Iron Maiden announce new live album ‘Nights Of The Dead, Legacy Of The Beast: Live In Mexico City’

IRON MAIDEN have announced a brand new live album!

Titled Nights Of The Dead, Legacy Of The Beast: Live In Mexico City, the upcoming album from the British heavy metal behemoths was recorded during the band’s three sold out arena shows there in September 2019 and is a celebration of their Legacy Of The Beast World Tour which began in 2018 and will finish next summer in Europe. The live album will be released in November, via Parlophone Records.

Speaking about the upcoming live album, bassist Steve Harris says, “when the final leg of our 2020 Legacy tour this summer had to be cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, the whole band was very disappointed and deflated and we know our fans felt the same. We’d been really looking forward to bringing the show to even more countries and although we’ve been able to reschedule most of our European own-shows for 2021, we thought we’d take a listen to the recordings from the tour so far and see if we could create a definitive live album souvenir that everyone, everywhere could enjoy. I’m very pleased with the results, especially as this set list includes songs which have never made it to a live CD before, such as For The Greater Good Of God, and other older songs like Where Eagles Dare, Flight Of Icarus, The Clansman and Sign Of The Cross which haven’t been included in our live set releases for many years. We’ve never released a live album from Mexico before and I think this recording does justice to the passion and joy of our Mexican fans who always give us such a fantastic welcome whenever we play there.”
