Sounds like one on first listen...but I think its actually a keyboard note or swell. I'm wondering if this is Senjutsu's version of the intro to IESF. Maybe Nicko experimented a little with a large Kodo style drum and perhaps the wood sticks? There might be a war drum type theme running through...
As an artist myself, I'm in love with the new cover. I was afraid they'd go animated style or horrible CGI or try and recreate the older artworks with loads of scene detail, but Wilkinson has knocked it out of the park with this. I'm fairly sure it was still produced digitally, but with the...
amazing art. Love that they evolved the dark background and Eddie focus of BOS. That tinge of green light behind him is great. The colour choices and detail, fantastic. So happy
My hopes are high for the album. After endless listens to TWOTW there's just a great confidence to it. The playing, arrangement, sound (not YT) new clarity and detail to the instruments as well as a gravelly texture to the guitars. And great to hear Steve's bass so clearly and him to get quite...
Good detective and examination work.so death and life? Well they've done AMOLAD so they'll need to go somewhere else with it. AFTERLIFE? rickey Gervais sings some acoustic as a guest? "She's the serpent who guards the gates of hell .."
I'm not a fan of Herve's stuff at all. Its good fan art but shouldn't go near anything official. Fine maybe for tour posters etc. He makes everything look childish and silly. I'm hoping they keep some of that maturity that was seen in the BOS and AMOLAD covers.
Although he wasn't really a samurai there...just Eddie in jeans and a katana. Maybe they're picking up on the wolverine movie....
old guy wanted to live forever, and perhaps they will bring in the Japanese ritual suicide 'Seppuku' a way of going out on your own terms.
honestly its really open...
The armour seems more Japanese inspired. I wonder with Death as a symbol, are they going for a 4 horsemen type of thing?
or they going with just one work ....DEATH. or even a common Maiden/Harris theme, death and rebirth.
Exciting. It's certainly looking like Monday will be the reveal
Great stuff overall....a surprise style with the western/eastern acoustic intro (short and 2 the point, nice) then a southern bluesy riff that forms the basis of the song....amazing chorus and imagery. Maiden surprise again and keep growing. Proud to be a Maiden fan since I was 10 years old. Now...
