New Album Infomation

I think its because you stated the obvious a bit :| Iron Maiden would never do a song 47 minutes long, and if they did, you know the chorus would be repeated about 1000 times :err: like most Maiden songs over 5 minutes :err:

*waits for bashing*

I disagree.
Listen Sign Of The Cross, The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, that's 2 the longest songs but there is no 1000 times repeated chorus

Angel And The GAmbler isn't one of the best maiden songs ever IMO.
It's good song, but there's a lot of better Iron maiden songs, Angel And The Gambler isn't even in Golden era

Here's all that they posted :wink:

Iron Maiden plan to release their new studio album entitled A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, in early September.

The band started writing songs at the end of 2005 after a short break from their hugely successful festival appearances in Europe and the USA. After Christmas the songs were completed and rehearsed when the band then got together with producer Kevin 'Caveman' Shirley at Sarm West Studios in London to start work on recording the backing tracks.

Kevin Shirley has now co-produced three of the bands studio albums alongside Steve Harris, as well as two of their recent Live DVD's and albums. From this the working relationship between Kevin and the band seems to get stronger and stronger. Says Kevin, "The Beast is back! I feel from the outset we all clicked on this one. We spent two months in the studio, from Go to Whoa - from Nicko's "tubs up" to final mixes and sequenced master! That's a tiny gestation period for an album. Producing Iron Maiden is like sitting in the head and driving one of those mammoth automatons from Star Wars or Saturday morning cartoons! And there's nothing that can stop it!"

"I feel incredibly privileged to have been around to see this album born and breathe life. There have been only a couple of occasions in my career when the ENTIRE process of recording felt so complete - and it is on display here."

As on previous projects all of the tracks were performed live and together in one room. No click tracks or computer tightening or manipulation has happened at any stage of the recording.

Says Steve Harris," I think in many ways this has been the easiest album in terms of recording that we've ever done. The whole process of writing through to recording was very natural. I think in terms of the material we've also pushed our boundaries yet again and I think it will please our fans but also really surprise a lot of people as well. The sound we've managed to get is very powerful for a Maiden record and all of us have pushed ourselves in our own ways to create something that we're all immensely proud of and I think working as quickly as we did with Kevin really was part of that process. We simply can't wait to take this out on the road. We've played some great shows and had a lot fun recently introducing some of our older songs to a new generation of fans. However for us personally we're incredibly excited about getting out and performing these new tracks."

Says Bruce Dickinson,"This album has to be our best since working with Kevin. There is such a wide scope of musicianship on this album and in parts this album is truly epic. I thought with the likes of Paschendale from the last studio album that we could only hope to surpass that but having now heard the album back as well as sitting with a few select people and hearing their reactions as well I truly believe we have managed it. Every one of us has put everything into this record and it's really paid off. However we've had such fun making it that it's almost difficult to believe what we've managed to achieve in the time it took."

The full track listing is as below.

these colours don't run I supouse that's bruce's words from san bernardino, I didn't know that they will play song about that
and ''for the greater good of god'' will be probably the best song on album
 
its a concept album

lety try and guess the cconcept: i am guessing its a concept album that deals with a guy who gets killed in a war experiences afterlife and then reincarnates to do something to redeem all wrongs he's done in his lifetime so he can enjoy heaven
