Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

[MindRuler]

Watching that Bruce interview made me think in parts he was sounding a bit like Austin Powers.....it's probably just me....yeah, pretty sure...

Oh behave!

 

[The Dissident]

I love these developments and am excited, although the GNR fan side of me has ruined upcoming unannounced albums.

 

[Meliegree]

You didn't solve anything. You just made fun of who tried to make you understand that the hype was legit, and that shit was getting real.
But yes.....

Behave. Hype will be legit when there will be anything official. I said that solving that IS fun, not WAS fun. And since I like to compete im OSINT tournaments this part is interesting for me.

Belshazzar's Feast to me sounds more like a single's name, not album's

Could it be an anagram?

 

[Trevoire]

This is all very interesting. I wonder if this poster/shirt will appear anywhere else as we continue digging?

Could Belshazzar's Feast be the first single and Live Forever be the album title?

 

[Trevoire]

At the very least, it's nice to finally have something to speculate about! There's very clearly something going on.

What about WOTW

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

Yes, Im with @Fabio Maiden on this one and I have no doubt, this is it and Im getting really anxious to hear new material.
Very exciting times and soon we will hear the first single. It was only matter of time when they start giving clues and hints..

My bet is that is just a (biblic) synonym for the actual song/album title: Writing On The Wall.

Belshazzar's Feast just doesn't sound Maidenish!

Actually, it sounds very Bruceish

It does, indeed.
First thing I though of was 'Tyranny Of Souls' vibe and titles, in fact.

Sharing another tidbit someone has uncovered...

Here's a mysterious twitter account that's been obsessively tweeting out the image of the poster and trying to find more info.

Now here's the list of accounts they are following - only SIXTEEN of them. Pay attention closely and you may notice a theme:

Don't get the NOTB reference?

Also, I need that tshirt now

Dog Rating. Beast Number. I think.

 

[Yax]

There is smoke. Guess we'll find out if there's any fire. Hope there is.

TOS and TCW vibes.

Yep. Writing On The Wall is more likely to be the single's title.

From Wikipedia: Belshazzar's feast, or the story of the writing on the wall (chapter 5 in the Book of Daniel), tells how Belshazzar holds a great feast and drinks from the vessels that had been looted in the destruction of the First Temple

Oh, I knew that very well. The 5th chapter is in fact known with both names. They inserted the synonym in the t-shirt/poster. They go with WOTW for the single/album. I think, at least.

What do you reckon happens on 15th July?

Album announcement/tracklisting artwork reveal?
Single/Video release?
Album release?

I reckon the first, way too soon for an album release for presales etc., possibility of it being a video of a track though.
