Iron Maiden Completes Recording New Album
Posted by Shadow on February 16, 2010 @ 17:58 Ultimate Guitar reports: "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.Speaking at last year’s premiere of the band’s documentary film “Iron Maiden: Flight 666”, guitarist Adrian Smith stated, “There’s always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, in a way it’s good because it motivates you.“We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we’ve been doing it long enough now, we know what we’re doing. [laughs]”Iron Maiden will headline this year’s edition of the UK’s Sonisphere festival, which will be held Saturday, July 31, 2010 and Sunday, August 1, 2010 at Knebworth.”
