Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

[R@inmaker]

As long as it isn't computerized or the guy that allowed Steve to use a "raw" DoD concept visual - should be cool as usual !

 

[Azas]

Are they greedy, or what? IronMaiden can't, don't want to pay for master's work? They forgot DOD disaster? I hope Melvyn Grant or Wilkinson painted album cover.

 

[Fabio Maiden]

Say what you want, guys. But, to my book, Nights Of The Dead Mexico City has the WORST and LAZIEST album cover ever, in the history of Iron Maiden.

Nothing against Akirant in general, cause he does great things, too.

Last two studio album covers: I digged them a lot, so I have trust in them...

 

[RLonger]

Yeah Eddie looks terrible, rest of illustration is not that bad. Yeah Rod is greedy as hungry doggie.

I'm sorry but I'm done with criticizing Rod.
I did my part over the last 1 year and half

Now better things are definitely happening, so...

I think they still care a lot about studio album covers... I strongly hope so!

MY BET for IM17 album cover?
DEREK RIGGS...
As it all started, it all ends...

 

[RLonger]

Yeah but even musicians called him The Small Wallet. The last rumour: Maiden may announce US dates for this year. Being honest I don't believe in this...

I love that idea in theory, but Riggs isn't who he was. My feeling is they contact about 3 artist with a general idea concept, and pay for concept sketches to be produced. I'd say Wilkenson is in top running after BOS, but at least 3 others will be able to submit concept sketches

 

[Brigantium]

They're Breeging this for all it's worth.

 

[Fabio Maiden]

Honestly I also find the circle thing very useless and limiting... It could have been better, as a "full" pic, without being in a circle.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I'm personally convinced the name of the album will be Belshazzar's Feast and the first single will be Writing On The Wall. And I absolutely LOVE that the number 7 could again be used as part of this!

 

[Azas]

How new album is tied with number 7?

Looking at this version of Eddie I remembered vampires from movie From Dusk Till Dawn. Eddie looks out of character.

Nevermind, I was reading into something the wrong way.

I hope Steve's epics on new album lyrically will tell us story, like HBTN, ROTAM etc. And will not be some abstract philosophical thinkings like TRATB, SOTV, TGU.

Idiotic to run around so openly with those titles. That sounds weird from someone who complained about lack of information, but doing it this way would be ridiculous. I'd say the obvious stuff we've literally seen are clues, not titles.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I just wonder if the title track will contain the words mene, mene, tekel ufarsin.

 

[Iron Lurker]

Belshazzar's Feast seems like too much of an obscure and unwieldy sounding title to me. But we shall see..

 

[Poto]

I just wonder if the title track will contain the words mene, mene, tekel ufarsin.

That's the chorus
That's the chorus
That's the chorus
That's the chorus

Repeat
