IRON MAIDEN have completed mixing their latest album titled “The Final Frontier“, scheduled to be release in the summer of 2010. A message from producer Kevin Shirley is available:

I am smack in the middle of finishing the mixes for the debut album of ‘the-band-formerly-known-as-Black Country and running out of time fast! In this last month I have finished all the vocals and tracking and mixed the new Iron Maiden album, The Final Frontier – in my studio. I have also mixed an album of material by a solo artist who will come out of the woodwork when it suits him, and I have tracked and am finishing this BC(?) material. Glenn Hughes singing in the room with me was extraordinary, as he may be one of the finest vocalist I’ve ever worked with and I have worked with the best – Steven Tyler, Steve Perry, Lou Gramm, Chris Robinson, Bruce Dickinson, Robert Plant, to name just a few. It’s pretty thrilling stuff – very raw, quite basic, and 95% of it is cut live – well, between all their schedules, there just hasn’t been time to do much else – but I think that’s a poisitive – it’s very cool. Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris heard some songs and was knoocked out – he said ‘this is the kind of music that made me want to play in the first place. I’d go out and buy it now.’ The band played out at a gig in Riverside, CA for the first time in mid-March, and it’s very exciting stuff!

The game based on the the very popular Iron Maiden documentary movie, “Flight 666″ is now available for free. If can be played here.

The aim of the game is to fly your Iron Maiden jet across several countries, and drop speakers near the local people. If the speaker lands close enough, they will turn into rockers.. lol.. If the speaker falls on them, well, needless to say, you lose a rocker. The plane can be upgraded but of course, they cost points. You also have to avoid obstacles that come in the way. The plane has limited fuel, so use it wisely :P

Play the Flight 666 game!
