Because it’s actually believable that Maiden would go through all of this insanely subtextual, guerrilla marketing only for a fucking character from their stupid game.
Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

The writing’s on the wall, folks — Belshazzar’s Feast is the new Iron Maiden themed value meal at all UK Burger King restaurants that serve beer. Pair it with the Trooper variety of your choice, including the all-new BK-exclusive Lagercy Of The Beast, starting on July 15 for only £17! IMXVII indeed!

Found this small thing:
Rembrandt’s painting Belshazzar’s Feast was stolen in Bride Lane, London (in 1834).
Phantom Management is in Bridle Lane, London.
Walking from one of these lanes to the other takes 34 minutes (according to Google maps).
That’s 17 x 2. Looks like we get a double album.
Or better: two albums.

Whisper on the Wind a phrase Maiden themselves have used before

Now they have 959 followers..
Let's keep this one up and running, refresh after another.

They call Maroon "Claret" in the UK, so The Claret and The Blue, but good stuff none the less!
Although West Ham have never been close to ruling Brittania in their entire history
Their last success was winning the FA Cup in 1980, the same year Maiden came out so maybe Steve jinxed them

Can you do one that's white on transparent so when being printed it will only print the white section?

Me too.
But there is a possibility there that it might be more than that, they are going all in with the imagery for one, plus the "live forever", "man or beast" and "heaven or hell" could be snippets of lyrics or could also be titles of other songs.
I definitely think there's way more to it than being only the name of the first single, i.e. if it is the single then it's likely the album title track too.

Walking on the Woad? (Bruce has a bit of a lisp now)

Im ready for complete surprise when the announcement comes, sure album of course, but given the hints we know (or think we know) there's more to this. Once it's revealed it will be more easy to understand why this and why that. Fascinating and clever stuff.

Walking on the Welling (St)
Walking on the William (IV St)
You can walk via these two W streets to get there, from said lane to said lane. ;--)
All this madness started with WotW. But WotW is the link with the painting and Rembrandt and the date. We do not need another WotW to find out something. The album title has probably no WotW as abbreviation, we do not have to end with it.

Memes are everywhere, I found this from FC-forums:

Maybe WOTW has significance only to being related (title, letters of chorus or something else) as single?
Didn't the email suggest about three words, so could it be about the album title?
Wit Only The Wise (just had to try it here)

The significance is the date, namely the birthdate of the creator of the painting which has the writing on the Wall on it.
And/or perhaps also the creator and/or painting itself or something related to it. WotW is a clue to something else. Coming up with a different meaning for WotW would lead in another direction, whereas we already have quite some clues that all have to do with writing on the wall.

So, that confirms we actually don't know anything at all regarding the album? They will completely surprise with the announcement.
But it's surely fun to think these things here..

Ah, yes I remember that you're talking about this:
I bet that it means to be double album, not 2 different albums or releases.
But, yes as always looking forward to the news regarding this thing on july 15th.

People aren’t paying enough attention to the picture on the Feast flyer:
A tower or citadel surrounded by lightning and skulls. Where have I seen something like this before?
Three words: Tower Of Babel. Ties in geographically with the Belshazzar reference, too.
Also, I’d say it’s a good bet that the flyer image is a sketchy rendition of the album cover, and Eddie’s face will be part of the tower in the center of the image where you can already see eye slots.
