Ah, this is not an album cover - this is an album related artwork (which is included in TBOS album booklet and it was used as a backdrop for ''Death Or Glory'' live).

I don't think it's cooler, but it is good too. I like TBOS album cover (especially Eddie). The black background makes Eddie captivating, but with some details (pyramid, jungle) could have been better (with a different pose of Eddie though).

Another artwork (featured in TBOS album booklet too) is one of the best artworks of this Eddie... easily could have been the album cover (with or without pyramid & jungle). I like that Eddie can be seen in full.

No, it is not.

How about this one, it's truly great, isn't it? (This was last post regarding TBOS cover)

Absolutely stunning imho.

Plain black is what makes the original an icon.

Adding all bull shit around it would be like putting a load of prisms and rainbows and maybe a few crescents on the cover of The Dark Side of the Moon.

New post by bels_ feast. Nice looking cup (continues Belshazzar theme). And the three words on it. What's with the 11? And painting: The Departure of the Shunammite Woman (2 Kings 4 24), by Rembrandt?

And still more to come...

More and more mentions of WOTW.

So, is it real that some have even got their Belshazar's Feast-shirts? Basically now that you have uploaded the design and all you need to go is the local shop that prints these. And voila! you got your own shirt. That's really cool if really is.

that's exactly what I did.

Bels_feast sounds a lot like Belfast.

Maiden need to play a secret gig in Belfast

that's exactly what I did.

DIY Maiden T. Worth more then the real thing

I don't trust Maiden to actually bring out the real tshirt

I sincerely hope, all this buzz is not about just one song. I like Babylon, Old Testament concept.

So......potential album titles from all the clues so far?
1. Belshazzar's Feast
2. Writing On The Wall
3. The Fire's of Belshazzar
4. Tower of Babel (3 words?)
5. Fall of Babylon
6. Babylon
7. other.....

I'd vote for 'Babylon' or 'Tower Of Babel' myself.

I think its a great general theme for the artwork and album...that mines what Maiden do best. It also
feels strangely topical to today, which is something they've thought about since the 90s really.
It also sounds like a great career ender, if it is possibly the last album?
