Rumors suggest that Iron Maiden have completed their 17th album!

The rumors started when Iron Maiden producer Kevin Shirley posted on social media, mentioning that he had spent three months in Paris “working very hard on an annoyed but not-very-secret project,” and that he’d “finished with a loud ringing in my ears.” Fans took this as a hint that the highly-anticipated album is now done, as Shirley’s post also included a picture of Guillaume Tell Studios. The studio location was where Maiden and Shirley worked on the 2000 LP Brave New World and The Book of Souls.

Blabbermouth had also reported that in the summer of 2019, Bruce Dickinson had told a California audience: “New Iron Maiden songs sooner than you think.”
