Maidenfans strikes again!!
The cover is quite good, although I think the font clashes with the picture a little. All about fashion I am 
yeah, the cover is excellent! But they should have used the same "BRUCE DICKINSON" logo like the one on Scream For Me Brazil and Accident Of Birth
EDIT: I dont believe it - www.screamforme.com has been updated! 
A million thanks to Bravewords and Blabbermouth for relaying the info ! 
Bravewords says: Excellent IRON MAIDEN fansite Maidenfans.com. Thanks guys 
Cheers
Amazing how the view count increases when the news are relayed.
Last time I checked, there were 182 guests on the boards...
RW, if you have time stats, please let us know
Cheers
EDIT:
climbed to 195... Well, still far from the Feb 1 record, but still

it is a shock. i thought they had forgotten about screamforme.com and just kept it going for old times sake!!!
Taffy
I love the painting, the face on the torso is really surreal, but it's a shame him stomping all the souls into the mouth got cut off on the cover though...

They had to react after all the stories we ran
Still, it's only a copy/paste of the press release. They still do not show the artwork
Cheers
for the record: I am the first Maidenfans member to use the artwork as avatar 
Looks great. Hope the songs are as good as the cover is cool......and I hope theres an LP version this time! I have AOB on LP but CW never came out in that format...bummer.
inspired on a belgian artist, I always knew it ! BELGIUM rules !!

In my opinion it's a little bit strange the "Bruce Dickinson" logo...
Not for the font type, but for the quality.... seem a job of a novice... 
But this don't interest me very much.... the important is the music.....

What kind of time stats.
Well done with the news again you guys make this site what it is
We've been linked from Electricbasement.com too http://www.electricbasement.com/news.asp and I've sent the story to totalrock.com to see if they pick up on it
This is it!
"Welcome home, it's been too long..."

yeah, it looks kind of weird
when i first saw the cover, it looked like there was Bruce Dicrinson instead of Dickinson
Yeah I noticed that too it tends to look badly stuck on and the 1 pixel border around the logo has some bad aliasing
this cover, is just as horrible as.... i don t know, Bjork's homogenic!!! its f*cking horrible.... i just can t believe it... i m a big BD and maiden fan (new in the forum by the way), i m not gonna say its cool just because i love the musicians...
stupid and sad cover IMO, sorry...
AT LEAST i ve got hope for the musical content, and i ll be buying it because i know its gonna be cool
c u
bye
the Bruce Dickenson font looks too much like Blind Guardian's font

Belgium rocks... We can be proud of our old painters!

I dont suppose theres any chance of this being fake is there?
nearly 5000 views in this thread already! Not bad

And it seemed to me as Brace Dickinson.
Perhaps they did it on purpose so it can be open for different interpretations.
Not a spectacular cover, but still I can't wait to get my hands on the album!
Wow, what a shit cover, I must say. I'm extremely critical when it comes to art, and I PRAY that the quality in that picture isn't the same as the ones we'll all be buying...
I could have done better myself, to be honest.

I meant stats for hits every 10 minutes or so. The count increase started when both Bravewords and Blabbermouth posted the news (it was a convenient time: early evening in the US, exposing the news to many people). What's cool is that some got interested and started looking at other threads as well.
We should also thank the following websites:
Metaluk.com
Metal-Temple.com
Electricbasement.com
Ironmaiden.de.ms
I'm sure there other sites that have been relaying the news, so thank you all and drop a line if you pass by
Cheers
For those still left with a doubt, Sanctuary has confirmed that it is indeed the real cover.
Cheers
that is one shitty cover....
i'm no BD fan so i don't care that much anyway......
Aww man, the cover with the spwan toy on it looks a 1000 times better. 
. the painting itself is very atmospheric and what-not, but what they did to it... simply horrible
. My brother could've turned that into a REAL arty cover. 
Is complaining as natural as breathing with you lot?
The cover's perfectly fine.
Stop complaining about complaining you.
Its a good cover in that it follows chemical wedding. I'd much prefer a Accident of Birth style cover but thats just my taste
Don't complain about me complaining that everyone complains
I have my reasons, and I'm sure you understand
You're French. You like to moan ![lol[1].gif](style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/lol[1].gif)
That's sheer racism. F'kin' Brit!
You're right it is . Better give me a warning or ban me Just as well the French have a sense of humour and know I'm joking. Not like the Americans. [<- Joke]
Well, it's the artwork that was rumoured. And as artwork goes, its alright... Just alright
. Better give me a warning or ban me Just as well the French have a sense of humour and know I'm joking. Not like the Americans. [<- Joke] [right][snapback]100500[/snapback][/right]
Yes. Those retarded hillbillie good for nothin goat blowing yankee crackers,..(Americans) have no sense of humor at all I AGREE:P
Personally, I find the cover a bit dark/mysterious, but if it matches pretty well with the atmosphere that the songs will/do create, then it's fine.
Looks way too "Monthy Python" to me..
Will by the album any way. Don't care that much about the artwork when I know the music is good.
who the hell cares if the cover sucks? Its not the only thing the album is good for... COUGH the actual music on it CHOUGH
This album is gonna kick ass. Bruce rules.
Who will play bass and drums? Does Eddie Casillas and Dave Ingraham still in Bruce's band?
The cover's perfectly fine.
[right][snapback]100491[/snapback][/right]
True. It's great to see Bruce chose a 15th century painting for the cover.

Thanks mate.
It's a decent album, but I don't quite think it's worth the 7 year wait... Just a bunch of average songs.
