Iron Maiden fans eager to hear the latest work from Nicko McBrain and co may not have to wait too long.

That´s because the band have just completed the recording of their new album - the follow up to 2006´s A Matter Of Life And Death.

Producer Kevin Shirley, who has been working on the record with the band in the Bahamas, said on his website: “There´s still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak.”

No word on a release date for the album is available just yet.
