still alive and very much kicking there! So we immediately felt at home and the ideas just started flowing. By the time we’d finished we all agreed that each track was such an integral part of the whole body of work that if it needed to be a double album, then double its going to be!”

The Book Of Souls is the band’s 16th studio album since their eponymous debut in 1980 charted at #4 in the UK, in a career achieving sales of over 90 million albums worldwide. Their previous album, 2010’s The Final Frontier was Maiden’s most successful chart-wise to date, reaching Number One in 28 countries and was their highest chart debut in the U.S reaching #4 in the Billboard 200.

Due to Bruce’s illness the band had to delay touring plans but promise to be out on the road again early next year, giving time for Bruce to make a full physical recovery to be ready for the rigours of Maiden live performances.

Mitähän siihenkin nyt sanois? Tuplalevy? Okei. 18 minuutin biisi? Okei... onneks on sentään Dickinsonin väsäämä niin voi olla vähän ideoitakin. Huh huh.
