”My belief is — and I stress, it’s a belief — that this proves that I would have been more sick if I’ve not taken the vaccine,” Bruce Dickinson says of testing positive for COVID earlier this month.

The second taste of Maiden’s upcoming album is here.

”I’ve pretty much got no doubt that had I not had the vaccine, I could be in serious trouble,” Bruce says.

We’ve partnered with Halford on a double vinyl repress of that album on 180g “cobalt and silver swirl” wax which is limited to only 300 copies. Pre-order your copy now.

Iron Maiden’s first album in six years is available for pre-order in our store now, on deluxe heavyweight 180g triple vinyl, housed in a trifold sleeve.

”The songs are very varied, and some of them are quite long. There’s also one or two songs which sound pretty different to our usual style, and I think Maiden fans will be surprised,” said Bruce Dickinson.

This week’s playlist includes new music by TURNSTILE ft. Blood Orange, Tycho & Ben Gibbard, Xenia Rubinos, Caroline Polachek, Iron Maiden, and more

Iron Maiden’s bluesy, seven-and-a-half minute new song comes with an animated video made with Pixar’s Mark Andrews & Andrew Gordon and BlinkInk director Nicos Livesey.

”The last tour was really quite painful,” Bruce says.
