Iron Maiden have revealed details of their upcoming fifteenth studio album. 'The Final Frontier' is set for release in Ireland on August 13th, and the artwork can be seen to the left.
The album was recorded between Compass Point Studios, Nassau, and LA, with long-time producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley.
Singer Bruce Dickinson said, “The studio had the same vibe and it was EXACTLY as it had been in 1983, NOTHING had changed! Even down to the broken shutter in the corner...same carpet....everything... It was really quite spooky. But we felt very relaxed in such a familiar and well-trodden environment and I think this shows in the playing and the atmosphere of the album”
The legendary heavy metallers are currently offering the track 'El Dorado' as a download from their official site, www.ironmaiden.com.
"'El Dorado' is a preview of the forthcoming studio album. As we will be including it in the set of our 'Final Frontier World Tour', we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into 'The Final Frontier' mood by giving them this song upfront of the tour and album release."
