"The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

[Chained Prometheus]

Well, someone I cant trust 100%, maybe he just wanted to sound interesting, but I know he has some connections ( tickets, back stages, stuff like that) He got the last Gamma Ray album before anyone else, that I can affirm... Anyway, he says it sounds good, taht the chorus was kind of weird but cool. He said he just could listen to it twice and gives an early 8/10...

Did he compare it to any song in particular?

Speed Of Light will be first played on Planet Rock at 8 am UK time.

From the Facebook's Planet Rock profile:
"So incredibly stoked and honoured to have the first ever play of Speed Of Light the stunning new single from the Mighty Iron Maiden's forthcoming new album The Book Of Souls........... this Friday morning at 8am !"

 

[Moonchild]

Guys, finally. Only 3 days!

So that means Maiden will have it streaming no later than 2AM USA central time since the station probably won't be allowed to play it before the official stream and it could be as early as midnight. Hell yes!

I guess that on friday at 8am UK time there will be SOL video at IronMaiden.com.

Midnight here in the West!! Midnight...it's aaaalllright!! Hahaa!! Yah!!!!!

 

[Travis The Dragon]

Oh, that's right. I'm getting these times mixed up! LOL There, I fixed my above post. It's still so exciting! Also, my countdown was to 10AM Friday because I was going by when most retail stores open, but the stream is obviously going to be well before that so it's 3 days from now and not 4. Hell yes again!

 

[Moonchild]

But i think that we will have single leaked tonight or tomorrow. (UK Time)

Ya, it could happen. I miss the days where un-watermarked promo copies of albums were given out and they'd leak between 3 weeks-2 months in advance.

You think? Rod would go crazy.

 

[Brigantium]

Exciting time all round! Please remember not to post links to any leaked material on here or tell people where any leaked material can be found. Updated rules re discussion of leaked material will be posted in the leaks and spoilers policy thread very shortly.

 

[Moonchild]

Yeah, i know.
So, private messages are allowed i hope so?

 

[Night Prowler]

No sharing of illegal links via PM either.

 

[Moonchild]

Fair enough.
So, i can catch that UK radio via internet Friday on 7 AM Serbian time.

 

[Revelationer]

But, can we post messages like “song\album is leaked”? Without any links or information about where to find it.

 

[Brigantium]

I don't see why not. As in simply saying "Speed of Light has leaked", but no pointers at all on how to find it.

 

[Perun]

So, private messages are allowed i hope so?

No.

 

[Virtual Factor]

Did he compare it to any song in particular?

The Apparition.




Just kidding. No comparaison was given
