Iron Maiden have announced their new touring drummer
Following Nicko McBrain’s retirement from touring, Iron Maiden have revealed that “a name familiar to many of our fans” will be stepping in next year.
If you're missing their live show, then you might like this record…
There's a new Iron Maiden live album incoming – it documents the band's last two years touring the world, which saw them play to about two million people.
The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter will be released through Warner Music on November 17. Bassist – and founder of the band – Steve Harris helped produce the record along with Tony Newton, and it sees them celebrate their set list from their The Book Of Souls World Tour.
Steve Harris says: "We spent a huge amount of time working on this as I wanted to get it as close to the Maiden live experience as I possibly could and to represent our fans from different parts of the world. This meant listening to literally hours upon hours of tapes from every show, to select material and construct a sound that would run consistently across the whole album and capture the excitement of a new country like El Salvador alongside such regular favourites as Donington or Wacken.”
Iron Maiden released their last album, The Book Of Souls, back in 2015. The tracklist for The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter is compromised of recordings of their set list from different parts in the world.
