Mojo’s Pick of the Week – Iron Maiden “The Book of Souls”

Iron Maiden Book of SoulsThis week marks the return of the mighty Iron Maiden with their 16th studio album, “Book of Souls”, which recalls their classic form with a refreshingly retro sound. In fact their first studio album in five years is a DOUBLE album, and includes an 18 minute opus called “Empire of the Clouds”.

Check out the first video release from the new album, “Speed of Light” which, in keeping with the throwback sound of the album, brings us mascot Eddie in a 16-bit Donkey Kong style video game as he goes for the girl!

This epic album drops at roughly the same time as the revelation that Bruce Dickinson, lead singer and pilot of the band’s jet Ed Force One, is battling tongue cancer. Wishing Bruce all the best and hope to see them on tour soon. Up the Irons!
