| Friday, July 9, 2010 - Iron Maiden's 'The Final Frontier' video to debut next week | The new video "The Final Frontier" from Iron Maiden, will make its online debut via the band's official web site on tuesday, july 13 at 3 p.m. Bst.
A teaser clip can be viewed here.
Iron Maiden's 15th album, "The Final Frontier", will be released internationally on monday 16th August.
The band reunited with long-time Iron Maiden producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley in early 2010 at Compass Point Studios, Nassau to record the album and then moved to the Cave Studios in Malibu, California 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" (1983), "Powerslave" (1984) and "Somewhere In Time" (1986) albums.
Guitarist Dave Murray says:
"We breezed through the album, really. We actually finished it in six weeks. We were getting down a track a day - all playing together as a band, Bruce singing, all in the same room, so there's a very live-in-the-studio feel to it. Once we finished a track we'd jump straight into doing some extra guitar bits. It was very quick for us."
"The rhythm's a little bit different from what we've done before, and there's lots of melodies. it's a big song (When The Wild Wind Blows). We learned it in sections just because it was such a complex arrangement, but it sounds quite natural."
"The Final Frontier" features artwork illustrated by Melvyn Grant and can be viewed here.
