\"\"UK metal legends Iron Maiden<\/b> have revealed their 16th studio album will be titled ‘The Book Of Souls’<\/i> and will be released globally on 4th September through Parlophone Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n

It was recorded in Paris with their longstanding producer Kevin \u201cCaveman\u201d Shirley in late 2014, with the finishing touches added earlier this year. However it’s release was delayed due to the health issues<\/a> vocalist Bruce Dickinson suffered a few months ago. Nevertheless with Dickinson been given the all-clear, Maiden<\/b> will now release a new record.<\/p>\n

‘The Book Of Souls’<\/i> will be the band’s first double studio album with the band splitting up the songwriting. It is the first Maiden studio album since 1984’s ‘Powerslave’<\/i> to feature twon songs solely written by Bruce Dickinson.<\/p>\n

Basssit Steve Harris had this to say about the album:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe approached this album in a different way to how we\u2019ve 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\u2019m very proud of The Book Of Souls, we all are, and we can\u2019t wait for our fans to hear it, and especially to take it out on the road next year!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
