Free MP3 From Maiden
Brand new album details and BRAND NEW TRACK FOR FREE
Iron Maiden have revealed details about their brand new album and they are giving away a FREE MP3 from the record.
The Final Frontier is released on 16 August and is the band’s follow up to 2006’s A Matter Of Life And Death.
To celebrate the announcement of the new record, Maiden are also giving away one of the tracks for FREE – ‘EL DORADO’ is available now from the link below and will be the one new song in the band’s forthcoming set list on the first leg of their Final Frontier World Tour.
Singer Bruce Dickinson explains: "‘El Dorado’ is a preview of the forthcoming studio album. As we will be including it in the set of our Final Frontier World Tour we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into The Final Frontier mood by giving them this song up front of the tour and album release.”
The band reunited with long-time Maiden producer Kevin "Caveman” Shirley in early 2010 at Compass Point Studios, Nassau to record the album and then moved to LA to finish the recording and do the mixing. Compass Point Studio is very familiar to the band, it was where they recorded the Piece Of Mind (’83), Powerslave (’84) and Somewhere In Time (’86) albums.
Bruce said: "The studio had the same vibe and it was EXACTLY as it had been in 1983, NOTHING had changed! Even down to the broken shutter in the corner...same carpet....everything... It was really quite spooky. But we felt very relaxed in such a familiar and well-trodden environment and I think this shows in the playing and the atmosphere of the album”
