Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls
The Book Of Souls - coming September 4th.
IRON MAIDENâs 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 âCavemanâ 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 albumâs 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 MAIDENâs first ever double studio album. Thereâs 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 Maidenâs guitarists and one sole composition. This is also the first time since 1984âs 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,
âWe approached this album in a different way to how weâve 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. Iâm very proud of The Book Of Souls, we all are, and we canât wait for our fans to hear it, and especially to take it out on the road next year!â
Bruce continues,
âWeâre 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 weâd 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 weâd 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!â

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

Skuffet allerede.
- Stygt og kjedelig cover.
- Istedet for Ă„ korte ned albumet til god klassisk albumlengde, har de heller dradd feilen videre ved Ă„ gjĂžre dette albumet enda lengre enn noensinne. KjĂžper man vinylen blir det 3 plater og 6 sider.

Dette har dei gjort fÞr. (The) Wicker Man. The Alchemist.Invictus wrote:Nesten litt merkelig Ä bruke (The) Man Of Sorrows som lÄttittel, siden det er tittelen pÄ ei Dickinson solo-lÄt.
HĂ„per bandet lot seg inspirere i tilstrekkelig grad av BNW-studioet...

Artig at de tÞr Ä satse sÄ grandiost, men spÞrsmÄlet er selvsagt om de samtidig klarer Ä finne tilbake til gammel storhet i lÄtskrivinga. "The Final Frontier" gav meg lite.
Det hadde vÊrt tÞft om de turte Ä gÄ litt utenfor opptrakka stier, som Priest gjorde det med "Nostradamus".

Skal ikke nekte for at det hÞres litt spennende ut, men 92 minutt jammet frem og spilt rett inn i studio? Synes ikke live-feelen til Maiden funker sÊrlig pÄ plate heller. SÄ litt skeptisk, men plata skal gis en fair sjanse. TÞr vi hÄpe pÄ refreng som bestÄr av mer enn platetittel pÄ repeat?

5 Är siden siste album, sÄ sier vel seg selv at det kom til Ä bli en lang skive. Spesielt nÄr vi har en lÄt pÄ 18, en pÄ 13 og en pÄ 10 minutter. Jeg har troa pÄ at vi allerede snakker Ärets album her.

Rolige gitarintroar og repetisjon av titlar er vel Steve Harris sitt varemerke, ikkje Dickinson. Tippar lÄten handlar om luftskip.Antonzen wrote:Tipper at Empire Of The Clouds blir sunget i 15 av 18 minutter og det resterende er en rolig gitar intro.
Relativt lite trua, men kan jo bli positivt overrasket.

Det var litt merkelig Ä si. Det er jo alltid den lange lÄten som Steve Harris har komponert helt pÄ egen hÄnd, som alltid er skivas beste spor. When the Wild Wind Blows, The Greater Good of God, The Clansman, Alexander the Great, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Phantom of the Opera, etc. Og jeg holder en knapp pÄ at Steve Harris sin eneste solo-bidrag pÄ nye skiva, The Red And The Black, ogsÄ blir albumets beste lÄt.Kjellvete wrote: Har sjukt trua pÄ tidenes lengste maidenlÄt sÄ lenge det er komponert av Bruce
Men j****g spennende at Bruce Dickinson prÞver seg pÄ en lang lÄt for fÞrste gang. Det blir virkelig interessant Ä se hva han kan fÄ til. Tidligere solo-bidrag, som Revelations og Powerslave, viser jo en viss episk side av Dickinson. SÄ nÄ som han tar den helt ut, sÄ kan det bli meget bra.
Sant nok, la ikke merke til at det var Dick som hadde skrevet den.GullbrÞd wrote:Rolige gitarintroar og repetisjon av titlar er vel Steve Harris sitt varemerke, ikkje Dickinson.

Nuvel. Harris sine episke lÄtar etter 1992 har vore prega av lÄtskriving pÄ auto-pilot. Trivelege, men stort sett frykteleg forutsigbare.Runar wrote:Det var litt merkelig Ä si.

At det er Ärets album for deg, Runar, det teller lissom ikke. Du hadde nemlig sagt at det er Ärets album uansett grunn sÄ lenge det er Iron Maiden. Jeg hÄper den 18 minuttes lÄten er variert som et uvÊr og i klasse med "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner"!Runar wrote:5 Är siden siste album, sÄ sier vel seg selv at det kom til Ä bli en lang skive.
