Well I was a shit artist (still am), so no. I did draw a cover for a compilation I made for a friend of mine who was just getting into heavy metal. It was a hand bursting out of a grave (not ripping off No Prayer at all) throwing up the horns while being struck by lightning. Metal as fuck :D
 
Oh not really, no. Some bands I could hazard a guess; Priest would probably come out with something METAL, AC/DC something with "Rock 'n' Roll", but I never really thought about it too much.

Dave, Adrian and Steve are interviewed on the latest Metal Hammer issue and there is some talk about the next studio album. In a nutshell:

- Steve is pretty well damn sure they will make another album and, all being good, they will tour to back that up. It might be a while before that happens, as they are on the Legacy of the Beast cycle. He also mentions that he gets ideas all the time and would not be able to use them all in three lifetimes.
- Dave says that writing is always there, in the background.
- Adrian mentions that he finds being on the road inspiring and that when he is messing about in the tune-up room he will get his phone out to get a few ideas down.

They are also asked if there is a temptation to write 10 short songs and be done with the recording of the album, to which Adrian replies that he cannot see them doing that, Dave that it would be the easier option and they don't like to take the easy way out, and Steve that writing longer songs is not intentional and perhaps he needs to set himself a challenge to write a four- or five-minute song.

They also talk about the great selection of songs by Bruce for this tour and Steve mentions that these days when they get to the end of a tour Bruce is already talking about the set he wants to do on the next one!

I'm still not convinced Kirk really did lose it, I just think he wasn't into doing the album. "250 riff ideas"... and he couldn't remember one? Fishy.

Thanks for sharing with us.
I think ( hope) they will be recording winter 2019, and the album will be released somewhere october- december 2019.

Well worded Steve. It is a challenge indeed.

Adrian is realistic and Dave lies.
