New Album called "Away from Messiah" and more...
Found this at the german Maiden Board:
The new Maiden Album is called "Away from Messiah" and will include 10 Tracks of typical but also of progressive Heavy Metal Songs. Away from Messiah is the first Maiden album, inculding credits of each band member! We were proud to hear 3 exclusive pre mixing Tracks (do not mail, we do not send them to anybody). Here is our Review:
1.Track called: "The Sky of 1916". Shirley told me, this is the longest Song of the album. Running Time approx 12Minutes. The Intro is like a battlefield, you can hear a military drum march which goes directly to a drum Intro and a heavy fat Riff (sounds more like master of puppets). Then Bruce sing a long Text about a soldier in France fighting. There is no direct Chorus. After 6 Minutes there is a break and you can hear a woman talking about the lost of her son, then you can hear some choirs and some nice guitar melody like sign of the Cross. At the end Bruce sings fantastic and there are 3 guitar solos and a little Bass Solo. I like this song very much, nicko drums absolut fantastic and there is very much atmosphere!
2.Track called: "Empire" Don't expect Queensryche...A typical Maiden rock song, Intro is a straight guitar riff like 22 Acacia and the chorus is brilliant. It will burn into you ears. Running Time 4Minutes!
3.Track called; "Escape from Memory". 'I like this song, its like blood brothers 2003, nice melodies and clean accustik guitars. In the middle the song becomes more speed and sounds like Brave New World. I like this too, but the keyboards are a little bit to loud for maiden! Stay Dark, Stay Evil

It's not in the business habit for pro bands to send promo tracks that aren't mixed ! Plus, they would send them to metal trend-setters and we don't have any info on who supposedly received the tracks.
Finally, I'm not sure about having 'Messiah' in the title... Even if they have no reason to be compared with Blaze, they have no reason either of having the two linked.
Cheers
This album will be great!!!

Ermm...
And how about Steve's style?
Does he plays some solos while the songs are running???
anyways Maiden will soon deny those rumors!!!
UP THE IRONS!!
Germany, only by a normal user, so I can't belive it.
I don't think that they invite someone intro the studio to play 3 Songs!
I#ve heard a few times that on the new album
would be a song about the ww1, but i don't think
a song like 1916.
Also the album title is a bit confused in cause of
Blaze.
Amen!!!
UP THE IRONS!!
IM WITH U GUYS!!
LETS FIND WHOEVER IT IS THAT STARTED THIS RUMOUR!!
TRACK 'EM DOWN!!
UP THE IRONS!!
UP THE IRONS!!
Who cares? You can decide what you want to believe and what you do not wan't to believe.
This kind of stuff is obviously nonsense, but what's the big deal?
Like the "Majesty of Gaia" rumors.
The "1916" Song is that, what Shirley wrote.
Also is the Name "Away from Messiah" a good
Title for a album about war.
