Iron Maiden to hit the studio imminently

According to American radio DJ Eddie Trunk, Iron Maiden have reportedly penned eight new songs for the follow-up to 2006’s A Matter Of Life And Death and are set to enter the studio in the next few weeks.

"Got a call from Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain last night [and] he told me Maiden are headed into the studio in a couple weeks to start work on a new CD,” said Trunk on his radio programme on New York's Q104 this past Friday (January 1). “He said there was about eight songs written so far so the band would probably need to come up with a few more new songs while recording.”

Trunk also added that Iron Maiden’s new material is “a little different than past albums” and that the band intend to take their time in the studio and the as-yet-untitled record “probably won't come out until 2011."

Iron Maiden

Should be a good album. Hopefully they'll preview some of it at Sonisphere this year. And even if it IS a little different from previous albums, it'll still rock hard!

its always exciting stuff when iron maiden are getting ready to release a new album but then again their last 3 albums have been quite a let down. i mean there are some good songs dont get me wrong. but the way steve harris writes the songs is that there is always 1 maybe 2 songs that are straight forward iron maiden rockers that can be considered future classics and then the rest of the album is 8 minute songs going quiet then loud etc. dont get me wrong i fucking love iron maiden but obviously the older material.

2010.

In 2009 IM said: "Prior to playing a few selected dates next summer, Maiden are currently working on a new album expected to be released late next year."

That year is 2010. Don't worry Troopers, you won't have to wait an extra year.
