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

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Was this mentioned here already?
Book of Thel & Tyranny of Souls ===> ???

If it is a coincidence it is a very fitting one, ,seeing how much Bruce has contributed to this album (and how one of the songs has almost the same name as a song from Bruce's solo work).

Funnily enough, Bruce does not have writing credit for that song ... or the title track.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Unless Bruce has been slowly chipping away at Steve's resistance over the years by carefully planned mental manipulation...

That would explain the way Steve looks on the Kerrang cover....

 

[Gk1]

What about that kerrang scan?!Anyone?!

 

[Night Prowler]

That magazine comes out on Wednesday.

That magazine comes out on Wednesday.

Thanx, I feared that would be the case

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Well, we have members from the UK here...question is..do they wanna buy Kerrang?

I'm sure more magazines will announce Maiden cover stories soon over the next couple of weeks ...

 

[Night Prowler]

No need for that, pretty easy to find an online version

 

[SixesAlltheway]

True that...and high quality scans will probably spread ...

 

[Maturin]

My local newsstand, or what accounts for one here, carry Kerrang as an import. Could maybe get myself to pick that number up...

 

[SixesAlltheway]

As do mine...But with imports, we get the "latest" mag like weeks later? By the time Kerrang is at my local newsstand, quality scans will probably be available.

Is this the most "official" Maiden board? What happened to the one on official site?

 

[SixesAlltheway]

This is not an official Maiden board. The Fanclub forum is still there on ironmaiden.com..but you have to be a fan club member to access it.

Is this the most "official" Maiden board? What happened to the one on official site?

It became a paid forum for fan club members several years ago. There is no official free forum.

No chance. Kerrang is by and large a heap of worthless crap with a couple of posters of whoever will sell a magazine to younger teens. Will it even have anything new from Steve, or just a rehash of the press release?

 

[DJ James]

I... you... but...

Hehe that is what I thought

 

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

If anything will have something special, it will be next month's issue of Metal Hammer.

They'll no doubt have an Iron Maiden special.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I can't wait for that episode of Kerrang!

And speaking of the album ripping off song titles:

 

[Mega]

Does that Kerrang cover say July 1st or July 4th?

 

[Mosh]

If anything will have something special, it will be next month's issue of Metal Hammer.

They'll no doubt have an Iron Maiden special.

Oh yea, I remember Metal Hammer did an awesome Maiden issue around the time of TFF.
