quote:The stunning cover art was created by Mark Wilkinson, who has worked with the band previously, and because this 11-track album has a total running time of 92 minutes, it is IRON MAIDEN’s first ever double studio album. There’s a broader split on the songwriting compared to previous Maiden records, with bassist and founder member Steve Harris contributing to seven of the tracks; 6 of them with Maiden’s guitarists and one sole composition. This is also the first time since 1984’s Powerslave that an IRON MAIDEN studio album also features two tracks written solely by Bruce Dickinson, one of which is the longest song Maiden has ever recorded! And also two Dickinson/Smith collaborations.
quote:Steve comments,
“We approached this album in a different way to how we’ve recorded previously. A lot of the songs were actually written while we were there in the studio and we rehearsed and recorded them straight away while they were still fresh, and I think that immediacy really shows in the songs, they have almost a live feel to them, I think. I’m very proud of The Book Of Souls, we all are, and we can’t wait for our fans to hear it, and especially to take it out on the road next year!”
Bruce continues,
“We’re really excited about The Book Of Souls and had a fantastic time creating it. We started working on the album in late summer 2014 and recorded it at Guillame Tell Studios in Paris, where we’d done the Brave New World album back in 2000 so the studio holds special memories for all of us. We were delighted to discover the same magical vibe is still alive and very much kicking there! So we immediately felt at home and the ideas just started flowing. By the time we’d finished we all agreed that each track was such an integral part of the whole body of work that if it needed to be a double album, then double its going to be!”

http://www.metalfan.nl/article.php?sid=14097quote:Iron Maiden heeft een nieuw en groter vliegtuigNadat eerder deze week bekend werd dat Iron Maiden een nummer opdraagt aan acteur Robin Williams, komt de band vandaag met groter nieuws. Begin volgend jaar gaat de band op tournee, voor het nieuwe album The Book Of Souls dat volgende week uitkomt. De band gaat weer in stijl op tour, want wederom wordt een eigen vliegtuig gebruikt. Ed Force One, zoals de bijnaam van het vliegtuig is, zal wel een verandering ondergaan. De vorige keer werd gebruik gemaakt van een Boeing 757, nu heeft Iron Maiden iets groters tot zijn beschikking.
Onder leiding van gezagvoerder Bruce Dickinson vliegt de band vanaf februari rond de wereld in een Boeing 747, die bijna twee maal zo groot is als het vorige vliegtuig. De tour brengt de band eerst naar Noord- en Zuid-Amerika, om vervolgens via Japan, China, Australië, Nieuw-Zeeland en Zuid-Afrika in mei in Europa te landen. De Europese tournee zal tot begin augustus doorgaan, dus we verwachten de band weer op diverse festivals. De exacte datums zijn echter nog niet bekend.

Bruce comments;
“We cannot wait to get back out on tour. Maiden thrive on touring and getting out to our fans, it’s also
what we enjoy most. When we start in the USA in late February it will be 19 months since our last
show at Sonisphere in the UK so we are raring to go. It will be a great feeling to board our new Jumbo
Ed Force One with the crew and the gear and head round the globe and get back on stage for you
guys! Last time we played at the Gelredome was back in 2011 so it’ll be great to come back to
Arnhem and see everyone again.
“Of course we haven't decided on the set list as yet and won’t until we start rehearsing but we really
look forward to playing a number of new songs live, especially as the recording was so much live.
However, as it’s been a while since we saw you all, I am sure we will include plenty of older fan
favourites too. I think the fans will be delighted by what we have in mind. We are also in the middle of
creating the new show and rest assured we are working hard to bring you all something spectacular,
something with a lot of heart !!! You certainly deserve it for your patience.“
