If I consider both discs as two albums, which I will probably do, I think it's different Tongue

That second disc would be awesome LOL It reminds me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJkYGNiBkso LOL

It's probably hauting on vinyl Tongue I don't have a single Metal vinyl in my collection Ermm

But that's not really any different, Sam - it's all in the mind! Still the same amount of material

Then again, who knows...perhaps the second disc will be an ambient/acoustic/jazz odyssey tour-de-force!

I thought the same about the cover, but the more I look at it, the better it looks. I'll likely only be getting a CD version of this, but that image will look pretty awesome blown up on a vinyl-sized cover.

It's a 92 minute album but at least it's divided in 2 discs with reasonable lenght, I think it's better than 70 minutes. I don't like the cover much though, it lacks a cool background Tongue

92 minutes?! sh*t!! Even some of their last few albums, which have run about 70 minutes have felt overlong and padded-out!

Still, very looking forward to this!

(dammit, where's that head-banging emoticon gone that we used to have?!)

This is really great news, especially after Bruce Dickinson's health issues! Hope to see them again on stage (it would be the fifth time for me) in the future. As to getting them moved to Progressive Metal, I wouldn't hold my breath, but you never know...

The Book Of Souls

New double disc studio album to be released 4 September 2015.
Total time 92:11.

Includes their longest song to date, "The Empire Of The Clouds", at 18:01 long.

Will this be the album that brings them out of the Prog Related ghetto (I kid) in to the Progressive Metal genre?  Well, I wouldn't bet on it, but stranger things have happened.
