Sounds like the new Iron Maiden new CD is almost complete and to be released in the third quarter of 2010 . The title is The Final Frontier and this marks the 15 album by the masters of metal .Kevin Shirley is producing which is awesome he is one of the best out there.

[Faron]

This is one album I`m really looking forward too, A Matter Of Life And Death was excellent, hope this one is too!

[Jez]

Excellent - keep the big releases coming.

[Glen]

They are due a killer release. hope this is it.

[Dark Star]

Always look forward to a new Maiden release.. Let's hope this kicks ass!!!

Anybody check out Maiden's official web site today?

 

http://www.ironmaiden.com/

 

The front page has a "countdown" ticker on it that supposedly will end tomorrow with a big announcement of some kind.

 

So what do y'all think it is? A reveal of the album cover and/or track list? Perhaps a sneak peek at the first single?

 

Hope it's not an announcement that this will be the last album/tour

 

...Maybe Lauren Harris is replacing Janick Gers on guitar?

 

Guess we'll all find out tomorrow night when this countdown ends...

[Faron]

Roll on tomorrow

I'm sure it will be something about the artwork, tracklisting and single info.

 

at Lauren replacing Jan. At least she'd be a better dancer.

You can also get the first single, "El Dorado" as a free download by going here

http://www.ironmaiden.com/usdownload/index.html

 

Unfortunately I've tried that link several times now and get nothin' but a blank screen, so I guess there must be so many people on the site right now that the server is overloaded. Will try again later.

[Fat Freddy]

FINALLY got thru to the download for the new song on the dozenth try... listening to it right now... sounds pretty damn good!!

[martinsane]

That new cd cover and band photo look really sweet!

 

However, placing BD stupidly hot daughter on the cover would be equally as cool imho...

[Fat Freddy]

The new song has been YouTubed already (probably should've looked there for it first, rather than trying that download link fifty zillion times, hahaha)... this is not an official video, it's a fan made thingy which means everyone should check it out quick before it gets yanked...

In the deepest pits of boredom I wondered if I dare have a peek at this thread, just because it was at the top of the page and I have nothing else to do. And I thank you, Keef, for ensuring I made the right decision.

Happy to be of service, G.

Right after Star Trek get theirs from Ron.

[Captain Howdy]

Just listening to the song and am not blown away.

I think the last time I was truly blown away by any Maiden songs was Clansman on Virtual XI.

Everything since then has been ok, but just sounds so generic/formulaic.

Cant say this song is particularly special or hooky.

Shame really, as I love most of the Maiden stuff right up to the point where Bruce returned, then it all just washes over me.

[nightwolf]

i prefer maiden with paul di'anno on vocal's!

bruce is ok but paul di'anno gave them a punk edge!

[heaven&hell]

I'll have to say after one play I'm not crazy about the single but maybe it'll grow on me. I'm sure the new disc will be great as usual but 'Brave New World' is still my fav of the new releases since Bruce and Adrian returned the band.

[Shawn Of Fire]

As for "El Dorado", I like it...I don't love it. But I am looking forward to the album...

Same for me...BTW the cover is horrible! Seems like a cross between Eddie and the Predator, don't like it!

I`m thinking along the same lines, almost embarrassing.
