Then what are the secret plans for next year that he can't tell about? Brand new tour? Bruce should have said the 2025 tour then, right. But nope. -> album release in early 2026 or late 2026 after Maiden's tour is most likely now. But they should record in 2025 for the former and can record in...

That's a good argument, but maybe they just don't wan't to think that much in advance and the plan is to start the brand new tour in 2026. I mean, Bruce teased it as a big tour, so it can't be starting in 2025. Or they can do a Hits/anniv tour for 2 years (not with mostly the usual classics...

HammerFall will release their new album called Avenge The Fallen on August, 9th. Track list: 1.Avenge The Fallen 2.The End Justifies 3.Freedom 4.Hail To The King 5.Hero To All 6.Hope Springs Eternal 7.Burn It Down 8.Capture The Dream 9.Rise Of Evil 10.Time Immemorial The album cover is cool...

No setlist changes for the first Brazil show, but there is a big screen now with moving artworks (like TMP cover during Accident) and clips (unusual for Bruce or Maiden; not a fan of that): https://www.instagram.com/ironmaiden.brasil/reel/C6KpS21tMy9/ I'm cool with it because it's better than...

I can't believe Gamma Ray's Avalon lost. One of the best power metal epics. And a textbook example of an epic sounding song. Literally every part is anthemic. Their classic sound in one song. Some thoughts on this round: The Siren is an essential Nightwish song. Those melodies! I think Bruce...

The 3rd single (released just a day before the album's release) is the most enjoyable song so far. It's still pretty much the same formula, but the song called ''Frankenstein'' has a cool old-school vibe (riff, verses and maybe chorus) and at least some melodic catchiness. That's the key. The...

Maiden can record the album either in early 2025 or after the tour in the winter (like in 2014). Iirc, Maiden wanted to release TBOS in early 2015, so early 2026 (in March like TMP) is likely and will keep the ''5-years plan'' tradition. Also, they will have more time for promotion, unlike if...

The 2025 tour is curious now. Or not. Even if Bruce is referring to his next solo album (I don't think so) and the said 2026 big Maiden tour - what will they tour in 2025? The most likely and easy scenario (also before writing a new album) is a 3rd leg of TFP with some changes. Plus Bruce said...

He just said that there will be a big Maiden tour in 2026, and inserted a possible hint for the next Maiden album (the band will certainly have time to record it, they have plans in advance). That's it. It's the fans turn to speculate. Bruce surely knows every Maiden plan so he can make his solo...

Spot on here about Adrian and his production. He had also said that he thinks SJ is one of their best produced albums, but imo TFF's production sounds more ''polished'' than the last 2 albums. I think Stratego is not one of the best sounding songs on the new album. And Adrian did co-wrote a...

It's great to see Maiden's page acknowledging BTP album, but Roy's behavior is really odd. Not only tour and album wise. I wouldn't say so. Bruce said so too. There are some solo songs with difficult high vocal parts like Aquarius (he'll work out it imo, from night to night), Book, Queen, Arc...

Sad Wings Of Destiny - one of the first heavy metal albums and a notable album in the band's rich discography, but it's not one of my favorites. 70's Priest as whole albums is not for me. They shaped their sound with it. Very much 70's Priest but with a hint of the future. It's just that they'll...

Yeah. 3rd leg, Alexander in Greece. Not a surprise, tbh. And I think the band will want to tour every year. But Bruce did say they want to celebrate the anniv of the band next year (with what if not a new tour or a new album?) and that Maiden's plans for 2025 are top secret (the recording of the...

Yeah it's odd for Bruce to tease a 2026 tour, but by saying ''big tour'' I think it will be a new album tour with stadiums, festivals, arenas and at least 4 months (SA,NA and Europe), like they did for TBOS album. I can't see them missing a whole year now, although they might want to give more...

Agreed, this is the most likely scenario. The album should be recorded early next year. They may or may not play a new song next year - which seems to point to a 3rd (European) leg of TFP tour. I doubt about a GME tour style, dunno why... Alexander will stay for sure. So Maiden view it more as a...

Bruce again about his future plans and Maiden's plans: ''Obviously, I'm on tour until the end of this year and next and I'm already thinking about more solo tours. And there will also be a big Iron Maiden tour in 2026 and another album, meaning there's no shortage of work.'' Source: here. He...

Gamma Ray are on tour now and there's one new artwork (a reworked version of Somewhere Out In Space?) they're showing on screen - I mean, a favorite of mine. The theme, the colors, the ancient temple, the sci-fi touch... everything is so cool and fitting for a metal band. I can imagine Maiden...

They allow themselves 3 months so it's kind of tricky, but I understand you. For the first time in the latest album I think they could have done ''more'' for a few songs, some decisions. Who knows, that would be so unexpected for a band like Maiden. They won't change the live approach in the...

For this to happen, the new album must already be recorded (when?) and they have to release it early next year, which is atypical of Maiden's habits. Spot on about something a bit different (I certainly hope so for the cover), but at the same time they will just want to write a pure Maiden...

It seems so, but I kind of doubt it. There are still more songs (maybe around 10 from all albums, including more new songs) that I think Bruce will want to play live. And the tour will continue next year, so that's good. I guess he will rotate the setlist (with the familiar songs now) for the...
