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

[Lego]

Hmmmm, this is interesting. And I'm almost sure it's not Attick Demons. What do you think?

That is definitely NOT Nicko.

 

[Night Prowler]

Sounds fake. Vocals are closest to Bruce, but Bruce doesn't overdub his vocals like that.

 

[DJ James]

Just got the news on this.

I am happy

 

[DJ James]

Death or Glory: another duplicated title... Motorhead song, Holocaust song, Heavy Load album, Running Wild song and album.

Actually, I'm surprised there aren't another half dozen power metal bands with that song title.

That goddamn polar bear, I love Heavy Load!

 

[cynick]

That is definitely NOT Nicko.

exactly. the drummer sounds nothing like Nicko... right from the start you can tell this is not IM because of those drums...

 

[Gk1]

It is not just the drums.This is just too sloppy...even for Maiden.It sounds llke they are trying to mimic the SIT b sides sound or something.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

That's too bad. Oh well. Hmmm, I wonder what other fakes we have to look forward to.

 

[Ariana]

That song... has less punch and drive than a log.

 

[Forostar]

It probably is Attick Demons.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

Ya, there's a chance of that since they do have demo stuff floating around.

 

[Forostar]

This made me laugh:

I guess we'll have many, many fakes.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

That's definitely not Bruce!

But this is pretty sweet!

 

[Perun]

With all those people sharing Mediterranean power metal bands and claiming they're Maiden, I'm starting to wonder whether I'm actually listening to the same Iron Maiden as everybody else.

 

[Gk1]

I got a huge memory gap regarding the release date of El Dorado prior to the album itself. Does anyone remember?

 

[Gk1]

ok so it was

El Dorado : 8th of June

TFF : 11th of August

So we'll most probably get something in the first week of July????

Loving that shameless plug in the comments section, Travis.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

That sounds like a strong possibility, I think.

 

[The Alchemist]

right now it's rumoring that Speed of Light will be the first single, out the 14th of august. Not confirmed yet by the official site

 

[Jeffmetal]

Maiden Revelations page said that Warner Music sent a note saying that Speed Of Light is the first single from the album and will be available on August 14th; tour dates will be announced on August 25th.

 

[The Flash]

August 14th? Way too late, I hope it's released in July.
