Iron Maiden have announced their new touring drummer
Following Nicko McBrain’s retirement from touring, Iron Maiden have revealed that “a name familiar to many of our fans” will be stepping in next year.
The next wave of Iron Maiden's reissues has been announced…
Continuing with their awesome discography reissues, Iron Maiden have announced the second batch of their remastered collection – featuring Powerslave, Somewhere In Time, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and No Prayer For The Dying.
“We’ve wanted to revisit these for a long time and I was delighted with the remastering we did in 2015," explains Maiden founder and bassist Steve Harris. "I thought it was the best that our albums have ever sounded and it was only right that we made them available on CD now too.”
This second set of CD Digipak albums will be released on March 22, with Somewhere In Time also coming with a specially artworked box featuring a 1:24 scale figurine and exclusive patch. That looks like this…
Pre-order the collection – which you can see below – now at Ironmaiden.com.

Third batch – May 2019
Fear Of The Dark (standard/collectors) / The X Factor / Virtual XI / Brave New World
Fourth batch – July 2019
