Hugely popular British heavy metal band Iron Maiden has announced details of a new live album for release on November 17 and it includes a song recorded in Dublin last May.
Entitled The Book of Souls: Live Chapter, it will feature live recordings taken from the band’s The Book of Souls World Tour in support of their recent album, also entitled The Book Of Souls.
The live LP will consist of 15 tracks, each recorded in a different city, apart from the title track and Blood Brothers, which were both recorded during the band’s Download festival headline set in 2016.
Of particular interest to Irish fans of the band, the version of Wrathchild on the album was recorded at the 3Arena in Dublin last May.
The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter will be released physically on CD, deluxe CD and vinyl formats, along with a photo book. A live concert film will be available digitally.
"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," says bass player Steve Harris.
"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."
