Iron Maiden finish recording new album
Iron Maiden have finished recording their brand new album according to their producer Kevin Shirley.
Shirley posted on his website, “There’s still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak.” (via Blabbermouth).
This new Maiden record will be the band’s 15th studio album. It’s a followup to 2006′s A Matter Of Life And Death which was well liked by critics and fans. They also played that album in full when they went on tour following the release.
Speaking about a follow up to their last record at the premiere of their documentary Iron Maiden: Flight 666, guitarist Adrian Smith talked about the continuing pressure to release great follow-up records.
There’s always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, in a way it’s good because it motivates you. We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we’ve been doing it long enough now, we know what we’re doing. [laughs].
Iron Maiden is headlining the U.K. Sonisphere festival this summer which takes place on July 31st and August 1st in Knebworth.
