Steve says “We chose to record at Guillaume Tell Studio in France again as the place has such a relaxed vibe. The setup there is perfect for our needs; the building used to be a cinema and has a really high ceiling so there’s a great acoustic sound. We recorded this album in the same way we did The Book Of Souls in that we’d write a song, rehearse it and then put it down together straight away while it was all fresh in our minds. There’s some very complex songs on this album which took a lot of hard work to get them exactly as we wanted them to sound, so the process was at times very challenging, but Kevin is great at capturing the essence of the band and I think it was worth the effort! I’m very proud of the result and can’t wait for fans to hear it.”
Bruce continues, “We’re all really excited about this album. We recorded it back in early 2019 during a break in the Legacy tour so we could maximize our touring yet still have a long set up period before release to prepare great album art and something special as a video. Of course the pandemic delayed things more - so much for the best laid plans – or should that be ‘strategies’!? The songs are very varied, and some of them are quite long. There’s also one or two songs which sound pretty different to our usual style, and I think Maiden fans will be surprised - in a good way, I hope!“
Album of the year coming up.
Can’t Wait
Overhype of the year coming up.
hahahaha good one
edgy
Of course
Damn, the wait for this is killing me! And I know the chances of a nice, early leak are very slim. SIGH The day will be here soon enough though!
The kings of heavy metal are back!
Just a reminder to everyone that NONE OF THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS OR SEARCH RESULT LEAKS ARE GENUINE. None of them.
So don’t go filling in any surveys or downloading dodgy torrents, because they’re all bullshit.
it’s coming home, it’s coming home, Heavy Metal is coming home..
Stratego coming the week before the album.
How do you know that?
I can see the future…
Like a CLAIRVOYANT? I believe Belshazzar .
Simply following The Prophecy
He’s probably right, There was an image circulating that was the album cover with a sticker that said “featuring The Writing On The Walls and Stratego”, presumably the 2 singles. No idea about timing of it though, maybe they just have a video for it ready to go when/after the album releases.
Also, iTunes shows the song length next to Stratego. Apple music does not though so you have to go on iTunes to see it.
I wonder why there’s a post for Days Of Future Past that says unavailable?
Probably another Icon of Sin’s song.
Not long now! A few days of patience will be rewarded.
I hope that by august 27th we’ll get it.
Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow afternoon folks.
Stratego is coming!
18:00 BST today.
Not long now! Less than two weeks to an official release, which means we’re likely to get a leak in about six days. FLAC or GTFO!
The hype level for The Book Of souls made it to 246 and we’re not even to 50 for this one. People must not visit this site as much since albums don’t leak as early in advance as the used to.
*Souls
*they used to.
How do the figures work? I know you can add hype manually, once, but what other factors count?
I’m pretty sure it’s only the hype level that counts. I don’t see any other factors on here. No big deal either way.
Any chance this album is leaking tomorrow?
Unlikely we’ll see a leak until the stores receive physical CDs, which will be as close to launch day as possible.
Within the last week leading up to it, I would say.
The Book of Souls was leaked one week before the official release date, if I remember correctly. Must have been a Friday, too.
You’re right, paedubucher. I remember downloading TBOS on August 28, the Friday before the official release, which was the following Friday.
Cmon, I can’t wait any longer!
CDs already coming to stores

Nice! Should be matter of hours before it leaks now
A leak is probably coming soon…
Good news, now I guess the stores want to sell them
20 albums due out tomorrow and only 1 has leaked so it’s most likely Senjutsu will leak 1 day before release at best.
nah, it will leak sooner. 100%
But the other albums have way less attention than this one. So maybe there are leaks, just not reported here.

If any leaker reads this, please leak it in really high quality, like 320k please!
FLAC lossless or GTFO (ノ≧∇≦)ノ ミ ┻━┻
LOL Let’s hope it’s not 128k!
Maybe it’ll be a digital recording of a mono cassette tape that was captured on a dictaphone at one of the vinyl previews.
I just can’t wait anymore!
