Iron Maiden aren’t just a metal band–they’re godfathers of the genre. Since 1975, the British icons have seen members come and go, but they’ve shredded arenas all the same, and became one of the world’s most successful and longest-running groups in the process. Now, fresh off releasing their new album, The Final Frontier, the sextet opens up about creating their 15th studio record, the inspiration behind their songwriting, the rigors of relentless touring, and the future of Iron Maiden in these MMN-exclusive video interviews after the jump….
