Iron Maiden tease The Book Of Souls

Iron Maiden have issued a 28-second teaser clip from The Book Of Souls.

The follow-up to 2010’s The Final Frontier is set to be released on September 4, after being delayed while frontman Bruce Dickinson battled cancer.

Drummer Nicko McBrain recently called their first-ever double-length studio release “a stunning piece of work.”

He added: “Every time you make a record it’s the best you’ve ever made. This one, without a doubt, is the best record we’ve ever made. Sonically it’s brilliant. The compositions of the songs are fantastic.”

The Book Of Souls is now available to pre-order directly through Iron Maiden’s website.
