I think it's reasonable to take the absence of evidence for an album having been recorded as stock for it not having been recorded.

Because there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that they have recorded an album, no comments from the band, no facebook posts from guys like Dennis Stratton letting info slip, no pictures of Kevin Shirley outside a studio or Dave Murray in a different hemisphere from where he usually lives etc.,
There's also tons of evidence to suggest that there is no album recorded, comments from Bruce saying he wants (future tense) to do an album but there's no plans, Steve saying there's no plans and seeming like he doesn't want to do a new album, confirmation that they are not doing anything in 2027 which would make no sense if they already have an album in the bag as why would they keep it until 2028 at the earliest? These could be all outright lies but I don't think Maiden operate like that, if anything Bruce is extremely likely to let info like that slip out.
I'm not saying there definitely won't be a new album, but as of right now, it is not already recorded.

Looks like there could be a window open for recording a new album in the summer of 2027 if they want to. Bruce's new album is probably out in the spring, and he has only mentioned touring plans for November and December 2027, so there is a big gap in between which could be for Maiden. Maybe this is what they will discuss when rehearsals start? If they have one more album in them or not.

I'm not convinced either. They strike me more as people saying nothing than people saying the opposite for the sake of it. It wasn't long ago that an interview with Steve Harris had him saying he didn't feel right or sure about one.
