Maiden have now finished recording

[Yax]

British heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have completed the recording process for their new album at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas with producer Kevin Shirley. According to a posting on Kevin's official web site, "There's still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak."

This simple emoticon sums up how I feel.

"We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we've been doing it long enough now, we know what we're doing. [laughs]"

I like this attitude, and I think that's what has been keeping Maiden from boring heavy metal fans. Instead of doing what others want them to, they have stuck to their own, and done it well. For 30 years.

I'm really looking forward to this album - since they've already done the recording I guess it won't be more than a few weeks until it hits the shelves? I'll get it on the day of its release.

Uhh, are you kidding? It'll take months, probably half a year at least.

It took 3 months last time. The last recording diary was released on May 24th and the album released at the end of August. So if that holds true we're looking at a May release date.

I really hope that's the case, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

[Forostar]

I really hope I'm wrong!

Marketing can sometimes play a part too remember though, remember that AMOLAD was released shortly before an album tour, they can delay it all they want to this end (as well as attempting to avoid other major album releases and try to catch Christmas sales, etc).
This applies to pretty much everything these days, rarely does anyone sell something as soon as possible.

 

[GuineaPig]

I'm anticipating September for the release date.

We should be able to purchase the album by the end of the year, regardless.
