Producer Kevin Shirley has confirmed that he has finished mixing the new Iron Maiden album “The Final Frontier”, at his studio. The CD, which is the band’s fifteenth studio album, was recorded at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, and it is expected to be released in late summer.

Shirley has worked with Iron Maiden again in the past, on their last three albums, “Brave New World”, “Dance Of Death” and “A Matter Of Life And Death”. Iron Maiden will embark on a North American tour with special guests Dream Theater in Dallas, Texas, on June 9 and finish in Washington D.C. on July 20. Following these shows in USA and Canada, "The Final Frontier World Tour" will travel back to Europe for a few selected major festival and stadium shows with the band planning to continue to many other countries in 2011.
