Hey did you nerds know there’s a new Iron Maiden album coming out? Because there is. I’m stoked as hell for it. It’s called The Book of Souls, and apparently it clocks in at a whopping 92 minutes. I’ve started to align myself with the Metalsucks & Angry Metal Guy stance that an album hits diminishing returns after about 45-50 minutes recorded.

Here’s the track listing so far. Great to see a lot of Harris tracks on there. I’m not sure about an 18 minute song about clouds, but if anyone can make it awesome, it’s Iron Maiden.

Disc 1
1. If Eternity Should Fail (Dickinson) 8:28
2. Speed Of Light (Smith/ Dickinson) 5:01
3. The Great Unknown (Smith/ Harris) 6:37
4. The Red And The Black (Harris) 13:33
5. When The River Runs Deep (Smith/ Harris) 5:52
6. The Book Of Souls (Gers/ Harris) 10:27

Disc 2
7. Death Or Glory (Smith/ Dickinson) 5:13
8. Shadows Of The Valley (Gers/ Harris) 7:32
9. Tears Of A Clown (Smith/ Harris) 4:59
10. The Man Of Sorrows (Murray/ Harris) 6:28
11. Empire Of The Clouds (Dickinson) 18:01

No songs are available yet. But in the process of searching one out I found out there’s a band called Attick Demons that sound REALLY similar to Iron Maiden. And now I’m grumpy because I was almost tricked.

Anyway, Attick Demons sound pretty solid so I might as well share their song here.
