Iron Maiden producer Kevin Shirley has confirmed that he has finished mixing the band's upcoming fifteenth studio album, The Final Frontier.
While the exact details of the album remain scant, guitarist Adrian Smith has revealed that the band have continued to push themselves on the follow up to 2006's critically acclaimed A Matter Of Life And Death.
"There's always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, [but] in a good way," he said. "It motivates you. We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do. We've been doing it long enough now - we know what we're doing!"
