I think these will be some of the best epics that Harris has written for Maiden. I think his song writing leveled up with the British Lion 2nd album and i am sure he brought some amazing ideas to the table this time with Maiden.
Yeah, I highlighted this a few pages back. It's not official anyway - it's a composite from Kerrang based on photos taken individually.
Most of the songs of the second BL album were written (and played live) before BOS was composed. And it's clear that Steve does not bring the same stuff to both bands.
I think I heard somewhere albums 1-7 are supposed to be pretty decent....yeah, fairly sure.
I've been a long time guest and finally decided to contribute myself.
Steve's songwriting in the 80's was on a another level. Look at the stuff he came up with

I'm glad that you brought this up, cause it has been on my mind since October last year. Obviously, we all knew that they recorded the new album in 2019 (which was eventually confirmed today), but in October 2020 there was an article, which stated that "Iron Maiden have been in the studio, and are gagging and ready to go". It was based on a video message from Bruce to the fans offering an update on the sextet's current activity. Bruce said: "A lot of things haven't happened this year, that's blindingly obvious, and it's very, very frustrating,” the singer states. “However, we do have plans. In the meantime, what are we doing? Well, we're doing bits of writing. I'm talking to Steve [Harris]. We've been working together a little bit in the studio. On what, I can't tell you, ’cause they'd have to kill me.”
In a recent interview with Sunday Express, Bruce stated: "I've been writing stuff for Iron Maiden which I can't tell you about but I will be able to talk about it at the one-man show. It's exciting!"
I might interpret too much, but to me, these are all clues that Maiden have been begun writing songs for album #18. Senjutsu was finished two years ago and almost ready to go, so why would they return to the studio? Why would Bruce talk about stuff he has been writing for Iron Maiden, but can't tell us about, if this only regarded the 3 songs he is credited for on the new album (#17)?
Killers - 9! Jesus, the man wrote the whole album himself almost lol
Yeah, I am 200% buying it. I would like to have the self control to avoid listening to it beforehand, but I mean…come on lol
I agree and could not have written this better myself. I love the 80's cover art, but most post reunion covers were too full of "sloppy" details. Sometimes, less is more.
Might be, might not be, but I understand what you mean. They gotta keep the train rolling. However, I've got a gut feeling telling me something else about this.
