Iron Maiden New Album September 4th

ironmaidenIt is now official! Iron Maiden’s 16th studio album entitled The Book of Souls will be released on September 4, 2015. I, for one, am very excited about this announcement and it pains me to say that I wish September was already here, although that means summer would be over, and I do in fact love summertime. The cover art was created by Mark Wilkinson. I like that it’s simple, yet devastating. I have already seen some people complain that it needs a background of some sort, but I don’t believe it should. The black background is what makes it so stunning to me. I find it elegant and inviting, and plus, it’s IRON MAIDEN! We know what will be presented within the album. The rock n’ roll of metal gods, damnit! Embrace the cover, people.

Steve comments,

“We approached this album in a different way to how we’ve 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’m very proud of The Book Of Souls, we all are, and we can’t wait for our fans to hear it, and especially to take it out on the road next year!”

Bruce continues,

“We’re really excited about The Book Of Souls and had a fantastic time creating it. We started working on the album in late summer 2014 and recorded it at Guillame Tell Studios in Paris, where we’d done the Brave New World album back in 2000 so the studio holds special memories for all of us. We were delighted to discover the same magical vibe is still alive and very much kicking there! So we immediately felt at home and the ideas just started flowing. By the time we’d finished we all agreed that each track was such an integral part of the whole body of work that if it needed to be a double album, then double its going to be!”

Excitement! So mark your calenders for September 4th because it’s going to be a good one.

I’m 38 years old. I have a wife of nineteen years, Stephaney, and a 13 year old son, Trenton, and a 11 year old son, Steffan, and a 6 year old daughter, Charley. I was born in Longview, Texas and grew up in Gladewater, Texas. I have been following Professional Wrestling since I was twelve years old. I followed my dream of becoming a Professional Wrestler in 2002 at the age of sixteen when I started training. Twenty-two years later, I am still wrestling by the stage name of “Supernova” Sean Cordova. I have been a fan of comic books since I was eight years old. My first comic book I remember reading was Spawn #1. I also was a fanatic about Moon Knight. In my collection then among Spawn and Moon Knight, I had several mixed issues that included Batman, Superman, Ghost Rider, X-Men and Daredevil just to name a few. I would also make my own comic books and actually sell them. My Uncle Neil, in fact, bought a “limited time only” issue of a character I created called Black Cat and his wife still owns the only copy in existence. I fell out of comic books a bit in my teenage years due to Professional Wrestling, but checked in from time to time especially when WWE had a small run with The Undertaker comic. I got back into the swing of things when I started reading Batman RIP story arc and collecting many of the Batman graphic novels that are available. Now I have over twenty-five comics on my pull sheet at the nearby comic store each month and I’m having a blast! My favorite band of all-time is the Smashing Pumpkins. The first time I listened to the band was in 1994 and still to this day when I need a pick-me-up, Smashing Pumpkins is my go to band. The few that follow behind is GWAR, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Modest Mouse, and Guided by Voices. I hope that you keep checking back with Dropkick Daily and enjoy!
