Ik denk trouwens dat het de definitieve hoes gaat zijn. Op de pix van de tourbus stond die wolf ook...

IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson recently spoke to Canada's Chart Attack about the group's forthcoming CD, "Dance Of Death", due on September 9 through Columbia Records.

"The writing style's a bit looser," Dickinson said. "We were prepared to be a bit more open with our emotions on this record than we were on [2000's] 'Brave New World', and on 'Brave New World' in fact we were more open than we were on a lot of the previous albums."

This doesn't mean, however, that the MAIDEN fans should expect to see the band drastically altering their tried-and-tested formula.

"Every MAIDEN album is a challenge because you have to stay within the tramlines of what MAIDEN is, or else you lose it," said Dickinson. "To develop within that framework can be tough, so you just have to relax about it and you have to sometimes not try so hard and just wait.

"The key thing about writing a MAIDEN album is patience and waiting 'til the right idea comes along," he continued. "It's not about locking yourself away and writing feverishly every day for six months, it's probably about playing pool for about six months and then going, 'Ah, an idea! Great!' When it does happen, it happens very quickly, and when we get a really good idea it can be turned into a song in 24 hours."

"Dance Of Death" was produced by Kevin Shirley, who, along with bassist Steve Harris, co-produced the group's 2000 album, "Brave New World", and last year's concert set "Rock in Rio". The 11-track CD was recorded in West London prior to the band's recent European tour, and will include a stereo mix and a 5.1 Surround Sound mix.

"Brave New World" debuted at No. 39 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 270,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

IRON MAIDEN Guitarist: 'I Don't Think I Can Keep On Another 10 Years' - Aug. 16, 2003

IRON MAIDEN guitarist Adrian Smith told San Antonio Express-News that the band would only be performing one new song during their set at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Selma, Texas on Friday (August 15). The group's new CD, "Dance Of Death", hits the streets September 9 through Columbia Records.

"That's the problem. The album won't be released until next month, so we're playing all our old stuff," Smith said during a tour break. "The new song, 'Wildest Dreams', fits in really great with all the other stuff."

He added that "Wildest Dreams" (Windows Media) is "in the tradition of 'Run to the Hills' and 'Number of the Beast'. It is a short and sharp kind of song. It is about, ah, someone who is breaking out, looking for some freedom. It is a very simple song."

"Dance of Death" features 11 songs, recorded last November and December.

"The album is a progression from where we left off with 'Brave New World'," he said. "The last three, four years, the three-guitar lineup has really worked for us. I think we came up with a more cohesive album than before, and overall the material is stronger than 'Brave New World'.

"We recorded it in London, which we haven't done since 'Number of the Beast'."

And why not?

"Well, we did three albums in the Bahamas. Various reasons really. The vibe, the taxes, you know. But we wanted to do this album, and it was nice to go home."

With buzz-saw guitars and shrieking vocals, Iron Maiden emerged on the scene in the late '70s as heavy metal entered an international renaissance.

Founded by bass player Steve Harris, Iron Maiden hit its stride with guitarist Dave Murray, whose frenzied playing style became part of the band's signature sound. The rest of the band on tour is Bruce Dickinson, vocals; Nicko McBrain, drums; and Janick Gers, guitar.

Heavy touring alongside the Scorpions, Kiss and Judas Priest cemented the Maiden's standing as a major player in heavy metal.

On stage, Iron Maiden has always been about entertaining the crowds.

"We have always been known for putting on a good show," Smith said. "A lot of our music is fairly dramatic, theatrical, so we like to complement that with a good, fairly lavish stage show."

"We do like participation from the audience. We like to see the audience get into it. We couldn't stand up there like a cabaret band that just plays the notes."

Fans can expect the usual explosions, big lights and ear-splitting volume.

"All kinds of things, a lot of special effects, and you get us, too," Smith said.

And the band's familiar undead mascot, Eddie, will also be there.

"Eddie represents the crazy side of the band. He is the extreme side. He allows us to get into our music and not end up in rehab somewhere."

Eddie, a futuristic skeletal character, became part of the band's original musical vision, explained Smith. "The first albums were sort of horror rock, like 'Phantom of the Opera' and 'Murders of the Rue Morgue,' and it kind of really went well with it. We're changing it now and he's featured a little less.

"You don't want him burying the hatchet in some guy's head on every album cover, you know."

Smith, 47, had to really think about the hardest part of being on tour. And then he laughed before he could answer:

"Well, sometimes you get a run of three or four days where you don't get any sleep and you can't get a proper meal and you get a bit run down, but generally, you know, I really enjoy it.

"Being in America in the summer, it's great. You can get anything you need here."

So how much longer will he keep up with Iron Maiden?

"I been doing this for more than 20 years and I think I still have a few more miles in me. But I don't think I can keep on another 10 years."
