Iron Maiden's new album is essentially done

JLRedWing13

British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have completed the recording process for their new album at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas with producer Kevin Shirley. According to a posting on Kevin's official web site, "There's still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak."

Shirley previously worked on the last three MAIDEN albums — 2000's "Brave New World", 2003's "Dance of Death" and 2006's "A Matter of Life and Death".

The next IRON MAIDEN album will be the band's fifteenth studio record, and they face a challenge to follow up "A Matter of Life and Death", which was received well critically and saw the group play the whole album on tour.

Ace_Deputy_Cheeze

whered you hear that?
N why here?

drinkwine732

There was a guy on metalsetlists who does nothing but talk about the iron maiden boards, and there apparently was a guy who was talking about them playing SF. I dunno how much I buy it, but I think it'd be cool.

Ace_Deputy_Cheeze

Have they played SF?
they were in Concord last time.

drinkwine732

They'd probably play either a pavillion or an arena, meaning it could be...Shoreline, Concord Pavillion, Cow Palace, Arco, Events Center (too small?), Shark Tank...lots of possibilities. I think by SF they mean the bay area, SF itself is too restricted.

Ace_Deputy_Cheeze

lol, Shark Tank

drinkwine732

I refuse to call it the HP Pavilion, it's the Shark Tank.
