IRON MAIDEN Writing Songs For 15th Studio Album
November 7, 2009, 15 years ago
According to Metalexpressradio.com, IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers has revealed to sources that the band has already started writing songs for its 15th studio album.
Drummer Nicko McBrain spoke with Villagevoice.com this past summer about the follow-up to 2006's A Matter Of Life And Death which charted in the top 20 in 34 countries worldwide.
"The actual studio is actually booked," he revealed. "But the plan is in November, we congregate somewhere, probably in Europe, to write the album. Bruce and (guitarist) Adrian (Smith) (are over there), (bassist/songwriter) Steve's (Harris) over here in this part of the world, David lives in Hawaii, so to get together for writing before we all get together is a bit difficult at the moment. We'll probably get together in November, first week probably, and go to right before Christmas, writing the album. I'm really looking forward to that: just being with the guys, getting back, writing new songs, and playing them is always very special."
