Maiden new album in 2014

[Perun]

Yes. The Seventh Son, by Orson Scott Card.

 

[Brigantium]

Maiden has been fairly quiet for some time now. Perhaps a new song will be played on the final Maiden England leg, akin to El Dorado on the 2000s history tour..

This would be just too good.

 

[DJ James]

Also, I don't think bands should try to imitate a genre that their original music helped create.

KISS during the 80's, oh man.

Are bands like Omen or Manilla Road power Metal?

Manilla Road's music is epic and high-flying, but I don't really consider them power metal. They seem more traditional. I haven't heard much Omen.

Was Seventh Son based on a novel?

Yes. Steve read the story of the Seventh Son back in 87 and wanted to do a concept of it.
